shot officer, police say G
United Press International
DALLAS — A mentally dis
turbed man smashed dishes in a
violent demand for breakfast,
then shot a policeman who re
sponded to his mother’s call for
help before being arrested,
police said Monday.
The suspect, Israel Morales,
33, was arrested after a four-
hour standoff with scores of
policemen. After an unsuccess
ful attempt at negotiations,
police saturated the house with
tear gas which started a fire. The
injured policeman, Tommy
Gates, 37, suffered a stomach
wound and was in the intensive
care unit at Parkland Memorial
Hospital in fair condition
Monday.
Morales was treated for a
minor wound to the shoulder
and was jailed. Authorities said
at-
he would be charged with
tempted capital murder.
His mother, who said
Morales had a history of mental
disturbances, said she called
police after he demanded break
fast Sunday morning, then be
came unusually violent and be
gan smashing dishes.
Morales was smoked out of
his parents’ home where Gates
had gone around 9 a.m. CDT to
answer the call at Morales’ pa
rents’ home, a police spokesman
said.
After a four-hour standoff,
law officers used gun shots and
tear gas to drive Morales out of
the home. His parents were re
leased before snots were fired.
Morales was arrested after he
fled the house to avoid the gas
and a fire sparked by gas cannis-
lobbed into the structure.

HERMITAGE, Ark. — A new
law requiring safe housing and
minimum wage for migrant
workers will be enforced for the
migrants who spend only a few
weeks picking tomatoes in
southern Arkansas, a Labor De
partment official said.
Conflicts in past summers
have led to charges of assault
and slavery, then to investiga
tions by the Labor Department,
the FBI and the U.S. Border
Patrol.
“The new law is aimed at pro
tecting the migrant worker, and
it states the people responsible
are the farm labor contractors,
not the growers or the unions,”
said Bennett Wood, assistant
area director for the Labor De
partment.
The contractors find farm
workers and direct them to the
farms where pickers are needed.
Under the law, they must regis
ter with the government and
provide worker protections.
The Migrant and Seasonal
Workers Protection Act says the
workers must be presented all
relevant information concern
ing working conditions, wages,
benefits and housing, if it is pro
vided, in a language they can
understand — usually Spanish.
The housing must pass in
spection by a government agen
cy. Farm labor contractors must
also make sure their vehicles
meet passenger safety standards
and are covered by transporpn-
surance.
About 250 people in the
tomato industry attended a
meeting at Hermitage in March
to learn about the new law.
“We’ll spend considerable
time educating all concerned,”
Iri

Wood said. “Education
