Connally rejects call for special session amid wage march
Gov. John Connally met about 50 marchers on the highway south of Austin and refused to call a special legislative session to enact a $1.25 minimum wage. He said he would not dramatize the protest and urged reform within existing channels while praising the march as a signal of pent-up Latin American worker frustrations. The group, led by Mucen Nelson and Revs. Navarre and Gonzales, began July 4 in Rio Grande City and aims for the Austin Labor Day rally.
