I about that before they re sponded Tuesday morning.” The union has granted Chrysler three sets of conces sions to help it avoid bankruptcy since the last strike in 1973. Analysts estimate a combined strike by Canadian and U.S. workers could cost the automak er about $60 million a week. The local leaders — who say pressure is mounting for a strike — will decide what to do. Several big Detroit-area locals said a walkout is likely. Thomas Miner, Chrysler vice president for industrial rela tions, said nothing has changed financially for Chrysler since the original agreement was reached Sept. 16. ‘‘There is simply no more money available to meet several demands made by the union,” Miner said. Miner said the company’s hourly workers now earn an av erage of $20,000 a year and re stored cost-of-living allowances included in the unpopular agreement would have given them raises of about $20 a week by the end of its one-year te nure. Workers were angered that the pact called for raises in base pay tied to Chrysler’s future profits even though cost-of- living allowances were restored. A walkout would be ruinous to the company, Miner said, but it would be insanity to raise wages when you’re losing money. Chrysler has a 70-day inven tory of U.S.-built cars and Mer rill Lynch analyst Harvey Hein- bach said a short strike would not cause too many problems. Chrysler workers now earn about $2 an hour less than their General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. counterparts.

The latest influx of refugees began when West German offi cials ordered thousands of Bangladeshis to leave that coun try because of the troubled eco nomy. More than 15,000 Bang ladeshis illegally entered West Germany years ago and asked for political asylum. Until re cently, they were allowed to re main there and work. But Peterson said many of the asylum applications are now being denied and many of the Bangladeshis are waiting for the opportunity to travel to south Florida via the Bahamas instead of returning to their impover ished homeland. “That (political asylum appli cation) process in West Ger many took anywhere up to seven years,” he said. “But now their requests have been denied and instead of going back home, they are trying to come to the United States. “With over 15,000 that fit this profile, you can see that it’s going to be a large-scale prob lem for the U.S. government and soutli Florida.” Peterson said negotiations be tween the Bahamian and U.S. governments are under way to try to stem the Bangladeshi flow before it gets worse than the 300 and 400 who already have en tered. “We know of at least that many who have arrived in the Bahamas and have not returned to West Germany,” he added. “All indications are that the number is going to continue to grow.” The first Bangladesh native was arrested in Miami in June and since then, 57 other natives have been arrested in other Florida cities. Still others have been arrested in cities across the country, like Buffalo, N.Y., New York City, Houston and Detroit. Officials say they all entered the country illegally through south Florida. Peterson said it is unclear how the Bangladeshis arrange their trips from West Germany to the Bahamas to Florida, but officials say they come to this country with job contacts. “Apparently, they come here with job contacts nationwide,” said Beverly McFarland, spokes woman for the Immigration and Naturalization Service. “They tend to go to industrialized areas n6rth or west of Florida where they ti ik they can get jobs and where there is a support com munity.” Fall MSC CAMERA COMMITTEE Photo Contest Nov. 6, 1982 ^ AG ECO CLUB MEMBERS ^ AGGIELAND GROUP PICTURE THURS.
