They have a purple coloring because your lab is not treating you in an acceptably professional manner.
I fix 400TMax for as long as 20 minutes to get rid of the heavy magenta cast due to the sensitizing dye. Tri-X shouldn't take nearly that long to fix.
No matter what the film, however, the lab should do whatever it takes to get rid of the coloration, and should consult with Kodak to find out what that might be. Not doing so is tantamount to blaming the victim.
If it were me, I'd get a new lab.
