RENEWAL OF DEBATE ON PEACE TREATY IS
 VIRTUALLY ASSURED
Republican Le a d e rs Have Decided to Join Forces With Demo- crats-Lodge Planned to Give Notice That He Would Move Next Monday to Suspend Rules.

Washington, Feb. 2-A re- newal of Senate debate on the peace treaty next week was re- garded as virtually assured to-. day when Republican leaders decided to join with the Demo- crats in Ii, movement to bring the treaty back into the open Senate.
 Senator Lodge, the Republican leader, planned to give notice today that he would move on next Monday to suspend the rules and proceed td consider the treaty. The Democrats would make g. similar motion Tuesday of next week.
 In the form proposed by Senator Lodge the motion will require a tw Il thirds majority, but the general preH diction was that more than that num- Der would support 1t. Not only those who favor ratification in some form but some of the treaty's irreconcilable foes are ready to vote to reopen the debate.
 Should Senator Lodges motion
 fail, however, the motion of the
 Democratic leaders the following day
 will be in such form that only a ma jority would be necessary to pass 1t, 1.-the party leaders say. The Demo- crats contend that no suspension of the rules would be necessary to take up the treaty and that position is ex. pected to be upheld by Vice President Marshall. On appeal from his de- l cision, a. majority only would be ] needed to sustain him.

 Increase.

Springfield, Mass, Feb. 2.---Four hundred union carpenters in the Springfield district which includes Chicopee, Westfield and smaller near by places, went on strike today fol- lowing refusal of employers to grant an increase in wages from S5 to 90 cents an hour, negotiations for which have been on for several months.

The carpen- ters dissented from the general wage agreement which would give them 90 cents April 1, whereas they asked for S1 an hour effective on that date.
