Labor plans government control of railroads in bid for public ownership

The statement signals a formal push before Congress and outlines compensation and governance changes.

Preliminary hearings slow in Douglas deportation case
In Douglas Arizona the preliminary hearings for 240 residents charged with kidnapping in the Warren mining district deportations two years ago continued. Oscar Firman and Alec Nichola faced continued hearings while George Medicevich and Henry Malmfalk were postponed due to missing witnesses. Two state witnesses were fined for not appearing, and prosecutors warned of strict action for future nonappearances.
