Amoskeag Mills
State Hours Will
Never Be Changed

Manchester. n. H.. Oct. 1.-THE two
outstanding features of the annual
meeting of the Amoskeag Manufac-
turing Company stockholders today
was the declaration of Treasurer f.
C. Dumaine, that positively and
without qualification, there will be
absolutely no change in the schedule
of hours" and the report that the
company's profits for the fiscal year
were '$64S,OS726.
In his report, Treasurer Dumaine
said During the long cessation of
work it is fair to say law and order
has, generally speaking, on the whole
been maintained.
1T is also fair to point out that
during this protracted idleness in
New Hampshire, many competitors
with similar rates and schedules have
operated 80 per cent while only % per
cent of New Hampshire spindles have
been running. The losses to the OPP
eratives, the community and the
mills have been incalculable.
From every standpoint it is to be
hoped such a calamity may never be
repeated and it never will happen if
the operatives believe that in the
future as in the past, the mills here
continue to provide conditions and
rates comparable to those existing in
competing centers.
There has been considerable dis
cussion and some doubt as to wheth-
or the company really intends to con-
tinue the prevailing 54-hour week.
The management has given this
question the most careful considera-
ton and l wish. to state positively
and without qualification that there
will be absolutely no change from the
present schedule Of hours"

RUSSIAN DRAMATIC
 ACTORS SPREADING
Artists Are ReVolutioniZing Thea
 ters in Central Europe

Berlin, Sept 16.-Russian dramatic art Is revolutionizing the theaters Of Central Europe. Actors, singers and dancers who were forced to leave Russia because of political troubles and the food shortage first found their way into music halls and cabarets. and recently the regularly organized Russian companies have obtained per mission from the Soviet government to leave for Russia for short engage ments in European capitals. Fifty players from the Moscow Art theater, in many ways the most celebrated theater in the world, are now in Berlin offering number of their productions just as they present them in Moscow Among the plays in their repertory are Cricket on the Hearth" strindberg's Eric Four teenth" and Twelfth Night"
 Population Grows.
 Berlin now has Russian popula- ton of nearly 100000. and it con sequently affords large audiences for productions In the Russian language. The company's work Is notable for the natural methods of the players, the lack of stars and the marvellous ability of all actors to contribute to the perfection Of the stage picture. The ability of Russians as pantomim ists and dancers has made 1t possible for them to enter the variety houses in all the European capi- tals as well as at the various sea- side casinos. Ostend and Schevenin- gen are giving employment to many Russian performers and singers. They have found places in the French and German variety theaters and they are making their way to America in large numbers.
 Russians dancers are so thorough ly trained and are able to offer such a varied program of classical folk and character dances that dancers of other nations in Europe find it diff fcult to compete with them
