Farah to close 2 plants SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Farah Manufacturing Co. of El Paso an nounced Wednesday it is closing down its two plants in San Antonio laying off 1,200 employes. The firm’s five plants in El Paso will remain open. “It is a very painful thing to do, ’ a spokesman for Farah said, “but we were forced to close down the plants indefinitely because of the declining economic situation.” The plants had been reopened in May and July of last year following~a settlement with the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union which sought to represent the company’s employes. The company was the target of a strike and a nationwide boycott that lasted more than a year and forced it to close all its plants except those in El Paso. President Willie Farah said in a statement read to employes that the company’s sales during the quarter ended Jan. 31 had increased over those of the same period the year before when the company was not operating at full capacity, but that the firm lost $4.9 million. Farah said the losses were more than had been anticipated. The company said that in addition to the employes laid off in San An tonio, 300 other workers have been dismissed since November.
