NOT A BREAKDOWN

Today's failure to reach settlement cannot properly be described as a breakdown of negotiations, because there have been no actual negotiations so far as the government is concerned It is rather failure of efforts at me- diation between the National Union of Railway men and the government It is learned that Premier Lloyd George was in the conference room at Downing street on Wednesday night for only very few minutes-at the beginning and end of the conference.
 The remainder of the time was given to talk to the delegates themselves. Similarly today there has been only short interviews with the premier, who, however, discussed the situation at length with the transport workers dep- utation alone. These discussions have been conducted on friendly basis, the premier inviting his guests to tea.
 Robert Williams general secretary of the Transport Workers union, an- nounced tonight that he would seek an- other conference with the premier to- morrow, and there will be a meeting of the executives of the various unions irvol, d to consider future course of aetion

FRENCH CHAMBER RAT|F|ES TREATY;
 SENATE WILL ACT
 WITHIN FEW DAYS
Premier Present Through out Session-Vote in Favor of Military Conventions
 With U. s. and Great
 Britain Is Unanimous
By Associated Press

Paris, October 2.-Complete ratification of the Versailles peace treaty with Germany by both houses of the French par. lament is expected very short ly, possibly within four days.
 Following todny's ratification by the chamber of deputies, the senate will im- mediateIy take up the discussion. The peace committee of that body has al- ready completed its study of the docu- ment.
 The debate in the senate is expected iu parliamentary circles to be quite short, possibly not exceeding four days
 The last days discussion of the treaty even interest. Sixteen speakers occupied two hours in giving reasons for the votes they were about to cast. These reasons interested the speakers far more than they did the House. which paid scant at tention to the debate. The majority oi the speakers were socialists and theil reasons were much the same. Premier Clemenceau was presen throughout the session. He showed sign: ot interest only during the interlude while the votes were being counted. He then stood up and was surrounded by deputies, with whom he carried on an active conversation.
 Capt. Andre Tardieu heard himself de- scribed several times as the real author of the treaty.
 NO DEMONSTRATION
 No demonstration occurred in the House when NJ. Deschanel. president of the vote ratifying the treaty, and there was no cheering. M Deschanel at once called for a vote on the military conventions with Great Britain and the United States. There was some applause at this an- nouncement, and the vote in favor of the conventions was unanimous.
 Ratification of the German peace treaty by the French camber of deputies by the decisive vote of 372 to 53 may be consid- cred as assuring the approval of the Yer sailles peace by the second of the great powers which has voted upon it. Great Britain has already, by act of Parlia- ment. ratified the treaty. and the formal announcement of ratification is only awaiting the receipt of advices that Aus tralia, the last of Great Britains domin : ions to act upon it. has registered it's ap- proval. The French Senate has yet to act. but it's assent now seems fore gone conclusion,
 The approval of three of the great great powers, in addition to that of Ger many, is needed to put the treaty into effect.

PRESIDENT WILSON IS VERY SICK MAN,
 PHYSICIAN STATES
 IN LATEST REPORT
Forced to Remain in Bed Throughout Day-Sev- eral Additional Doc
 tors Are Called in
 For Consultation
By AssecIated Press

Washington, October D. President Wilson is Ca very sick man," and "his condition is less favorable" it was said by Dr.. Cary T. Grayson, the Presi- dents physician, in a statement issued at 10 o'clock tonight from the White House.
 The following bulletin was issued by Dr. Grayson:
 ''rhe President is . very sick man. His condition is less favorable today and he has remained in bed throughout the day.
 "After consultation with Dr. F. X. Dercum of Philadelphia. DTS. Sterling Ruffin and E. R. Stitt of Washington, who all agreed to his condition, it was determined that absolute rest is essential for some time."
 pr. Dercum returned to Philadelphia to- night. Secretary Tumulty announced
 After the consultation it developed that the physicians caliesi in by Dr. Grayson had agreed entirely with his diagnosis of the Presidents ailment and approved the course of treatment decided upon by him.
 The name of Dr. Dennis, director of the naval dispensary in Washington, did not appear in the bulletin Dr. Grayson gave out tonight but he was said to have been at the White House during the two- hour consultation.
 CONCERN IS FELT
 There was much speculation in the capi- tai tonight as to the Presidents real con- dition, and concern was generally ex- pressed.
 When the consulting physicians left the White House, shortly after 6:30 O clock, Dr. Grayson remained and at 10 o'clock he went to the executive offices and gave out his bulletin through Secretary Tu- multy.
 Earlier in the day Dr. lGrayson made known that the Presidents physical con dition was fairly strong and that his blood pressure was good. The Presidents S age-he is approaching his 63d birthday it was explained, however, made close watching of his condition essential.
 Former Secretary of the Treasury Mo Adoo, the Presidents son-in-law, called at the White House during the day, but it could not be learned whether he had been requested to come to Washington because of M. Wilson's illness or was in the city on business trip.

SHOULD MAINTAIN PACE

Government intervention, he said, should be confined to maintaining peace and order, which he added was the only present need in the situation. He told the committee that he recognized con centrated capital had power to do more or less harm, and said he personally favored Strict federal control, even to licensing and commission supervision of industrial conditions, but that the pres ent condition demanded no such rerne- dies. Labor likewise, he said. needed control but the greatest controllins power he said lay in enlightened pub lie sentiment"
 In a sharp exchange between the wilt ness and Senator Walsh, Judge Gary re- fused to say his action in refusing 10 meet union leaders indicated perma- nent policy. His course, he explained would be directed in every situation to- wards the maintenance of the open shop' and the present refusal seemed to h1m best calculated to bring about that end.
 Judge Gary said unions in England control industry 'to the great damage of the country, and she is compelled to do things that are not good examples for us"

By hssseistsd vress


 k-oadon, October 2.-Though il waIld be premature to aban- sAone hope of a settlement of siae ys.ilway strike, the situation ssalziat has disappointed the al- gaass universal expectation of saNss arrangement resulting from the numerous conferences yesG@rday and today between the abor representatives and aaa the government, and the pos ion is again grave.
 SalN es Henry Thomas, general secre- s@v ef the National Union of Railway scus nnounced that the efforts to re- evea ehe negotiations collapsed, owing ta governments refusal to go be- yeh0 ts previous offer.

 The transport workers federation will hold another meeting tomorrow, indi- eating that they are still reluctant to call strike.
 The government is unceasing in its organization to insure public services, and, under emergency powers, has closed Regents Park to the public and is using the park as a clearing center for market produce, frozen meat and fish, in the same way that Hyde Park is being used for the distribution of milk.

FEARS UNION CONTROL

If they get control here" he said, it will mean the establishment or methoos and practices tending to increase costs and lower production very greatly, all at the expense of consumers.
 What good is it for men to belong to unions said Senator Walsh, democrat Massachusetts, If when they join you refuse to discuss anything with their rep resentatives?'
 "for 10 per cent of men who may belong to unions to dictate conditions for the other 90 per cent?
 But your position is the same" Sem ator Walsh continued. "even if 90 per cent of the men were organized, you would not confer with their represen- tatives."
