BOSTON, October 1.—The Sabath Congressional Commitiee investigat- ing the collapse of the Amoskeag Manufacturing Co. of Manchester, N. H., had before it today testimony of Charles Francis Adams, former Secre- tary of the Navy, that “loyalty of bankers and stackholders” prevented it from liquidating long before it did. Adams, an Amoskeag trustee for 25 years, testifying at the opening of hearings -in Ma! yesterday, said financial devices resorted to as early as 1925 saved the company then, Seventy-two per cent of the stack- holders, he :said, were in favor of liquidation in 1927 while the company was experiencing heavy losses. . In view of the subsequent depression and aggravated ‘prédicament of the New England textile industry, he said, it might have been better had the com- pany ‘béen liquidated at that time. The activities of most of the major stockholders in creating a holding company, he asserted, was the only thing that enabled-the company to continue and keep employed approxi- mately 20,000 persons who were de- pendent upon the company's opera- tions for a living. Contradicting suggestions of mem- bers of the committee that financial manipulations of bankers and big stockholders lay behind the downfall of the company, Adams' asserted that “loyalty of bankers and stockholders” prevented it from closing before it finally shut down a year ago.” Adams added that the company's reserve, fixed at $30,000,000 in 1924, were rapidly depleted becguse of ad- verse business conditions in the de- pression years.
