Events planned for WTO anniversary
The world’s most famous protest
against corporate-led globalization will
be 10 years old Nov. 30. Few people
had ever heard of the World Trade Or-
ganization (WTO) until tens of thou-
sands of labor, environmental and com-
munity activists marched and rallied in
Seattle, shutting down a summit of
trade ministers.
To look back at that occasion, and
re-commit to the struggle against
NAFTA-style trade pacts, activists have
been meeting to plan 10-year anniver-
sary actions in Seattle, Portland, and
Geneva, Switzerland (where the WTO
is scheduled to hold new talks the week
of Nov. 30 - Dec. 4.)
In Portland, labor and community
activists have been meeting since
Spring at the offices of Oregon AF-
SCME to plan an event Dec. 5. Sup-
porters will gather at Governor Tom
McCall Waterfront Park under the
Hawthorne Bridge, march through
downtown Portland, and conclude with
an indoor rally and concert at Portland
State University’s Hoffman Hall.
Plans are afoot for rallygoers to bus
and caravan to Portland from Ashland
and Eugene. The event has the backing
of 10 local unions and three central la-
bor councils. For more information, call
503-736-9777.
History committee puts out call for WTO photos
The Northwest Oregon Labor Coun-
cil’s Labor History Committee is in
need of photographs, testimonials, and
other paraphernalia related to the 1999
World Trade Organization (WTO)
march in Seattle to use in its Labor His-
tory Month presentation at the NOLC
delegates meeting on Monday, Nov. 23.
November is Labor History Month,
and every year the council’s Labor His-
tory Committee presents a program
looking back at major labor events.
Labor History Chairman Jim Cook,
along with Jerry Fitzsimmons of the
National Association of Letter Carriers,
are developing a PowerPoint presenta-
tion of the WTO protest. Photographs
from the Seattle event are needed for
scanning to include in the presentation.
The program also will include re-
flections of the protest by Arthur Sta-
moulis of the Oregon Fair Trade Cam-
paign, and Don McIntosh, associate ed-
itor of the Northwest Labor Press, who
spent five days in Seattle reporting on
the event. Songwriter Paul McKenna
also will perform songs that he wrote
about WTO in Seattle.
Photos and items of interest should
be sent to NOLC via e-mail at
nolc@qwestoffice.net or to their office
at 1125 SE Madison St., Suite 100-D,
Portland, OR 97214.
Centralia Tragedy to be commemorated Nov. 13-14
CENTRALIA — A commemora-
tion of the Centralia Tragedy of 1919
— a major event in labor history in
which four Legionnaires and one mem-
ber of the Industrial Workers of the
World lost their lives — will be held
Friday and Saturday, Nov. 13-14, at
Centralia Community College (CCC).
Members of the Pacific Northwest
Labor History Association, staff and
faculty from Centralia College and The
Evergreen State College, and rank-and-
file union workers from Lewis County
are organizing the commemoration.
The event kicks off at 7 p.m., Nov.
13, at CCC’s Corbet Hall, with a
screening of the documentary “Lewis
County: Hope and Struggle,” by Anne
Fischel. The film examines the events
of 1919 and interviews community res-
idents about economic changes in
Lewis County.
The screening will be preceded by a
musical performance from folk singer
Mark Ross. It is free to the public.
The commemoration continues at 10
a.m., Nov. 14, at Washington Hall with
several workshops and panels dis-
cussing unions and workplace issues.
A walking tour of historic Centralia
Tragedy sites starts at 1:30 p.m.
All events are free to the public.

Kardas of The Evergreen State College
