Washington.—Industrial peace In the United Btatea depends on the re sults the government can show in the next 90 days in its campaign to re duce the cost of living. That time limit was tacitly set by the executive council of the railroad shop crafts in suggesting to locals throughout the country that President Wilson’s compromise offer in response lo.4hgJr_jismand^fqr higher wages should be accepted pending the out come of the effort to restore a normal price level. If the cost of living does not come down, the 500,000 members of the shop craft would reserve the right to strike for more money, and with them probably would be associated the re mainder of the 2,500,000 railroad em ployes, all of whom have been con sidering the stpne problem. The letter of the executive coun cil served to compose somewhat the uneasiness felt in official circles over the immediate labor situation and to focus attention on the legal meas ures being directed by Attorney Gen era! Palmer and his assistant, Judge Ames, to take the inflation out of prices by punishing hoarders and profiteers. S=S ffELINQ BLUE?
