(AP) — A chemical weapons depot used by the Army that has weathered bomb threats and false alarms now faces a lawsuit from workers who claim they were sickened by highly toxic nerve gas and mus tard agents. The 18 workers, who are build ing an incinerator at the Umatilla Chemical Depot, claim the Army is hiding leaks that occurred on Sept. 15,1999. In filing the federal lawsuit Monday, lawyer James E.

The suit also seeks com pensation and damages for the workers.
