Riot police charge march
leave protesters bleeding
MEXICO CITY (AP) — Riot police on foot and horse
back charged a Labor Day march near the center of the
capital with clubs Tuesday, leaving several demonstra
tors bleeding with head wounds.
It was the only reported violence in the Labor Day ac
tivities, held as a long submissive rank-and-file is grasp
ing for a voice in a weakened pro-government system.
The marchers represented a group of independent
unions headed for the main plaza, or Zocalo, as a larger
demonstration by pro-government unions was dispers-
in g-
Police had held up the march apparently waiting for
the other groups to leave the plaza, then charged. It was
not clear what triggered the attack, during which some
marchers also threw bricks and rocks at police.
The march later left toward the plaza as demonstra
tors carried away the wounded. It was not immediately
clear how many people were hurt or how seriously they
were injured.
Once in the plaza the marchers pulled down from a
building a huge banner from a pro-government labor
group and set it on fire.
At least three major labor groups declined to join the
official rally of the Mexican Labor Federation, or CTM,
in the Zocalo. Several independent unions held sepa
rate marches to the plaza.
The chants as workers filed into the plaza were symp
tomatic of labor’s problems.
“Aware worker, don’t give up, don’t sell out,”
shouted some.
Ranks of members of pro-government unions
marched around the huge square past the National Pal
ace to greet President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, then
marched out. Unofficial estimates put the number of
marchers at around 200,000.
About 10,000 other workers from non-government
aligned unions headed for the Zocalo in other marches
as the CTM demonstration dispersed.
Two groups marched past the American Embassy
shouting “Gringo thieves, to the firing squad.”
Behind the demonstrations walked 10 city sanitation

workers with brooms and bright orange uniforms. On
of them, Domingo Rendon, sighed, “The day of
worker means more work for us.”
Some in the CTM demonstralion said they hadtoa:
tend. “It is forced,” said a worker from an automobi
brake plant. “If you don’t go they will discount twodaj
from your salary.”
Marching bands abounded, but there was somethin;
of a pall over this year’s CTM festivities.
A group of members of the telephone worker:
union marched past Salinas yelling “Pansy!” butitwj tndt
not clear if they could be heard over the loudspeaket
and band music.
“We are hungry” read a banner carried by worker:
the Treasury Department.
“Never, in recent years, have the labor hierarchic
had such a diminished presence in the spirit andconfi
dence of the workers,” wrote Raul Trejo, a politicalco!
umnist and labor specialist, in his weekly column inIh
government newspaper El Nacional.
The Mexican Electrical Workers’ Union said itwouli
not take part in the CTM rally because it did notwannj
risk incidents “resulting from the unrest there is
the workers,” the weekly Proceso said Monday. Tlij
Revolutionary Workers’ Federation was boycotting
protest low wages.
The teachers’ union, the country’s largest, at
nounced it would stay home, but a dissident movemeri
that claims support of about half the more than 1 rail,
lion members called one of the three separate demot
strations.
Monday evening municipal officials said any groups \ te<
could march this year if they remained orderly.
But it assigned different routes to the dissident
groups, saying it wanted to avoid confrontations

Former captive celebrates freedom with meal

A special State Department team
began questioning the 57-year-old
educator at the U.S. Air Force hospi
tal in Wiesbaden, hoping for clues
about the 16 remaining Western
hostages in Lebanon. Six American
hostages are still held.
Reed, who said he spent much of
his captivity blindfolded, is the sec
ond American hostage freed since
April 22. The former captive has in
dicated that he was held with other
hostages, but has not elaborated.
After performing some prelimi
nary medical examinations, includ
ing X-rays and blood tests, Reed’s
doctors said the former captive
showed no initial signs of serious
medical problems.
Reed lost “significant weight and
muscle mass from a lack of exercise
and a marginal diet” during his 43
months in captivity, the doctors said
in a statement released by the hospi
tal.
9-year-old son, Tarek, who had ar
rived from the United States, where
they had been staying in his home
town of Malden, Mass.
Military officials said Reed’s wife
and son went on a quick shopping
tour to buy new clothes for him at
the nearby U.S. Lindsey Air Base.

They added that Reed is “weak
and tired,” but “otherwise feels well
and is talking with family and medi
cal staff.” The hospital said Reed
had indicated he did not want to
meet with the media Tuesday.
Reed was reunited at the hospital
Tuesday morning with his Syrian
Moslem wife, Fahima, 39, and their
Reed displayed a healthy appetite
and a strong thirst for beer, accord
ing to the hospital staff.
For lunch, Reed requested a “Hei-
neken (beer) and a large steak
cooked medium rare,” and the freed
hostage “got what he asked for,” the
hospital statement said.
He spent the afternoon sleeping
and was to have dinner with his fam
ily, hospital officials said.
In Washington, President Bush
called Reed’s release “joyous news,”
but said he wouldn’t be satisifed un
til all the remaining hostages are
freed.
Bush, who met at the White
House Tuesday with Democratic
and Republican leaders, praised
Syria and Iran for exerting pressure
on the Shiite Moslem fundamentalist
hostage-takers.
But the president also prodded
the two countries to work for the re
lease of more hostages, emphasizing
they should not expect normal rela
tions or “vast improvement until all
Americans are freed.”
“When a step is taken that goes to
ward that day when all hostages are
released, I should say thank you,”
Bush said. “But beyond that, I can’t
say that I can be happy.”
