Judge rejects move to hold King in contempt in Selma march
A federal judge denied Sheriff Clark’s bid to hold Martin Luther King Jr in contempt over a Selma march. Judge Frank M Johnson Jr said contempt actions are between court and contemnor as civil rights leaders and the justice department push for orders to protect peaceful demonstrations. The hearing covered past and planned marches with federal officials coordinating. Witnesses included King Clark Lingo and relatives of Jimmie Lee Jackson. Later in Toronto, protesters outside the U S consulate demonstrated against Alabama civil rights treatment.

Rail unions urge job protection in proposed railway bill
Nine unions representing over 100000 railway workers ask Ottawa to embed job protection measures in the new railway legislation. They say the bill offers 80 million in railway aid but nothing for affected employees and communities facing line abandonments and shifts, calling for a Canadian transportation authority to oversee interprovincial transport and a maintained Seaway toll level.
