NO EVIDENCE FOUND OF INCENDIARISM IN
 FIRE WHICH LOST THE SUPPLIES T o ALLIES
tcontinued from Page One,

and proprietors of stores in the sec tion of the business district swept by fire early today indicated that the loss would be approximately $2,o00,000.
 A score of buildings, including an apart ment hotel and several of the largest retail stores, were destroyed and many others were badly damaged. There was no loss of life and no one was injured.
 A determined stand made by the fire- men in the rear of long line of burning buildings kept the flames from spread ing to a congested tenement house dis trict Frightened tenement dwellers fled to the snow-covered streets with little clothing.
 Police and firemen early in the day were unable to put forward any theory as to the origin of the fire. It started in the basement of the four-story brick building at the corner of South Main and Spring streets, occupied by the de- partment store of Steiger company. The night watchman, Michael ORourixe, said today that when he made his last round shortly before midnight he saw no sign of fire few minutes later, when he was on an upper floor, he heard a noise which sounded like a slight explosion. He hurried downstairs and found the basement filled with smoke.
 When the fire apparatus arrived the
 
 few minutes the fire had spread to ad- joining buildings and had jumped across South Main street. Help was then called from New Bedford. Taunton and New port, R. l.
 WALL CHECKS FLAME
 Before the out-of-town engines arrived the flames had made such a start that 1t was impossible to stop their progress southward along South Main street until they had reached Columbia street. There the Edward building, with double fire wall, served as an effective check, and, by flooding the building and adjoining property the firemen got the upper hand of the conflagration.
 At the north end of the burning dis trict water curtain on the department store of R. A. McWhorr & Co prevented further spread. The granite walls of St. Mary's cathedral protected resi- dental district nearby. The Lenox hotel, diagonally across the street from the Steiger store. was one of the first buildings to suffer- The guests were hastily aroused and made their way out by fire escapes and doors
 in the rear The front of the hotel was l then in flames.
 | Throughout the progress of the fire drug stores, restaurants and churches were thrown open for the relief of fire men and police and people driven from their homes. Coffee and sandwiches were distributed. The guests at the Lenox hotel were given shelter in private residences.
 | The heaviest individual loss was sui fered by the Steiger company. Members of the firm estimated it at $5o0OOO on building and stock.

TO ADJUST DIFFERENCES
AT ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL
Secretary Baker Confers With Secre-
tary Wilson Regarding Phase Of
Labor Controversy.

With a view to the settlement of the
labor controversy at the military ar
senal at Rock Island, I'LL. Secretary
Baker has asked Secretary of Labor
Wilson, for an opinion as to whether
the work performed in machine
shops in the three cities in the imme-
dfate vicinity of the Rock Island ar
senal are comparable with the work
done In the arsenal. within the meaning
of the law requiring equality in wages
for similar work in private establish
ments in the vicinity. 1t is declared
that the wages paid at the arsenal are
the same as those for similar work
in the cities referred to, are higher
than the wages paid In cities farther
away, and less than wages paid in
Chicago still farther away.
The labor leaders want to have wages
at the Rock Island arsenal regulated
by the wages paid in Chicago, on the
alleged ground that the work done in
the cities near the arsenal Is not com
parable with the work done In that
establishment. The action OF the War
Department will depend on the report
received from the Secretary Of Labor.
