NIKE AND ADIDAS BOTH MOVE TO GET WORKERS OUT OF INDONESIA

          Nike has flown out "about" 130 employees and their
     families from "embattled Jakarta," while adidas evacuated 51
     of its people on Saturday, according to Jeff Manning of the
     Portland OREGONIAN.  Both companies took the employees and
     their families to nearby Singapore.  Manning added that
     despite the rioting and looting in Jakarta, neither adidas
     nor Nike has suffered any interruption in footwear
     production.  While the factories are running, "transporting
     shoes has become a problem," as subcontractors must truck
     the finished shoes through streets "strewn with debris and
     sometimes closed altogether."  Indonesia produces about 25%
     of adidas' shoes and 29% of Nike's (OREGONIAN, 5/19).
