Arbitration To Be First
Subject for Labor Parley

WASHINGTON, Dec. Establishment
and Arbitration" will be the first subject
considered by the second industrial con-
ference.
After exhaustive discussion to~dav of
the recommendation made yesterday by
president Wilson in his message to Con-
gress and tentative program prepared
by herbert c. Hoover, chairman,
With the assistance of other delegates,
the conference decided that means for
peaceable settlement Of industrial dis
nutes should head the list of work to be
done. The subject will have numerous
divisions. including establishment of per
manent tribunals to maintain Industrial
peace, all of which will be studied from
every angle before the final report is
ready.
1t became evident from tho work
started to-day that the conference will
require several weeks, at least, to COM
plete the enormous task mapped out.
The part of the program already
adopted was said to contain the most
pressing subjects of the present situa-
ton, including collective bargaining,
hours of labor and wages. President
Wilson's message to Congress was an
alyzed by the delegates for subjects to
be discussed and each was given place
along with the subjects proposed by Mr.
Hoover The delegates then debated
how far they should go in studying each
subject and selecting those on which ex-
pert advice and written data were de-
sired.

No Convict Plot to Burn
Sing Sing, Says Rattigan
Investigation Discloses Cigarette
Caused One and Others Due
to Spontaneous Combustion

Charles Rattigan, state superintend-
ent of prisons. conducted an inyestiga-
tion at Sing Sing yesterday into the
causes Of three fires there within a
period Of less thanetwo weeks. After
he had talked with prison employees
and twelve convicts he declared he was
convinced the fires were not of in
cendiary origin. He said he was posi-
burn the prison. A cigarette butt
caused one Of the fires, he said, and
the others were due to spontaneous
combustion
Mr.. Rattigan was assisted in his in
vestigation by his confidential clerk,
William A. McCabe, and Daniel j.
Grant, superintendent of industries at
Auburn prison. Irant and McCabo
will remain at Sing Sing until new
warden is appointed to succeed Mr..
Brophy.
The first of the three fires, Novem-
ber 20, was in a lavator,. Mr.. Rattigan
said it was caused by a lighted cigar
cite. The second, \on November 21,
started in prison warehouse. Mr..
Rattigan said he believed that spon-
taneous combustion was responsible
for this fire. A third fire was last
Monday night. Painters and decora-
ors had been at work in the Office of
the Mutual Welfare League and had
left oil-soakcd rags on the floor.
1T is great injustice to the inmates
Of the prison. Mr. Rattigan said, ito
blame these fires on a convict plot.
There wasn't any convict plot"
