There was no real conflict in chapter one; The Sound of the Shell. Ralph and Jack were both contenders to be chief but the issue was settle by a vote, which Ralph won. The only other slight conflict was when Ralph chose Jack and Simon to accompany him on the expedition to climb the mountain. Piggy wanted to go to and Jack told him in no uncertain terms that he wasn't wanted.

JordanThere are two conflicts in Lord of the Flies.
Person Vs. Person
(Ralph Vs. Jack)
Person Vs. Society
(Piggy as an outcast Vs. Other boys) Alternative answer:The major conflict is between the rule of Law and Order as exemplified by the democratic process presided over by the elected leader Ralph and the alternative tribal hunting system run by self proclaimed chief Jack.
Right from the start jack reveals a deep dislike for Piggy. During the very first meeting when Piggy is asking the boys for their names Jack says, "Shut up fatty you talk too much." But when the fire is allowed to go out and they miss the possible chance of getting rescued Piggy says to Jack, "You didn't ought to have let that fire out, You said you'd keep the smoke going...." And Jack punches him in the stomach. Perhaps Piggy was right when he later told Ralph that Jack hated Ralph but he knew that Ralph would hit him back so he vented his anger on Piggy, who couldn't fight back.
Although hardly a 'conflict' there are two boys who both wish to be leader at the first meeting. Roger suggests a vote and Ralph is elected to be the chief. Ralph then appoints Jack to be in charge of the former choir and allows him to chose what their new role will be, which is hunters.
The conflict is between Ralph and Jack. Jack is putting food on top of getting rescued, while Ralph is building shelters and concerned with getting home. Both Ralph and Jack are surprised when the other doesn't agree with their points. Only the laughter from the pool is only just able to bring them back together.
