WET FINIsHERs OUT
 AT NORWICH WOOLEN MILL


 Following demands for a IS per cent. increase in pay with time and half for all overtime, which have not been granted, employees of the wet finishing department at the Norwich Woolen mills, numbering about SO men, were given their pay at noon on Saturday and will not go to work this (Monday) morning.

 told they could call at the ofice Sat | urday to get their pay, if they did not want to wait further. The weekly wage now Is ,s22.94 for
 55 hour week for day workers and
 little moore for night workers who make so hours a week

PEACE TREATY FIGHT
 IN SENATE THIS WEEK

Washington. April n.-The fight over the republican resolution to es- tablish peace with Germany without ratification of the treaty of Versailles. adopted last week by the house, will shift tomorrow to the senate with prospect of indefinite controversy. The vote in the house was PAP to 15o. and the resolution is to be transmitted formally to the senate tomorrow for reference to the foreign relations com mittee
 Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, chairman and republican leader, plans to bring the resolution before the committee probably on Wednesday. Action before next week, however, was not expected.
 Much revision of the resolution is expected. Several influential repub- hcan senators favor modifications. The measure may be limited to a simple declaration terminating the war. although a statement of Ameri- can policy is favored In some quar- ters on the republican side.
 Senate republicans are expected to show practically a solid support for the resolution as it comes from com mittee, leaders said.
 The democrats, administration spokesmen said. were as certain to be solid in opposition.
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the administration leader in the treaty fight. was enroute tonight to Nebras- ka for the presidential primary cam paign. BefePe leaving he said he ex- pected no action by the foreign rela- tions committee until he returned. He also predicted a long fight in the sen- ate over the peace resolution and was hopeful of some republican votes against it.
 Some senators said they would not be surprised if the president returned the treaty to the senate during de- bate on the peace resolution which now appears likely to continue indeh- nitely. Republican leaders are plan- ming to avoid interference with the re. maining appropriation bills, giving them the right of way as they become 1 ready. They hope. however, to cleal up all pressing business, including the peace measure, before the recess planned about June for the politica conventions.
