PRESIDENT CLINTON ANNOUNCES LABOR CODE FOR APPAREL INDUSTRY

          President Clinton urged U.S. apparel manufacturers
     yesterday to implement a voluntary code of conduct that he
     said "will improve the lives of millions of garment workers
     around the world," according to Kathleen Kenna in the
     TORONTO STAR.  Nike Chair Phil Knight joined Clinton at a
     White House ceremony to announce the code, which was created
     by the Apparel Industry Partnership, a group of industry,
     labor and human rights leaders. The code includes a cap on
     work hours, guaranteed minimum wage and a ban on worker
     abuse.  Nike, Reebok and Patagonia are among companies
     involved in the campaign (TORONTO STAR, 4/15).
