Tnat time limit was tacitly set by the executive council of the railroad shop crafts in suggesting to union locals throughout the country that President Wilson's compromise offer in response to their demand for higher wages should be accepted pend ing the outcome of the effort to re 1 - - 1 i mure a iiuimai price level. if the cost of living does not come down, the 500,(XX) members of the shop crafts would reserve the light to strike for more money, and with them probably would be associated the remainder of the 2,500,000 railroad employees, all of whom have been considering the same problem. The letter of the executive council served to compose somewhat the uneasiness felt in official circles over the immediate labor situation and to focus attention on the legal measures being directed by Attorney General Palmer and his assistant, Judge Ames, to take the inflation of prices by punishing hoarders and profiteers. "In our opinion," the letter said, "the next 90 days will bring the entiro situation to a head, and if a strike is to take place every class of railroad employees shouud be willing to join in the movement, share their full measure pf responsibility and not leave the issue- tr? Ke dwi/lwl hv the 22 per cent, of the railroad employees represented by the federated trades." Apprehension was evident, however, both in the letter and in the conversation of international officers that the men might not be willing to accept hei ry Industrial HORRY, S. C.

THE HOBBY HERALD, COJTW :ho suggestion that the question of a strike be left in the hands of the executive council and a suspension of vork to be ordered only after a reasonable time" had made it clear that such a step was necessary to afford relief. The letter said the proposal was certain to draw criticisms from in [lividuals "who have not as yet indicated n desire to listen to reason," and that it was conceivable some men would want to rush into a strike now. Officers of the unions declined to hazard a guess whether the advice would prevail, but hoped that the moderate element would dominate the deliberations. Attorney General Palmer has said that a few convictions for flagrant cases of profiteering and hoarding would end that trouble within *>0 days. In order to obtain criminal con victions for such persons whom the administration believes to be guilty of bringing the country into more serious danger ever than the war with Germany, amendment of the food eon trol law now pending in congress is necessary. The legislation to impose $o,000 fine or two years' imprisonment or both for violation of the law has been reported out in both house and senate, but neither has acted on it. - EXPLAINS COTTON WAREHOUSE PLAN ' ' ? > Rufus R. Wilson, of Boston, president of the Union Warehouse corporation, which is planning to establish a chain of warehouses throughout the South, including one 40,000-bale warehouse in Columbia, was in Columbia last week and while there he issued a statement explaining the plans of the corporation for the erection of the new chain. Mr. Wilson left Columbia for Spartanburg, anoth er point where one of the corporation warehouses is to be built. 1 Mr. Wilson's statement follows: "Speaking as president of the Union Warehouse Organization corporation, which has no direct connection with the World Cotton Conference, but of which I am the executive head, I think it will remove ungrounded misapprehension if I state that the primary objects of our proposed chain of warehouses is to bring about more direct relations between the consumer of cotton and the grower off School IESDAY, Course > m i A i ^ IKI IIIMU) ND MUSIC ' Is last session.

I of prices by making possible the slow | or movement of cotton to market, and i that by removing many of the obstacles which now exist to the general adoption of gin compression, they will effectively clear the way to a great and much needed reform in the cotton industry. "The warehouse will have no connection whatever with the purchase or sale of cotton. They will be simply custodians of cotton, and any employe of the warehouse company making actual or speculative purchases of cotton will be immediately dismissed from his position. We desire to make the warehousing of cotton a safe and profitable business proposition, in which the general investor, who has no connection with the cotton industry, can safely place his money. The plan which we have worked out has now reached such a definite state that we can safely say that in any section where a ten thous I and bale warehouse can be profitably operated, such a warehouse will be erected, provided those who will use it are prepared to meet, through purchases of securities in the company, a minimum of one-fifth of its cost. We hope eventually to have what wc call a producer's warehouse in every center producing 50,000 or upwards bales of cotton each year." PROMISES REDUCTION IN COST OF LIVING Washington.?An early reduction in the cost of living is promised by the attorney general, following a promise of the shoe manufacturers to lix maximum imicos for footwear. Gen. Palmer has warned the public against extensive buying of necessities saying this would needlessly reduce the supply and thereby cause a continuance of the prevailing high pi ices.

"We hope the public will begin to | reap the benefit of our efforts before long Mr. Palmer said. For instance we are making- progress in obtaining promises from shoe manufacturers as to fixing a limit beyond which prices shall not go. Propaganda which apparently is nationwide on the part of shop keepers seeking to induce purchasers now on tlm pretext that prices will be materially higher next season, was condemned by Mr. Palmer as one certain thing which would make prices continue rising if heeded. His attention was called to advertisements in various papers in which it was stated that straw hats, clothing and other non-perishable articles. should be bought before next year's prices become effective. "It is very unfortunate that some merchants take that attitude and we have been studying the situation" the attorney general said. Extensive purchases now, reducing the supply and increasing the demand would r make their predictions come true, whereas we hope for a normal price level if the people do not stampede into a buying hysteria." o FRENCH WATCHING UNITED STATES Paris.?The French deputies are wathching with great interest the controversy going on in the United States senate over the treaty, with unfavorable comments on the senate's procrastination. One deputy, who heretofore has been a staunch supporter of the league of nations, said: "If the league of nations is the cause, then I say amputate the league covenant from the treaty, but for the sake 3i everybody ratify the treaty." Premier Clomenceau will speak last in the debate on the treaty, unless drawn in*A the d.'wcns?mn I onSs Klotz, the finance minister, Capt, Andre Tardieu of the French peace mission, Louis Loucher, minister of reconstruction and F.tninnn Plrnvirtnf/O minister of commerce, will holp present the case of the government.
