By C. S. HILL. Associate ' Editor, "Engineering News Record." Roadbuildlng Is now the largest single task before the construction Industry ot the United States. Unless the leaders of this Industry ss well aa ths rank and file of contractors who have for the most part, and also most capably per formed the lesser tasks of receding road programs, shall array themselves with federal stats and community officials to advance this task, Its accomplishment will be retarded. How large construction organizations regard road construction as an opportunity for employment Is, there fore, a question of vital importance. Ths answer, as It appears after careful In quiry and conferences with directors ot such organizations, Is presented In the article and discussion which follow. Editor. To expedite the enormous pro- . .. gram ot construction wnicn con fronts them, public road officials need to enlist the services of large oreanizations which heretofore have perceived nothing that offerer profitable occupation of their re sources in the small, isolated, con tract method of doing road work. A favorable conjunction of circum stances has placed these contracts for a time at the call of road offi cials. Large hydraulic develop mentst and heavy railway, bridge and foundattion work have been stopped. Until they start again, contractors who have looked to them for employment will turn to road work. It depends upon the acumen of road officials whether they continue in road work. Can didly, the likelihood that they will is not too promising. Road Work Temporary. Large contracting organizations cannot be permitted interested iii'rOad construction, unless they can be assured contracts of suffi cient magnitude to command their lull resources, and unless they be accorded the broadminded con sideration in road work to which they have been accustomed in work tor private- corporations. vvuu these inducements lacking, those large contractors who have for the moment exhibited an interest in road construction will withdraw to their old lines of enterprise as soon as bridge, railway, foundation work and kindred of heavy construction resume their ore-war activity. Little has been done anywhere, toward defining the new conditions which mast be created in business relationship between contractors and highway officials. Diplomacy and. oerhaos. to some extent, deiv cacv. have kept contractors from speaking frankly. Contractors who have grown great through successful construc tion foe private industries are con sidered and treated by those inter ests as experts in construction and as men of affairs. The master-and- servant relationship has disappeared and in its place has grown some thing akin to the relationship of partners in a mutual enterprise. A certain flexibility is tacitly recog nized factor of any formal agree ment into which owner and contrac tor may enter. Cognizance is given bv both to possibilities which may readily arise and which may change the complexion of an agreement, and both stand prepared to concede modifications in prices and require ments where they are demanded by fair dealing and mutual justice. Honesty of intention is conceded by both parties to the agreement, and meticibus prescriptions to pre vent either from overreaching the other are largely discarded. These statements do not picture an imaginary relationship; it exists in its fullest measure between many well known contractors and their clients. All unusually successful contractors enjoy this relationship in great measure. That they do, and that the advantage is real, is evi denced by the fact that these con tractors will generally bid lower on private than they will on public work. Stress is laid on this relationship between the large construction or ganization and its private-work cli ents, because it has an important bearing on the task of enlisting the service of these organizations m the road-construction industry. They are not greatly attracted by the op portunity as they appraise it. some of the reasons, as given by contrac tors, can be briefed as follows: Road constructions has brought too many hardships upon contract ing in the past few years. It has been directed with too little active sympathy with the contractor's dif ficulties. Too ereat willingness has been shown to take advantage, at the ex pense of the .contractor, of a rising price and wage market. The practice of calling for bids merely to try out the market, with no intention of awarding contracts, is too common. There is too common neglect to state them when limiting prices wi'i rule. Too great stress has been laid upon possibilities of dishonesty. Bludgeon clauses are too many in road specifications. Low prices often overshadow contracting ex perience and financial ability. Too many road departments fiave attained reputation" for "break ing" contractors. FATHER HERE -NOV! BABY NU1T CIVS UNCLE fllt HAT- proved by example. There are too many to permit full elaboration of each, but) it is worth while to con sider a few and show how the large contracting organization, whose en try into road construction is being considered, is reacting to their in fluence. Bludgeon clauses are perhaps no more common in road specifications than they are in the specifications for other public works, but they are frequent. That such a meaning of these clauses is intended will be denied. Consider, however, this clause: "Portions of the pavement showing voids in the concrete after finishing and removal of the side forms shall be rejected." Beyond doubt the engineers who wrote this clause intend, a fair and reasonable judgment on porous spots in the pavement edge. What, however, was the practical effect of the clause on the large construction organizations which bid on this specification? One firm did this: It assumed that existence of a porous spot entailed the removal of a day's run and made its estimates in accordance with this assumption. More broad ly, the effect is this: Contractors who have built up a great business by honest workmanship, and who are accustomed to have their hon esty conceded by managers of large enterprises, resent such clauses as ndicative of an assumed necessity to prevent cheating, and regard them as convenient weapons in the hands of engineers and inspectors for holding up the work and im posing needless penalties. Lowest-Price Slavery. Another reason why the large contracting organization , regards road-work with indifference when other work is to be had is that price has too great weight with the public roads official. If any bid der's price is right and his bonds are unquestionable, he obtains the work, no mater how unfavorable he may compare with the large organ ization in reliability" equipment, re sources and all else which ordinar ily are held to be assurance of a successful business transaction. No doubt, the road official is largely the slave of the law in this matter, but this does not alter the facts nor their effect on the large contractor. He demands a fair profit for his work, because he expects to put all his resources behind his price , that the purchaser shall get what he has asked for in quality and speed of construction. This guarantee he con siders worth paying for, and he has small patience with the kind of client who shops about for the low est bidder and trusts to the security of his legal hold on the bidder to obtain acceptable work. It is, perhaps, not a generous thought, but the large contractor wonders if the road official is not just now inquiring whether, in some way, he cannot unload his own bur den of rising prices on the contrac tor. A great many road projects for which the people have appropriated money were predicated on pre-war prices. Now the road officials find that they cannot deliver the mile , K H A 9 rr -v. 7 I I Vr .

Their attacks on the price levels of materials have failed to obtain reductions. Shopping about for low bids is a possible way out of the dilemma in which they have been involved. Contractors are free to impute to the road of ficial this disposition to shift his burden, and the thought does not add inducement to road contracting as an opportunity for the large con struction organization to extend its business. Requires Big Outlay. Large construction firms, when they make bids, demand reasonable assurance that it has been definitely decided to award contracts and to award them promptly. An occur rence of recent date illustrates what happens too often. Bids were called for and received on a job amounting to about $150,000. A well known, large company was the low bidder and expected the award of the work. Later it was learned that the deci sion to proceed with the improve ment had not been definite, and, when the prices were seen, the road officials concluded that they "would not go ahead at present." In other cases limiting prices are determined but are not published in advance. The reaction of large construction companies to experiences of this kind is fairly indicated by one which asserted that it was "becoming dis gusted with the whole road game." Most of the large construction companies which contemplate em barking on road construction expect to equip themselves on a large scale. A season's work will not pay them for the investment which they con template; they must see ahead a number of years of activity. To be specific, one large organization in estimating for a recent letting fig ured upon spreading its original plant outlay over five years. It could not otherwise have named a price which would have had a chance of being accepted. Contractors who plan in this farsighted manner are the kind wanted in road contracting, but thev franklv assert that they find little encouragement in the at titude of road officials, for their broad planning road construction plant is a special plant. Few of its units are stock equipment of the general contractor who does rail road or heavy industrial work. He must see the opportunity for con tinuous, profitable road contracting, or he cannot afford to invest in the special plant required. Officials Must Change. Demonstration need not be car ried further. If highway officials wish to enlist large general con tractors in road construction, they can do so. Lacking normal outlets for action, these contractors are seeking opportunities in road con struction. They will, for th'e mo ment, submit to the handicaps of road -contracting. But if the road officials wish to retain these large organizations among the contractors at his command in prosecuting his large construction program, he must clear away the indictment which they have drawn against his methods. Let us be clear at this point. These large construction companies are not supplicating the road official to change his methods in their behalf. Indeed, they are, personally, very little concerned about his reform. Until he reforms, however, they shun extensive busi ness transactions with him. Suspected anxiety on the part of large contracting organizations to embark in road construction cannot be capitalized by road officials. There is not such anxiety. These organizations regard road construe- l O rr---r- i -j .ew ENGRAVINGS We employ a force of ex perienced and capable en gravers and artists who are accustomed to handling cuts for any form of advertising, from a post card to a cata logue.

LOOK BAQX.' HERE ! A NICE NEW DOLLAR FOR YOO- FIGHTERS WORK HARD SUNDAY FOR BJGJATTLE Throngs of Spectators View Willard and Dempsey Go Several Fast Rounds With Their Sparring Partners. Toledo, June 29. Training before throngs of spectators which crowd ed their enclosures to capacity. Willard and Dempsey put in an ac tive afternoon in preparation for their championship battle. The title holder performed in a more impres sive manner than has been the case during the past few days. He boxed five three-rainute and one two-minute rounds with his sparring part ners, Monahan and Hempel. Against Hempel, Willard showed flashes of speedy footwork and duck ing which recalled the days when he was training for Johnson. In addi tion to his snappy left jab, he used a right swing and uppercut repeated ly and several times had Hempel unsteady on his feet. The real work out came when he faced Monahan, who opened a cut over Willard's left eye in the first round and drew blood from the champion's lips in the sec ond. The sight of blood on Wil lard's face brought a gasp from the gathering, but an examination showeed the cut was supeerficial and the bleeding was quickly stopped. Dempsey boxed six rounds, taking on his sparring partners, laie, Ja maica Kid and Jock Malone a round at a time in rotation. Against Tate he devoted much of his attack to the negro's body and landed some hard smashes. Speed had the call when Dempsey faced Malone and the pair boxed and slugged like lightweights. Martin Delaney of the Chicago Ath letic association considered for many years an excellent judge of athletes was surprised at Willard's condition. Delaney examined the champion be fore he boxed and after he had left the ring. "He certainly looks good to me," Delaney said. tion merely as a possible but doubt ful field. On the other hand, in ths opinion of the contractors inter viewed' the road official can pro ceed with success toward enlisting these organizations in road con struction if he will: (1) decide defin itely before bids are asked that con tracts are to be awarded, and then make awards promptly; (2) give weight to the contractor's resources and reputation for efficient work, in stead of letting low price control; (3) adopt the practice of private in dustries in dealing with the con tractor on a fair-price, good con struction basis, and (4) eradicate the practice of binding the contractor to honesty with meticulous, punitive restrictions, readily capable of being used unfairly against the contractor.

Cahill's contract was not filed until last Saturday. The Dorcas 8treet Stars won an Inter esting game from the Omaha Taxi, for merly the Liberty Bells, by a 6 to 4 score. Jackson, on the mound for the Stars, pitched great ball, allowing seven hits and whiffing fifteen. The Omaha Bee was given a forfeit game from the Siogrs Juniors. In division 3, the Rivervlew Cubs went a notch higher by beating the Krug Park Sluggers, 25 to 2, while the Meyers Bear cats still have a 1000 per cent by winning a forfeit over the Vinton Cubs. The Wal nut Hill Merchants took a 14 to 13 game from the Deer Park Ramblers, although the latter team has protested the affair. In the ninth round, with two on and one out, the Ramblers changed their batting order, sending in a star hitter.

The Armours defeated the Chi cago Union Giants in both ends ot a double header at Rourke park yesterday before the largest crowd of the season. Graves opposed Burch in the first game. The old Warrier Graves had a shade th better of it and held his opponent! safe until the last two innings when he allowed four scores. Hard hit ting by Ryan J. Collins, M.

While great fielding was done by Al Graves, Williams, Corcoran, Ryan and Reed for the Armours and Bingham, Coleman and Burch for the visitors. Second Game Close. . The second game was bitterly fought throughout .and early de veloped into a pitchers battle be tween Otto Merz the ex-Rourko star and Slim Curry the Giants' star.
