Google quickly shows that Dennis' home page is now at:

  https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/

From there, the CACM paper (HTML form) is at:

More generally, just replace "cm.bell-labs.com" with "9p.io".

That turned out to be the wrong paper.

I'm looking for a paper that describes the (early) dialect of C that let
you do stuff like this:

struct w {
char lo, hi;
};

int x;

char b = x.lo;

I can't find my hardcopy so was looking for a pdf.

There is a list of C-related papers on Dennis Ritchie's page:

That reminds me of the multicharacter constant vs 'byte' index used in speak.c, I didn't realize this was an intended 'feature' for faking tuples (and allowing to index by either the first or second element) in early C, it seemed a bit of a hack to me.
I was hoping there was some elegant way to achieve nearly the same thing in modern C, but I didn't find anything obvious short of string comparisons and an array with a byte and a pointer to a string.

The BSTJ 1922-1983 back catalog is now available (some paywalled? ip-watermarked?) at the IEEE explore site at http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/RecentIssue.jsp?punumber=6731005
(see https://www.bell-labs.com/our-research/technical-journal/ )

However, archived copies of the old bell/lucent site (http://www3.alcatel-lucent.com/bstj/) with some but not all of the pdfs can be found at https://web.archive.org/web/20110810202426/www3.alcatel-lucent.com/bstj/
Individual items containing all(?) the journals and pdfs are available at archive.org at https://archive.org/details/bstj-archives
