As, '27 By JACK MALLON and ARTHUR MULLIGAN The condition of stricken Transport Workers President Michael J. Quill, 60, remained unchanged early today, and so did the condition of the bargaining between his "second team" of union negotiators and the Transit Authority. Quill slept, in his Bellevue Hospital room, in serious "but not critical" condition. At 1:15 A.M., mediator Sylvester Garrett announced that, after meeting at length with both sides, the Mayor's three-man mediation panel was adjourning talks except for committee meetings, until 9:30 A.M. No new offer was made by the TA last night, Garrett said.

It was widely reported that, with Mayor Lindsay's backing, the TA was about to boost the ante of its money offer to the TWU, but Garrett declared that talk of a richer TA proposal was "quite premature." He did confirm a report that Central Labor Council President Harry Van Arsdale was present at the negotiation site in the Americana Hotel last night, but said he did not sit in on the bargaining. He exchanged views with both parties, Garrett said. Quill, who had suffered an apparent heart attack in mid-afternoon, less than two hours after being jailed for contempt of court, was in a private room in Bellevue's intensive care unit. Four policemen and a deputy sheriff were posted outside his door. Quill's collapse came some four hours after he shouted his latest defiance of court action yelling: "The judge can drop dead in his black robes! Personally, I don't care if I rot in jail." 3 0 1 i I a According to Dr.

Quill's chances for recovery were "good," and Mayor Lindsay expressed the belief that "the chances of reaching agreement are not diminished" by the TWU boss' sudden illness-Lindsay Speaks As the negotiations were resuming at 6:30 P.M. in the Hotel Americana. Lindsay indicated a firm TA offer was in the works. He said: "I cannot discuss it in detail. That would not be proper.

However, that is precisely what they (the negotiators are discussing." But when he was asked point-blank whether TA was ready to up its $25 million offer, he said comment would be "most unwise." However, the Mayor reported that the mediation panel believes that the "second team" of TWU has the authority, as stated by Quill, to press for a settlement.
