H. concern was once again in the red by $1,000,000 even without any allowance for depreciation. Blamed was the decline of the New England cotton business. Boston's Frederic Christopher Dumaine, Amoskeag's treasurer and real boss, declared: "Nearly 1,000,000 New England spindles have gone to the scrap heap in the last few weeks. ... No management is competent to operate a plant like this, handicapped with . . . $2.56 [per week] average wage differential...
