FOOD INQUIRY PENDING Urged Acceptance of President's Com promise Offer in MeantimeIn crease Depends on Results Government Can Show. Washington, Aug. 30. Industrial peace In the United States depends on the results, the government can show in the next 90 days in its campaign to reduce the cost of living, in the view of government officials and labor leaders here. Three months is the time limit tacitly set by the legislative council of the railroad shop crafts in suggesting to union locals throughout the country that President Allison's compromise offer in response to their demand for higher wages should be accepted pending the outcome of the effort to restore a normal price level. Reserve Strike Right If the cost of living does not come down, the 500,000 inembess of' the shop crafts would reserve the right to strike for more money, and with them probably would be associated the re mainder of the 2,600,000 railroad em ployes, all of whom have been consid ering the same problem.

Ninety Days Time Limit. "In our opinion," the letter said, "the next 90 days will bring the en tire situation to a head, and if a strike Is to take place every class of railroad employes should be willing to join in the movement, share their full meas ure of responsibility and not leave the issue to be decided by the 22 per cent of the railroad employes represented by the federated trades.
