Vandalism surge hits Southern strikes and damage
A new wave of cable cuttings and a derailed freight train marked the 43rd day of regional telephone and railroad strikes. In Alabama, cables were slashed disrupting Southern Bell service, while a 104‑foot section of the Louisville and Nashville bridge near Calera was badly burned, with damage estimated at 150000 dollars. Dynamite found near Wasiolo Ky. prompted a police report, and talks in Washington failed to produce a settlement as Kentucky urged a regional meeting in Nashville between governors, company and union reps.
