NIKE AGAIN RAISES PAY FOR INDONESIAN WORKERS

          Nike has "agreed to increase wages 22% for entry-level
     factory workers in Indonesia," according to the WALL STREET
     JOURNAL.  The move is retroactive to October 1 and "raises
     the entry price for Nike's 20,000 lowest-paid workers to
     about $28 a month from $23 a month."  Nike also said that it
     would "improve the quality and frequency of free meals it
     serves workers at the plants."  The increase follows Nike's
     15% raise last spring.  S.F.-based human rights group -- and
     Nike critic on workers wages -- Global Exchange (GE)
     "applauded the move."  GE Dir Medea Benjamin: "Anything they
     do to make workers live better is fabulous.  But there is
     still more that they can do" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 10/16).
