Marcos threatens to use more force to stop protesters
By United Press International
MANILA, Philippines — An angry President Ferdinand Macedo, singing out business executives working to overthrow his 18-year regime, is against force” yesterday to stop government demonstrations
In Dava City, 600 miles south of Manila, troops were on alert following warnings of further attacks after a grenade hurled at a town fiesta Saturday killed at least 15 people and injured nearly 250 others.
Marcos, in a nationwide television address broadcast several times throughout the day, warned that he would use "force against force" to duell further anti-government demonstrations that had left at least 12 people dead and hundreds of others wounded in the Philippine capital. Despite the warning, student and adult groups planned for more demonstrations.
In a blunt warning to the growing ranks of businessmen opposed to his regime, Marcos said that he would "track down" and prosecute executives involved in anti-government activities.
in an apparent reference to repeated public calls for his ouster, Marcos said he would order the military to use words "stimulate mob terrorism."
"We'll file cases against these speakers whoever they may be," Marcos said.
Continental Airlines devises limited domestic service plan
Bv United Press International
HOUSTON — Amid charges of union-busting, a grounded Continental Airlines yesterday planned a limited resumption of domestic flights this week under court protection from creditors owed $650 million.
The "proud bird with the golden tail", as Continental once prided itself, was idle across the country. At Houston Intercontinental airport, 30 jets with the familiar red log on a gold tail ringed a ghostly Terminal C.
The company planned to resume full service at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, using 42 planes of its 108 jet fleet to fly to 25 domestic cities and on international routes that were unaffected by the weekend decisions.
Continental's flights to Pacific islands, Mexico and Venezuela continued yesterday. Those operations were reorganized Thursday into subsidiaries that would be unaffected by the court action.
LAST WEEK, Continental connected 78 American cities but financial troubles caused it to enter a federal court in Houston Saturday and file papers under Chapter 11 of federal bankruptcy statutes.
The company stopped all flights at 6 p.m. Saturday,
Claudia Lampe, spokeswoman for the flight attendants union, alleged in Los Angeles that the company was trying to get rid of current contracts so it could rehire the employees it wanted at reduced wages.
The company said on Tuesday that it would retain 4,200 employees of the company.
Lampe said Continental owners "certainly seem to be engaging in a little union-busting — but that doesn't surprise us. None of this does."
Continental spokesman Bruce Hicks said the employees were being contacted and offered jobs "under the new wages and work rules."
HICKS WOULD not say what the new wages were but said "they are substantially different." When questioned further, Hicks said they would be lower than what the employees were earning before.
"They (the wages) will be at or above market." He defined "market" wages as those being offered by entrants to the airline industry.
Dennis Higgins, a spokesman for the Air Line Pilots Association in Houston, said, "We believe (Continental) is doing nothing more than trying to void their contracts."
He said the pilots would go to court to keep contracts in force.
Continental's court action was taken on the 44th day of a strike by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers union.
CONTINENTAL Chairman Frank Lorenzo said the court action was necessary mainly because union eminent lawyers sued fruits and productivity concession plans.
He had given the pilots and flight attendants until last Monday to approve a company plan for $100 million in concessions.
Under that proposal, the average salary for pilots would have been reduced from $8,400 to $6,000, and flight attendants from $7,300 to $2,900.
