Segregationists Convicted By Federal Court In Tennessee

In Knoxville on a Wednesday a federal court convicted six segregationists for conspiring to hinder school desegregation in Clinton Tennessee. A 10 man 2 woman jury acquitted four others as the first major test of federal enforcement of the 1954 Supreme Court desegregation ruling. Sentences on the convicted were to be set within 20 days after motions for new trials.

Union Accuses Railways of Cutting Freight Prices

Transport Workers' Union claims railway undercutting has felled 65 owner drivers. They transported Mirestone from the Marulan quarry to the Berrima cement works about 32 miles, at 1 4 7 9 a ton, now replaced by a 10 shilling per ton contract. The union says this violates an unwritten agreement that road haulers focus on trips up to 50 miles while railways handle longer hauls.
