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.

who are interested.
Teams will run a score course Saturday, with a freestyle competition on
Sunday. Both start at 8 a.m.
Those interested in participating should contact Maj. Joe Carothers at

The confusion many students face when they attempt to use the TAMU |
Library can now be reduced.
The library staff is offering tours and explaining procedures to any
student who requests them. The signup sheet is at the main desk on the first |
floor.
Students will be shown how to use the card catalog and given a tour oil
the building. Each main department will be explained by the personnel in [
charge.
The tours are available every weekday until March 4. There is no I
required number of students needed for each tour.
Students who are unfamiliar with the library will be given general tours I
and persons (faculty or graduates) in need of specialized references will be f
offered tours of the more specific areas.
