Denies AmOskeag
Mill at Manchester
to Open on May LIST

Manchester, n. H., April 1S-In
denying rumors that the Amoskeag
mills closed for two months by a
strike would reopen en- May l. agent
William Parker Straw said today that
ample advance notice of the intend
ed opening of the mill will be given"
He said lack of orders would pre-
vent a re-opening as soon as May
even if the operatives were willing to
return to work.
when the great majority of the
operatives express their desire to re-
turn" he said under the conditions
and terms as posted heretofore, the
company then will endeavor to sell
sufficient goods TO enable the mills to
start. Whether this can be cone is
problematical, but it is evident to
everyone that no goods can possibly
he sold unless their delivery is as
sured by the expressed desire of the
people to return to work.
Unfinished goods SIC being finish
ed by small force in both cloth
rooms and portions of the designing
department are working on samples
for the spring of 1928. Other than
this no goods are being turned out,
nor do we expect nor ca re to start any
part of our mills until it is demon
stratcd that the great ma jorty of the
operatives wish this done, and then
not until we find the product can be
sold"
