GOODBYE, DAM WORK
A Movement is Now Oh Foot by the
Contractors to Block Work on the
Ohio River Dams During the
War Period.

Work on the improvement OF the
Ohio River may be stopped for the
period of the war on the ground that
it is not of a war emergency charac-
ter. This possibly doomed up at
Washington when a delegation of con-
tractors who are engaged on Ohio
River dam construction appeared be-
fore the Senate Committee on Com
merce to present an urgent plea for
relief.
The contractors said the contracts
for dams were let when the United
States was at peace and under normal
peace conditions. At that time labor
could be had at reasonable wage,
and the price of materials had not
risen to the zenith. They represented
that, owing to the excessive burdens
due to the increased price of labor
and lumber and other materials, they
were bound to suffer losses which will
drive some of them to the wall.
Request was made by the contrac-
tors that some sort of provision be
inserted in the rivers and harbOrs bill
which will authorize the Secretary OF
= War and Board of Army Engineers &c
investigate and ascertain what meas
ure of relief should be extended them
and that Congress provide this relief
The Spokesman for the contractors
were p. e. Hunter, President of the
Independent Construction Company
Pittsburg; John r. Macarthur, of Nc
Arthur Brothers, New York, and Mr.
Rogers, of Bates & Rogers Company
another large firm engaged on the
dam.
Colonel Henry Newcomer, Army
Engineers Corps, said that undoubted-
ly the contractors are entitled to re-
lief. 1t was brought out that the
amount OF the increase as aHectlne
the Ohio River dams under construc-
ton probably would reach 100000.
There developed sentiment in the
Commerce Committees in favor OF
suspending the work on practically
all the Ohio River dams until after
the war
The objection to granting the re-
lief requested by these contractors
was that every other contractor en-
gagged on any kind of Government
work would have the same claim for
relief, and the cost would be enor-
nous.
