BASEBALL; Union Files A
Grievance
Four weeks after Commissioner Fay
Vincent summoned three Yankee
officials to a meeting about their
testimony in the Steve Howe
hearing, the Players Association
yesterday filed a grievance against
Vincent and the 26 major league
clubs seeking to "protect the
integrity" of future hearings. Michael
Weiner, assistant general counsel of
the association, said the union
wanted the arbitrator, George
Nicolau, to bar the commissioner
from repeating his action and to have
a notice sent to all major league
employees telling them that
testifying truthfully at a grievance
hearing cannot result in discipline.

grievance over a conflict with the
Republican National Convention at
the Astrodome this summer that is
forcing the Houston Astros to make a
four-week road trip. The 28-day, 26-

Parrish Talks
BY MURRAY CHASS

The dispute between baseball's

players and club owners over the
charges of a free-agent conspiracy
intensified yesterday when the
players union filed two more

owners with violating the rights of
1986 free agents, and the second
dealt with one free agent, Lance
Parrish, and the Philadelphia Phillies.
Parrish, one of three talented
catchers still unsigned, was prepared
to accept a contract from the Phillies
that would have paid him $1 million
for 1987.

On Grievances
BY DAVID M. HERSZENHORN
Randi Weingarten, the president of
the teachers' union, yesterday
proposed changing the teachers'
contract to speed up grievance
procedures and disciplinary
proceedings, areas that city officials
have long said pose an obstacle to
firing bad teachers. Appearing as the
final witness at an Education
Committee hearing intended to
critique union work rules, Ms.
Weingarten accused Schools
Chancellor Joel I. Klein and
Councilwoman Eva S. Moskowitz,
the Education Committee

Devoid of Grievance
BY VIVIEN RAYNOR
"WE had to make friends with the
wild creatures in the camp,
especially the spiders, mice and rats,
because we were outnumbered. "
That description was of a camp at the
Tanforan Racetrack near San
Francisco, one of several centers in
California where Japanese and
Japanese-American residents (Issei
and Nisei) were held before being
interned in areas remote from the
West Coast. The quote comes from
"Citizen 13660," a humorous but
pointed account of this reaction to
the bombing of Pearl Harbor that
was first published in 1946.
