Drastic Campaign
For Economy Is
Begun i'm Britain
Government Order TO Cut
All Bureau Expenditures
20 Per Cent Held To Pre-.
sage General Election
From The Tribune's European Burccu
Copyrinht. 1921. New York TNrihur,s Inr


LONDON, May 25.-The government
to-day began drastic economy cam
palgn which is accepted by many as
another step toward a general election
next autumn In an ultimatum sent
to all government departments the
Treasury demands 20 per cent reduc-
ton in ordinary expenditures fo1
1873, estimates for which must be
submitted before the end of July.
The total reduction asked amounts
to S440,0000o0 and the letter insists
that the ak must fall ruthlessly. 1t is
even hinted that an appeal will be
made 70 Parliament if the depart
mental estimates are not pruned suf-
ficiently.
The new economy move is based on
the theory that the nations total rev.
enue for the coming fiscal year will not
exceed $3.50, 900, while estimated
expenses would exceed that figure by
the amount which the Treasury now
insists the country must save.
Reduction of the floating debt and
the. payment of interest on foreign
obligations, including the American
loans. II. is said, will reach a figure
making the present scale of administra-
tive expenses impossible
Declaring its decision neither to bor-
row more nor to impose additional tax
tseAO44 iOSl4Ss (u0 treasury is
that retrenchment is the only way out.
The letter reads:
w hat is required in order to main
tain and stimulate industry and com
merce and TO secure full and regular
employment in the country is the re-
ducton of taxation and the burden Of
the states Indebtedness as rapidly as
posslble--a process which can only be
achleved through the continuous re-
ductton OF expenditure in the next few
years"
An economy move similar to this was
forecast some months ago by certain
newspapers here, which declared that
it would be the basis of an appeal to
the country by Premier LLOYD George.
Whether or not this campaign is the
background Of such an appeal. re-
trenchment is absolutely in line with
The policy to which Lloyd George has
turned-the reorganization of British
trade ard industry.
The determined efforts being made
TO settle the coal miners strike and
the indicated desire of the British to
get Germany on her feet again indus
trielly have been logical forerunners Of
the economy campaign.
LONDON, May 25 (By The Associ.
ated Press).-In the treasury circular
calling for retrenchment the necessity
to provide for interest on Great Brit
aims debt to the United States is es-
peclally referred to.

Test Case Instituted by New
Commission TO Compel
Comptroller to Pay $50
Workers Months Salary
Writ Returnable Friday
Inspector Charges Craig
Has Refused to Honor Or
ders for Money Due Him

mandamus proceeding to determine
whether Comptroller Charles L. Craig
had right to refuse to pay the $50
employees of the new Transit Com
mission. who were formerly employed
by the old Public Service Commission
and who have received no salary since
April 25, was instituted in the Supreme
Court yesterday. The action was be-
gun In the name of one of the en-
ployees of the Transit Commission by
Godfrey Goldmark, counsel for the com
mission in the city's injunction suit.
Mr.. Goldmark obtained an order
from Justice Tierney directing Comp
troller Craig to show cause why a writ
Of mandamus should not be issued to
compel him to pay the salary Of Frank
Bennett, one of the commissions transit
inspectors. In the papers presented to
Justice Tierney Mr.. Bennett said that
the Comptroller had refused to honor
the pay rolls OF the Transit Commits
sion, although funds which had been
appropriated for the use Of former
Transit Construction Commissioners De-
laney were unexpended and available.
Mr.. Bennett pointed out in his affidavit
that he and his family were dependent
upon his salary for their livelihood and
that the immediate payment thereof
was necessary and essential for their
support.
1t is expected that the Bennett case
will be a test case for the remainder
o. the employees transferred from the
old Public Service Commission. JUS
tice Tierney's order is returnable to-
morrow morning before Justice Whita-
ker in Special Term, Part |, Supreme
Court
Corporation Counsel John P. o'Brien
said last night that he had not yet
been served with the papers.
But l hope" said Mr.. O'Brien, Chat
counsel for the Transit Commission
will join in case to try out the
merits of the whole question. No one
IS going TO make rapid headway by
stopping to try out collateral issues.
We want case that won't be stopped
at the Appellate Division but will go
to the Court of Appeals if either side
wishes to take it there. and. further,
to the United States Supreme Court if
necessary. The city desires to join in
a tnal determination of all the issues
as speedily a s possible
Justice McAyoy recently denied the
application Of the city for an injunc-
t!on restraining the Transit Commits
sion from functioning pending the trial
OF the case to determine the constitu-
tionality of the act creating the new
commission. Counsel for the commits
sion served notice on the Corporation
Counsel Tuesday that the case had
been put on the calendar of the Su-
preme Court COR trial on June 6.
