'I , Protesters organized by the New Mexko Rainbow Coalition, tried .I to muster the attention of mining company officials meeting at the ,,~. Clarion Four Seasons Hotel Tuesday. About a dozen demonstrators marchedin front of the hotel waving placards to protest U.S. corporat~ investments in South Africa, under fire for its apartheid racial policies. One sign read, "While slaves mine copper in South Africa, New Mexicans lose their jobs," Meanwhile, mining company officials met inside the hotel with a coalition of mining pnions for wage·concession discussions. George Anderson, New .Mexico Rainbow Coalition chairman, said the prot¢St was staged to support the divestment of New Mexico funds frombanks :md corporations that do business with South Africa. •'While Kennecott and Phelps Podge employ thousands of migrant Africa•• workers at stave wages in their South African operations, layoffs and the closing of mines continue in this countrY,'' Anderson said, New Mexico R.ainbow Coalition members contend that Kennecott and Phelps Dodge operate mines in both New Mexico and South Africa. Officials for both companies were present at the hotel meet· ings. The Chino Mines in Hurley, N.M., are owned by .Kennecott, but a company official said that Kennecott corporation no longer owns or operates any South African mines. Ken Hochstetler, a Kennecott public rclatidltS spokesman said, "We used to own tnines in South Africa, butthe company was split up when we were acquired by Standard Oil of Ohio (SOI.fiO) in 1981.''
