Tt will include conservatives and liberals. Stanley Baldwin, conserva- tive leader, and liberals who have taken over active management of their party during the illness of David Lloyd George, agreed at Buck- ingham Palace in the presence of the king to participate in a cabinet, in which Baldwin will serve under MacDonald. This arrangement has its precedent in the Coalition government of 1916, formed to create national unity in waging the war. The new cabinet also has a war of so::s on its hands.

MacDonald's government came into office on June 9, 1929, and for nearly two and one-half years struggled with national and world problems whose gravity was increased by the general economic depression. The present crisis developed \two/ weeks ago with the report by the gov- ernment economy committee calling attention to the urgent necessity of balancing the budget in the face of a threatened deficit of $600,000,000. For two weeks the cabinet has been in emergency session debating meas- ures which would wipe off that deficit, but opposition to measures which it evolved culminated in MacDonald's The Trades Union congress, back- bone of the labor movement, inter- posed objections and there developed a split in the cabinet. In the new governmertt, which prob- ably will not hold office beyond next January 1, the ministers of the retir- ing cabinet who supported the prime minister probably will have portfolios. ‘Those who opposed him may fight the program of the national govern- ment in parliament, but from present indications they. are not likely to have MacDonald's plan is to form a small national cabinet of 12 or 14 ministers instead of the usual 20. The retiring labor cabinet had 21 members. The smaller group will be more wieldy for quick action. Le “T shall be in the new government,’ said J. H.

J. low board members. Mrs. Holmes asked for an injunc- tion to temporarily restrain the ma- jority of the board from fulfilling contracts for the transportation of school children, awarded by it early in August. Judge Fred Jansonius deferred his ruling on the matter, and granted counsel for Mrs. Holmes three days; to prepare facts to sustain his con- tention that there was corruption in letting the contracts, Speaking from the bench, Judge Jansonius said that, under the law, members of a school board are given discretionary powers and are per- mitted to let contracts to the lowest responsible bidder and that it was within their rights to determine who that bidder was. Only in cases where fraud can be shown has the court any right to interfere in the action of @ school board, he said. Besides Mrs. Holmes there were several other complainants whose bids had been rejected. ‘The plaintiffs allege that the two members of the board acted in bad faith when. they awarded con*-acts to, relatives, whose bids were higher than those submitted. by other. re- ‘8 sponsible persons. Counsel for the defendants con- tended that their clients were exer- cising discretionary powers invested in them by law when they made the contract awards and were perfectly j within their rights.
