Texas developer will be inducted into Hall of Fame DALLAS (AP) — Developer Tra mmell Crow, the North Texas real- estate development patriarch, who extended his ventures on a national and international scale, still enjoys making big business deals at 73. Crow will be inducted Thursday into the National Business Hall of Fame, which is sponsored by Junior Achievement Inc. and selected by the editors of Fortune magazine. Privately held Trammell Crow Co. is attempting to transform and broaden its management organiza tion to better conform to its gigantic size. Its founder retains the title of chairman of the Crow holding com pany. He is the architect of the business culture that has created a real-estate company with more than $13 billion in assets. “I’m not a figurehead, but neither am I an executive,” Crow told the Dallas Morning News. “My goal is to support the com pany the best way I can,” he said. “That’s all I want to do.” At the start of this year. Crow Co.’s owners discarded the company organization used during the past 10 years of growth and adopted a new structure. All the development firm’s diver gent nationwide businesses and op erations have been consolidated into a single company. “I’ll never take another big risk in my life,” he said. “I just don’t want to bother. Neither will I stop leading a functional life.” But some of Crow’s friends, part ners and former partners don’t be lieve the talk about risk. “Trammell was born to take risks and he will always take risks,” said Mack Pogue, a former partner who runs Lincoln Property Co. “Some times, those risks will get him in trouble, but those risks are what made him what he is.” Pogue, asked to compare Crow with another famous real estate baron, Donald Trump of New York, said, “There’s no comparison. Trump can look out his window and see all the buildings he’s ever built. “Trammell can get in a jet and travel for three days and not even “Trammell was born to take risks and he will al ways take risks. Some times, those risks will get him in trouble, but those risks are what made him what he is. ” — Mack Pogue, former partner of Trammell Crow catch a glimpse of all his buildings.” In Dallas, his Market Center at tracts hundreds of thousands of visi tors each year. The company’s high-rise office buildings — Diamond Shamrock, Bryan and San Jacinto towers, the LTV Center and the new Texas Commerce Bank Tower —dominate much of the skyline. Crow’s son Harlan, a managing partner in the company, said his fa ther still loves handling deals. “But today, his main job is to help and critique the younger guys in our company,” he said. “For a little while, the change was hard for him, but now he has en dorsed it,” he said. Airline official says 17 employees fired after blackmail try (AP) — An official of American Airlines, which fired 17 flight atten dants for handing out leaflets at an airport, claimed the employees’ union was trying to blackmail the company into an agreement. The Association of Professional Flight Attendants, the union that represents American’s 10,300 flight attendants, filed suit against the air line in U.S. District Court in Fort Worth in protest of the firings. A federal judge Wednesday de layed action on the case, postponing a hearing until next week. A mediator has been called in for the union’s contract talks with Amer ican, which have continued seven months. Union officials said they will con tinue to distribute pamphlets, citing protections under federal law. “They did it for the chilling effect it would have on our members,” Patt A. Gibbs, union president, said Tuesday of the company action. “They can’t win on this one ... As sure as I’m standing here, they know they can’t win. “But they can scare some of our members into not supporting the union’s plan,” she said. Gibbs, at a news conference, said distributing leaflets was a “tradi tional” action in labor disputes and safeguarded under the Railway La bor Act, which governs transporta tion labor agreements. The attendants were fired be cause handing out leaflets that ma lign the company violates corporate policy, said Lowell Duncan, Ameri can’s vice president for corporate communications. The literature they were distribut ing had nothing to do with the issues in the contract being negotiated at this time, he said. “The pamphlet tries to embarrass the company, to do the company and its employees harm and to blackmail the company into making a decision that is not in the best in terests of the company, its stockhold ers or its employees,” he said. A number of attendants distribut ing leaflets wore masks Tuesday night at Dallas-Fort Worth Interna tional Airport after the firings to protect their identities. The three-page pamphlet, titled “American Airlines: Doing What They Do Best?,” accuses the com pany and its officers of fixing prices and neglecting airplane mainte nance. The pamphlet also claims that ex ecutives are “lavishing themselves while paying workers only poverty- level wages.” Gibbs said the firings were an other example of America’s attitude that it can “go outside the law”, then use legal firepower to win a case. She also said the company’s tough stand against the union’s contract demands is based on airline chair man Robert Crandall’s bias against mostly female flight attendants.
