a new contract Sunday, en

against the nation’s largest
processor of fresh pork.
Wilson spokesman David
Thompson said some em-
ployees would be called back
today, but most would be
brought back in steps
“because of the process in-
volved "
For example, Thompson
said, the company will have
to resume buying hogs for
slughter and get them to the
processing plants before
many of the workers will be
needed at those plants
He said the company would
get everyone back to work
“as soon as possible" and all
of the plants that have been
idle since early this month
should be returned to normal
production by the end of the
week

WASHINGTON (UPI) — In
a victory for Indian tribes,
the Supreme Court ruled 6-3
Monday that the federal gov-
ernment can be sued to pay
money damages for
mismanaging resources,
such as timber, on Indian
reservations
The decision affirmed a
U.S. Court of Claims ruling
that found the government
owes money to members of
the Quinault Reservation in
the state of Washington.
The Quinaults claimed the
Interior Department caused
“pervasive waste and mis-
managment" of tribal timber
lands, and owed them for lost
revenues and property
devaluation.
Writing for the majority,
