Barton here is the owner/publisher of the Daily Tattle. A series of fires in the slums prompt him to run a series of articles, demanding the city stop the fires but he also buys up the properties on the down low.
Mr. Murker, as it just so happens, is owner of said properties and many more beside. He's also the firebug. He's also working with Barton.
Naturally the Green Lantern gets involved and soon the crooks are exposed.
