United Mine Workers KETK FromlB BIRMINGHAM. Ala. (AP) i i lion leaders canceled an organizing vote at a Wal-Mart store 1 1 uirsday and accused the chain of i-i tig intimidation and harass-n lit to keep its U.S. retail rce from unionizing. The store, located in the Birmingham suburb of Fairfield, would have become the first unionized Wal-Mart in the United Suites had employees joined the I nited Mine Workers of America in balloting set for Friday.

I'ut the union unexpectedly ithdrew its request for a referen-Huni by the store's 197 employees 41 distribution centers in the United States, where it employs 700,000 people. It also operates in seven foreign counties including Canada, where there are nearly 600 stores. The Fairfield vote was only the second scheduled at a U.S. Wal-Mart. Employees at a Wisconsin Wal-Mart in August rejected becoming unionized by an almost 2-1 margin.

The National Labor Relations Board said the union cannot seek another vote at the Fairfield store for six months. about 16 hours before the voting was to begin. "At this time the union feels it cannot get a fair election," the United Mine Workers said in a statement. "In its anti-union campaign Wal-Mart has threatened, intimidated and harassed its employees to the point they are afraid to vote for fear of losing their jobs." Wal-Mart denied any attempt to block unions through unfair practices. "Our associates can now put the full focus of their efforts on serving our customers in the holiday season," said Betsy Reithemeyer, a spokeswoman at Wal-Mart headquarters in Bentonville, Ark.

Workers have said low pay and short hours motivated them three months ago to consider membership in the United Mine Workers. The retailer has 2,337 Wal-Mart stores, 444 Sam's Club stores and properties is a great opportunity. for Sinclair on a number of fronts," Smith said. "The television properties wiU expand our coverage to nearly 20 percent of the United States and will add to our presence in the top 75 markets."

Harris' two sons and a grandson played football in the past, which might explain why she ears a Tigers shirt every day and irises a decorated minivan affectionately known as the "spirit v.ui." "We just love football," she said vith a grin. "All we want for hristmas is to beat Commerce." i'he football fever is so rampant one couple is considering wedding on hold so they ftn support the Tigers. "We're ready and we're going to in.

although we may have to post-p me a wedding," said Ann Johnson, mother of offensive line-nan Keith Johnson, whose sister is planning to get married Dec. 20. 'You can get married any time, but viiu don't get to the state champi-inships every day." And then there are the people who have their own peculiar rituals when it comes to football. Betty Watson, mother of right tackle Justin Watson, was recently seen dancing with the Tiger mascot at a game, though she insists the mascot was the one who started it. Watson wears the same shirt for each game and refuses to carry the decorated cowbell she swears caused the Tigers' only loss this season, in a match against Daingerfield.

Vicki Morse, mother of left tackle Brandon Morse, has her own formula for tipping the odds in Linden-Kildare's favor. For each game, she makes sure the family cars are appropriately decorated, sits on the same side for each game and raises her pinky for each kick. One of the loudest Tiger fans is Alene Boyd, mother of varsity cheerleaders Katie and Krystal Boyd. Usually soft-spoken, Boyd admitted that during games she dances and yells more than the cheerleaders. Her game uniform is a Tiger shirt, blue socks, jeans and a blue-and-white jacket, but Boyd said she plans to add blue-and-white face paint and hair, spray for tonight's game.

"My daughters were embarrassed at first, but they like it now," she said. "I took megaphones to one game and screamed through them until the cheerleaders took them away from rtie. They've been using them ever since." At Linden-Kildare High School, the cheerleaders have been busy painting posters and selling spirit tokens for tonight's game. "Football is life here, and we never expected to get this far," said Kacy Dowd, as she and cheerleader co-captain Melinda Glover hand-painted the giant tiger poster the football team will burst through at the beginning of the game. "We even have one coach who does the 'worm which is a sight to see," said cheerleader sponsor Tina Hamilton, mother of wingback Ryan Hamilton.

"He's usually shy, but when things get rolling, he'll start dancing, and everyone has to watch. We've never lost a game when he did the dance." With the rest of the town in an uproar, the Linden-Kildare Tigers are simply concentrating on staying focused and not being too overwhelmed by the size of Texas Stadium. And when it comes to explaining their winning streak, one player said he feels a higher power is watching over the Tigers. "We don't have any big superstitions; we just pray a lot," said fullback Anthony Guillory. "We pray before the game and at halftime.

It's not luck we're blessed." Buczkowski's 26-month-old nephew who was riding with her in the vehicle was injured. The boy, Vincent Kingsley, was taken to East Texas Medical Center in Tyler, where he was listed in good condition. "(Vincent) was her sister's baby," Belt said. "Her sister was at work, and she was notified, and she came up there to the hospital." Elliff also was taken to ETMC, where he was in serious condition Thursday, according to the DPS. The driver of the vehicle chasing Elliff did not stop at the -scene, according to Belt.

Buczkowski is survived by her husband, Steve Buczkowski of Big Sandy; son, William Manell of Grand Prairie; daughter, Adele Berggren of Arlington; two sisters, Dorene June Watson of Jefferson and Patricia V. Kingsley of Big Sandy; and two nephews. Sell it in no time!
