MARION COUNTY SHIRT COMPANY
CAPITAL MERCURY APPAREL
SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI
Amended Certification Regarding Eligibility to
Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19
USC 2273) the Department of Labor issued a Notice of
Certification Regarding Eligibility to Apply for Worker
Adjustment Assistance on May 14, 2003, applicable to workers of
Marion County Shirt Company located in Springfield, Missouri.
The notice will soon be published in the Federal Register.
At the request of the State agency, the Department reviewed
the certification for workers of the subject firm. The workers
produce men’s woven dress shirts. The Department inadvertently
omitted the parent company’s name, Capital Mercury Apparel, in
the certification. Accordingly, the Department is amending the
certification to properly identify the company name.
The amended notice applicable to TA-W-51,702 is hereby
issued as follows:
"All workers of Marion County Shirt Company, Capital
Mercury Apparel, Springfield, Missouri, who became
totally or partially separated from employment on or
after May 5, 2002 through May 14, 2005, are eligible
to apply for adjustment assistance under Section 223
of the Trade Act of 1974."
Signed at Washington, D.C. this 27th day of May 2003.

Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 USC
2273), as amended, the Department of Labor herein presents the results
of its investigation regarding certification of eligibility to apply
for worker adjustment assistance.
In order to make an affirmative determination and issue a
certification of eligibility to apply for Trade Adjustment Assistance,
the group eligibility requirements in either paragraph (a)(2)(A) or
(a)(2)(B) of Section 222 of the Trade Act must be met. It is determined
in this case that the requirements of (a)(2)(A) of Section 222 have
been met.
The investigation was initiated on May 7, 2003, in response to a
petition filed by a company official on behalf of workers of Marion
County Shirt Company, Marshall, Arkansas. The parent company of the
subject firm is Capital Mercury Shirt Company. The workers were
engaged in employment related to the warehouse functions for company
production of men’s woven dress shirts.
The investigation revealed that the subject facility ceased
operations, which impacted plant workers during the relevant period.
The investigation also revealed that the subject facility was a
distribution facility that provided support to company-owned
manufacturing facilities. Workers of the manufacturing facilities are
covered under an existing certification. All workers of Mar-Bax Shirt
Co., Capital Mercury Apparel, Gassville, Arkansas; and, Tri-County
Shirt Co., Capital Mercury Apparel, Salem, Arkansas, were certified as
eligible to apply for adjustment assistance on July 13, 2001 (TA-W-
39,027; and 39,027A).
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the investigation,
I conclude that increases of imports of articles like or directly
competitive with men’s woven dress shirts produced at Marion County
Shirt Company, Springfield, Missouri, contributed importantly to the
total or partial separation of workers and to the decline in sales or
production at that firm or subdivision. In accordance with the
provisions of the Act, I make the following certification:
"All workers of Marion County Shirt Company, Springfield,
Missouri, who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after May 5, 2002 through two years from the
date of certification are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended."
Signed in Washington, D. C. this 14th day of May 2003.
