Farm Pickets Seek End to Court Injunction
In Mississippi, a federal court is asked to lift state court injunctions restricting a 70-strong strike at Andrews Plantation near Leland. The chancery order limits pickets to four, bans loud language and caps signs at 30 by 30 inches, as strikers demand federal free speech and peaceful picketing rights, plus a $1.25 minimum wage. The walkout affects 12 tractor drivers and their families living on tenant housing, with current pay at about $6 a day for tractor drivers and $3 a day for hoe hands.
