cement structure. Expansion joints were
set in the top Of the dam, sheets of tar
paper being suspended vertically across
the structure inside the steel molds when
the concrete was poured in. When this
paper rots out there will be a narrow
fissure, which will pull apart in hot
weather and close up in cold. Careful
experiments showed that these expansion
joints were necessary only for the sur
face work, as the concrete under water
would be but little affected by the change
in temperature.
The actual work of construction was
most difficult. The cofferdam biilt ahead
of the dam sections, was of cribs of logs,
filled in with rock and faced with a sea
Of puddled clay. The log work was done
by timberjacks from Canada, men who
were trained in the handling of heavy
logs in swift water. A raft the size OF
the crib would be made and f1oated out
to the place where the crib was to be
sunk. Then careful measurements were
made of the bottom of the river at that
place and the bottom Set of logs cut to

the use of the concrete comparatively

Bound by Common Interest.

THAT these roads are so bound together
by their common interest, by interlocling
directorates and by agreements of yari-
GUS kinds that they act as unit in con-
trolling the price of anthracite coal-the
kind people use in their kitchen stoves. .
Mr.. Murray says that since the price OF
anthracite coal is fixed high enough to
cover the costs of the company operat-
ing at the highest price, the companies
which own the thick beds of original coal
reap enormous profits.

ALLEGED COAL MONOPOLY
OBJECT OF HOUSE PROBE
Mr.. Murray Seeks to Learn Rela-
lions of Pennsylvania Rail-
roads to Mines.

Under the belief that the American
people are being numerically gouged
by the producers of hard coal, Repre-
sentative Murray Of Boston introduced
into the House today a resolution calling
upon the Department OF Commerce. the
Department Of Labor and the interstate
commerce commission to furnish certain
information regarding the leading rail-
roads in Pennsylvania and their owner
ship Of coal mines. Mr.. Murray said to-
day he, had already on hand facts which
he believes are sufficient to prove one
of the most complete monopolies Of a
necessity that ever existed.
Il have reason to believe" said Rep
resentative Murray, that there is now
on hand in the executive departments
enough data to show that more than sc
per cent of the available anthracite
the anthracite shipped each year is in
the control Of the seven railroad sys-
TENS which form the only means Of
Transporting the coal to the market.
