TORY OF SUIT FOR 100000 DAMAGES AGAINST SENATOR r. BYRD BY THE
VIRGINIA HIGHWAY CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION

In October, 1922. q large number OF
Virginia State Highway Contractors
who received from the State many
millions Of dollars, for constructing
the public highways, entered into q
combination among themselves and
got from the Virginia State Corpora.
ton Commission a charter which gave
this combination the legal status of a
Corporation known as the Virginia
Highway Contractors Association, In.
eorporated. This charter granted at
their request among other things the
power to:
promote better relations between
the Virginia State Highway, its
employees and representatives on
the one hand to support
contractors in efforts to rectify con-
ditions Of an unsatisfactory char
acter, to encourage those methods
OF contracting work which relieve
the contractors of improper risks,
to encourage sound business meth
DDS tending to raise the standing
of contractors, in the business
world and to assist the State of
virginia in building a compre-
hensiye system of roads through
out the State
Mr.. R. w. Wooiley, former member
OF the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and at that time resident of New
York City, was appointed Managing
Director of the combination. He was
paid large salary and the combina-
ton was financed by an entrance fee
OF each member contractor and a per-
centage of the contract money paid by
the State to each contractor.
When the combination of contractors
had organized themselves into a cor
poration amply financed, it Immediate
ly became obvious:
ID That it was to the interest of the
contractors to make all the profit they
could out OF the State on the one hand
and on the other hand 1t was to the
interest of the State to get its road
work done as economically as possible
% Such being the case, an amply
financed combination of contractors
given the legal power to promote good
relations between themselves and the
officers of the State Highway Commits
sion and to assist the State in building
It's roads, might well become a public
hanger and may lead to a system of
parcelling out road contracts and pre-
venting any real competition. 1t fol
cwed that the Highway Contractors

and was then and there served with
process in the 100000 damage suit.
1t was the hope of Woolley and the
officers of the Contractors Association
that by suing Senator Byrd away s1om
MS home and at a place presumably
friendly to them and where they main
aimed their office. that they would
gain great advantage.
Before the suit came up for trial the
legislature of Virginia, in response to
many petitions and realizing the public
LANCER of combination of Contractors
paid many millions Of dollars each
Jear by the State, enacted a law re-
luiring this and all other similar com
oinations to open their books and make
certain reports to the State. The Con
tractors Association refused to obey
this law and entered suit against the
Governor of Virginia and the Clerk OF
he House of Delegates, asking the
Circuit Court of the City Of Richmond
to declare the law void because the
State had no power to regulate or con-
troll a combination of State Highway
Contractors. The Judge denied their
claim and threw their case out of
court. Then Woolley resigned as Man
aging Director and left the State.
So intent was r. B. Airport, the Presi-
dent Of the Highway Contractors Asso-
citation, to punish Senator Byrd for
calling public attention to the great
danger of combination of the State
Highway Contractors that he publicly
threatened if the Highway Association
lost the suit that twenty members OF
The Association would sue Senator
Byrd for 100000 each or 100000 in
all.
The 100000 damage suit came up
hen in the Circuit Court and the Court
decided that Senator Byrd had a per
-ect legal right TO publish what he did
publish about the HigPSay Contract
ors Association and the Association
had no right to complain
Shortly after this decision, the State
Highway Contractors Association dis
banded and dissolved. President al
port did not carry out his threat to
sue Senator Byrd twenty times for
TWO Millions of dollars.
So came to an end the determined
fort of powerfully financed combina
ON of Highway Contractors to punish
nd coerce a member of the Virginia
enate for daring to do his duty by
people.
