INQUIRY ORDERED
OF OIL BLAST, FIRE
KILLING II WORKMEN

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 15-Investi-
cation Of the explosion and fire yes
terday at the Point Breeze plant of
the Atlantic refining company which
resulted in the death of II workmen
and the injury of score of others,
was ordered today by Director Cor
telyou, of the department of public
safety Several of the injured are
in a serious condition and additional
deaths are expected momentarily by
hospital physicians.
1t was the second serious fire at the
plant within a month. In the first blaze
five persons lost their lives and dam
age to property was estimated at
S1,500,000 The financial loss yester-
day was comparatively small.
Yesterdays fire is believed by Of
ficials of the company to have been
caused by loose connection in one
of the tubes leading from a naptha
still to nearby vat. The hot oil from
this, it was said, came in contact with
the flames from the furnaces beneath
the stills and resulted in the explosion.
Explains Procedure
There were Is stills each equipped
with furnace for the heating of the
oil from which is taken the naptha,' .
said Edwin B. Cox, assistant treasurer
A connection in one of these stills
through which the distilled fluid was
passing. parted for some reason that
has not been determined. This caused
the fluid to run out in such way that
some if it reached the furnace at the
bottom of the structure, and the ex-
plosion followed. About 80 men were
employed at the time operating the
stills. Those on the upper levels were
caught in the tongues of flames and
many of them had little chance
Men on lower levels or at the other
stills had some chance, despite the in
tense heat and doubtless some Of them
might have escaped with less injury
of they had fled instantly instead of
standing courageously by their posts
in an effort to do what they could to
save others"
Only one of the stills was destroyed.

prime minister that the Sim Fein

troublesome factors in the present ad

The prime minister was said to have

POLICY
TO COMBAT IDLENESS
GOVERNMENT PURPOSE
Hungry Russians outside the ter
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Sept 15-Inaugura-
ton of permanent policy to combat
unemployment throughout the coun-
try, in future years was said authorita-
lively today to be one of the purposes
of the administration in assembling
in Washington a national conference
on unemployment.
Primarily the organization is said to
be anxious to meet immediate unem-
ployment needs and avert any hard
ship from this source during the COM
ing winter, but beyond the remedy of
the moment it was asserted the adj
ministration would look to the confer
ence to develop constructive pro
gram which could be followed in the
succeeding years.
Data Prepared
Comprehensive statistical data, 1t
was said, covering all phases of the
problem is understood to have been
prepared for the use of the conference
by economic experts. This data it
was said would give the latest authori-
tative information on the causes,
places and times of unemployment in
the country.
On the basis of these facts it is be
lieved the conference can take up
quickly the problems of seasonal
scarcity in the demand for labor, the
localities most in need of assistance
and the underlying reasons for the
variations in the numbers of workers.
Constructive and workable remedies
to meet the situation in the different
geographical divisions of the country
and the various industries would be
suggested by the conference after
studying the unemployment question
from all angles.
