(770 ILCS 70/4) (from Ch. 82, par. 504)
Sec. 4.
Subcontractor's Lien.
Any person who shall, under contract,
perform any labor or furnish any material or services as a subcontractor
under an original contractor or for or to an original contractor or a
subcontractor under an original contractor, shall be entitled to a lien
upon all the property upon which the lien of an original contractor may
attach to the same extent as an original contractor, and the lien provided
for in this Section shall further extend and attach to all materials and
fixtures owned by such original contractor or subcontractor to or for whom
the labor is performed or material or services furnished and used or
employed, or furnished to be used or employed in the drilling, completing
or operating of such oil or gas wells, or in the construction of such
pipeline. Upon the filing of a subcontractor's lien, the owner may
withhold payment to the original contractor in the amount claimed by the
lien until the debt on which the lien is based is settled or determined to
be not owed. The owner is not liable to the subcontractor for more than
the amount that the owner owes the original contractor when notice of the
lien is received by the owner.
