Fleming would not agree to the
choosing of fair and impartial
third arbiter. He wanted a big
business man, tied up financially
with the street car companies, or
a federal judge.
Scanlon would not agree to this
under any consideration, espe-
cially after Fleming had had the
impudence to tell him:
"You, of course, will vote for
the men, and l shall vote for the
company, and so the third man
will really be the whole arbitra-
ton board"
Where Fleming got this idea of
his duty as an arbiter, heaven

Scanlon on his part suggested
Mayor Harrison, any judge of the
superior or circuit court, or
Judge Orrin N. Carter of the
state supreme court.
All of these suggestions Flem-
ing refused. He said that if there
were two judges on the board of
arbitration they might "be
swayed by professional bias"
Scanlon says he regards this as
an insult to the Chicago bench.
In regard to Mayor Harrison,
Fleming said that Harrison al
ready has taken stand on certain
of'the questions in dispute.
Judge Scanlon, in resigning,
said that he felt that Fleming's
unfair attitude made the continu-
ing of attempts at arbitration en-

Speculation as to the cause Of the

OF the explosion had not been deter
