COUNTERFEIT
 TEN DOLLARS
 WERE PASSED
Shrewd Holders of the Bills Waited Until Late Saturday, When Banks Were All Closed, to Get Rid of the Bad Bills Among Merchants
FIVE DIFFERENT
 STORES CAUGHT

Taking advantage of the fact that the banks were closed and that other sources of information were not conveniently available slick workers succeeded Saturday afternoon in passing several coun- terfeit $10 bills on local mer- chants. Apparently business was rushing and cashiers or clerks were not on the alert to the possi- bilities that Saturday afternoon offers to rubber check passers and counterfeit money circulators.
 This afternoon, Captain William P. Keeg,an chief inspector of the local detective bureau, admitted that five different stores along East Main and South Main streets had been victimized. Other complaints are expected.
 The bills were passed with such little difficulty and suspicion that clerks can scarcely recall how they were received. The commercials turned up in local banks this morning and were immediately 'sretired" from circulation.
 A United States secret service agent was in Waterbury this after noon to take charge of the phoney bills and to make the usual inquir- ies. The spurious currency are of the same make which the public has been warned against several times. A number of stores have the serial numbers posted, but. last Saturday afternoon very few stores evidently were on their guard against the smooth working crew of men and women.

Manchester, N. H., Aug. - lUP9-The mill bells of the Amos keag corporation called 5000 ops eratives to its clattering spindles today. A year ago, at the depth of the depression, 1t employed 4,100 workers. Twenty years ago, before world markets had been upset - and before artificial silk challeng- ed the reign of king cotton, 15,- 500 spinners and weavers passed through its gates every day.
 The figures form a graphic chart of the rise, fall, and partial reCOv- cry of industrial New England. To a varying degree they represent the history of every textile maMu- city from Manchester to the sea-Nashua, Lowell, Law renee and Haverhill.
