WORK ON FOUNDATION
OF MEMORIAL HALL
Steel Tubes Being Filled With
Concrete. Reinforced by
Vertical Rods.

The work OF filling the fifty-foot steel
tubes. each four feet in diameter. with
concrete for the foundation of the Lin
coin Memoria, began this week. and will
continue at a rapid rate until every
one of the 152 pilings is finished.
Each pier will contain nearly 100
vertical steel rods. and these will be
SUI .ounded by a steel spiral extending
the full length OF the piling. At each
place where the spiral and the vertical
rods cross they vii! be tied with steel
wire and the entire steel framework
will be imbedded in concrete. The
strength of the piling will be still
further increased by the steel tube
which surrounds the whole.
With the exception Of a large amount
of water. which is found at depth 3f
five feet. no real difficulties are being
encountered by the contractors. By
the aid Of wood cofferdam an excava-
ton is made to a depth of twelve feet
before the first section of tubing is
started After that the dirt is re-
moved by an orange peel bucket let
down inside OF the tube. At first i was
feared that quicksand or very soft mud
would be encountered al depth OF
thirty or forty feet. and this would
have necessitated sealing the tube and
working under a heavy air pressure TO
force back the earth. The last two feet
Of the tube are sunk in bed rock. the
hole being made by light blasting.

REPORTED IN HOUSE

Will Be Called Up for Con-
sideration Soon.

The Administration antitrust bill was
given favorable report by the House
Judiciary Committee today. and will he
called up at an early date by Chairman
Clayton. The bill. as it comes from the
committee is substantially the same as
that recently rcdrawn and made public
by the clayton subcommittee. The Sen
ate measure, presented yesterday is
PATTERNED after the House bill.
The bill embodies the Clayton anti
contempt and anti-injmCtion bill, which
passed the House last session. and it
also eXempts from the Sherman law
fraternal, labor. consumers and agTi-
cultural organizations carrying out
''their legitimate objects"
The bill prohibits interlockinS di-
rectorateS where they restrain trade,
makes the guilt of antitrust Law vio-
lators personal. forbids companies In
restraint of commerce, allows three
fold damages to persons injured by a
trust, directs that operators of mines
shall lselI mining products to all re-
sronsible applicants fos purchase. pro-
Eibits price. fixing by manufacturers
OF exclusive contracts with local rep
resentatives, and prohibits price dis
elimination with the intent to destroy
or wrongfully injure a competitor.
Chairman Clayton. who was today
nominated rs a Federal judge in Ala
bama. probably will not resign from the
House until the trust bill Is passed.
