RAILROAD WALK0UT
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Oct. 3.-Negotiations be-
tween the government and labor rep
resentatives other than railwaymen
were resumed today in an effort to
bring the authorities and the railway
representatives together for settle

thronged Downing street this morning.
At an early hour a conference took
place on the government side.
The National Union of Railway Men

Ing message to the people signed by
Secretary Thomas, to be shown on the
screens of all motion picture houses
throughout the kingdom.
The railway men are not fighting
the community. l have always done
my best to avoid strikes. I did on
this occasion. But those who wanted
to fight labor rendered my efforts in
effectual. We are fighting for the low
est paid wage earners against con-
spiracy to lower wages. If the wages
of the railway men are reduced other
trades will follow. This is only the
first battle in the campaign and the
government has thrown all it's weight
against the men.

g all fought to free England. The
ralIway men played their part in the
struggle. We were promised an Eng
land worthy Of our sacrifices. 1t is
your fight as we'll as ours to obtain it.
We want your help"
Except in the west of Scotland and
in South Wales the sitnaeion In the
provinces arising from the railway
strike is not very bad. The situation
at Manchester, Liverpool and Birming-
ham is not yet serious.
c. T. Cramp, president of the Ma

shortly after 10 o'clock this morning,
that the situation relative to the rail
road strike was still unsolved. He
said reports were arriving at head
quarters here from all districts show

SENATE DISCUSSES
RESULT OF FALLS
AMENDMENT DEFEAT
BN Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3-Haying
disposed of all except one of the Fall
amendments to the peace treaty by
ma jority of negative votes, the Sen
ate was prepared today to take up
other features of the pact.
The future course of the Senate in
its consideration of the treaty with
it's league of nations covenant was
undecided early today but it was eX-
pected that leaders would soon agree
on a program to be carried out in the
effort to speed up action.
There remained today the enacted
on amendment proposed by Senator
Fall, Rep, New Mexico, to limit
American representation to the repa-
rations commissions, six amendments
to the league covenant and two minor
amendments.
The vote on the Fall amendments.
all of which were rejected by majori-
ties ranging from Is to % votes still
continued today to be interpreted in
varying lights.
Treaty supporters considered the
vote a distinct victory for their forces
while leaders of the opposition said
the results of the roll calls could only
be looked on as victory for them
inasmuch as the votes of treaty op-
ponents as registered on the roll calls
together with absentees Of the same
opinion guaranteed sufficient votes
to bring about the treaty's defeat un-
less reservations are accepted.
Whatever the course decided on,
much debate is expected. Senators
Jones. Republican, Wash, and Thorn
as, Dem, Colorado, were expected to
speak today.

million workers, will not participate

pate.

ratification Of the treaty of peace
with Germany, who have boasted
openly in the chamber of deputies for
weeks past that they were able to
line up 100 votes against the pact,

Foremost in ranks of the minority
were Marcel Cachin, Jean Longuet,
Alier Brizon, M. Maysras, and M. Raj
fin-Dugens, extremist socialists and
M. Sembat, who heretofore was re-
garded as a moderate. Several depu-
ties who were considered as being
certain to be against the treaty, fall
tered at the last moment and declined
to assume the responsibility OF the
eve of the coming elections.

Tighe repeated the charge that the
