At t ha same time the' Southern, Pa

on all Harriman railroad construction
In Oregon th ' company paid its con
tractors only for - the current month'
labor tills. It Is said this was done
n order to prevent labor liens from
being filed on the grades and rights of
wav. The contractors are holdinr the
bag for ail expense of Installation and
equipment ana provisioning or camps.
It Is said these contractors had bought
ery heavlly on the-market at the open
ing of the. packing season and harvest
time, and they are placed in embarrass
ing positions with their creditors.
it costs from S30.000 to $40,000 a
month to run . a full-fledged railroad
construction contract of the else that
was 'operated on Oregon construction
last. season. , There is hardly a contract
ing .firm in the west that can carry
the enormous expense of equipment and
provisioning and the operation of a
camp for 10 or 60 days without the
backing of the railroad treasury.
In former years railroad construction
contracts contatned a provision that the
railroad company -management could
..v.,'
give 10 days' notice of suspension of
work and at the expiration of such no
tlca the company could withdraw from
the, project by paying Xor work dona to
that date. -. -
Th contracts that were entered into
In Oregon last year by contractors con
tained no clause . covering this point,
but were left wide open.- It Is assumed
that: tha Harriman companies psatolvely
admit their liability for damages to con
tractors by reason o'f the latter' ex
pense - in equipping ' ana provisioning
winter camps, and that the railroad peo
ple are taking their own time and
counting the cost of payment of all
damage - arising from suspension of
work. (,; j
, . , Polio of Walt.
Tha contractors, fearing to appeal to
the courts, for relief, lest they lose the
contract nd thus be left exposed to
long litigation to recover damages, are
keeping quiet and biaing their time as
best ' they may. They nave explained
the situation to tha wholesalers and
others to whom they owe money,' and
everybody concerned la wattlna. but not
altogether patiently; to see what Mr.
Harriman Is going to do.
Inquiries made at the ofrice or tne
chief engineer elicited the reply that
"th railroad company has paid all eon
tractors, what Is due them under their
contracts." While technically thla Is
admitted by the contractors to be a cor
rect statement for the immediate pres
ent thev amDhatlcally state that a treat
deal more money will be due them when
It 1 considered that mey nave gone to
enormous expense to place tnemseives
In position to perform the work that
has been postponed or abandoned by th
Harriman companies.
. Baiter work Will Be Beswnad.
rt la still believed that the intention
of 'the Harriman railroad management
Is to proceed with the various construc
tion projects that were started In Ore
gon last season; But In no quarter can
the slightest intimation be securod aa
to when resumDtlon will take place.
The atralghtentng of tha main
Una between Portland and Cascade
Locks, beaun last year ny tne racino
Coast Construction company, is about
two thirds completed. It was to havo
nat tsoo.ono. Alii the canriDS are idle,
but are being maintained, tuny pro
visioned for the entire winter season.
Tha Haaveiton-wnisbura line, esti
mated to cost 1100,000, not Including
Oswego bridge, la only started, about
7.000 vara a or araae oeine; auno wnen
the suspension orders were received.
The camps were fully provisioned in
October when, the work was begun. The
contractors were forced to put In tb.e
entire winter's provisions In view of the
Impossibility or transporting tnem
overland after the roads should become
Impassable.
Th Tillamook road, contracted by
the Portland Bridge company and Rob
ert Wakeflfild, was forced to adopt the
same policy owing" to the- remoteness
of the camp from markets.
Erlckson A Peterson, who butlt the
Riparia-Lewiston line, had this work
nearly completed when the suspension
order came. They secured almost a
full settlement from the Harriman com
pany, and this placed them in good posi
tion to stand suspension of work on the
Elsrin extension, which is also awaiting
orders to resume construction of the
road to Joseph. -
