Mayors Economy Plan to Meet
Determined O%pposition.

Mayor Mitchell and his advisers are
fully aware that the plan TO keep he
budget down by cutting out useless posi-
tons and educinS salaries Is not going
through without a determined light on
the part OF those who hold the positions
and dsJw the salaries. George l.. T1r-
rell. the director OF the bureau Of
standards referred to In the Mayors
statement. went before the budget sub
committee OF the Board of Estimate last
Friday to explain some OF the proposed
economies. lie heard directly from some
Of the men who would be affected.
Chief Clerk L'Alessandro OF the Board
OF C~oroners. for instance. protested Wig
orously when ne was informed that his
salary might be cut from $4,000 TO
s2.S5O a year. He suggested that Mr..
Tirrell ought TO begin with a reduction
Of his wi salary. which is still $4,000
"A year In spite OF the budget sub-com-
mittce's recommendation 20 the Aldermen
last; year that IL should be increased 20
$1,000.
Mr.. Tfrrcll explained that his bureau
had worked out a plan for certain grades
whereby salaries from $1,000 TO $500
! would I've cut 10 per cent and salaries
Of more than $500 would be cut Il
per cent.
Central Federated Union officials have
figured out hat about 10000 city ON
ployees will be affected by the PROPOSE
economies, and they intend TO ight tn,
, reductions. President James Il. Hollan,
| of the New York State Federation q
Labor suggested h n n general conven
ton OF organized labor be held TO op
pose the reductions, and the Contra
Federated Union o up the idea. rlini
for the convention are now being formu
lated.
The Mayors friends admit that hi
economy plans are going TO he a weapon

Although the commerce on the Red

on the Ouachita. a tributary OF he Red.

pended, and II Is proposed to spend an
other 1880. 900 for a traffic OF about
$4,000 tons a year. a poor days business
in many American rho
The Arkansas is similar to the Red
River. Nearly SO. 900. 900 has been laid
out on this project. In 1912 the traffic
amounted to 1900 tons, exclusive OF
floating logs.
The proposition TO improve the upper
| Tennessee River with locks and dams
will cost between $40, 900. 900 and 500
600. 900. Yet the traffic is continually
diminishing. In 1913 It was less n
1000, o tons, OF which about half war

The sum OF $685. o 900 proposed to
be spent on the Missouri River. $4,000

Eject Upon Government.

Speaking OF the possible effect OF the
war on popular government, Mr.. Burton
said
since the beginning OF this century
there have been the greatest steps In
history in the way of advances toward
democracy. Take the establishment OF
the Russian Duma. the Young Turks
movement, the republic In China then
on comes this war, and the result may
be a reaction toward absolute mon
archy.
There may be a wave OF feeling that
popular forms of government are mo-
capable of handling great military
problems, and II may be that prepared
ness for wac may be an answer. Per-
hans II we can show ourselves prepared
for war this danger would be lessened.
..These are all interesting questions.
I do not predict, ! merely mention
them As part OF the possibilities against
which we should be prepared"

Mr.. Burton was asked whether or no
he had given any thought TO the detail
OF preparedness. He replied that h
could not discuss them at present, bu
said he believed ono day 1t might b
