In his report, Mr. Gregory said: "A careful consideration of the case of Miss Cavell, one of the most pa thetic and appealing victims of the great war, whose unfortunate fate has aroused the sympathy and excit ed the indignation of two continents, has led me to the conclusion that she was executed in accordance with the laws and usages of what we are pleas ed commonly to refer to as civilized warfare. "This being so it has seemed to me auite inconsistent with our condem nation of those who thus took her life to retain in our own system of mill tary justice those provisions of law which were relied upon Dy tne uer man military authorities in ordering her execution suits the goverriment can show in tbe 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 to their demand for higher wages should be accepted pending the out- comie 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- idering the same problem.

No announcement was made on be half of the president and Mr. Gomp ers and the union officials who ac companied him, including representa tives of the steel workers, steadfastly refused to discuss what had transpired. It was known, however ,that the president was asked to intervene in in the near future a conference of representatives of labor and industry "to discuss fundamental means of bet tering the whole relationship of capfc tal and labor and putting the whole question of wages upon another foot ing." The President said he was encour aged and pleased with the results thus far of the government's efforts to bring down the cost of living and expressed confidence that substantial results would be accomplished in the solving of the problem.
