One dead and seven wounded.

150 strikes in 1963; in 1965, 25.

A demonstration, 100 thousand in Rio.

Four hanged a suicide, three lifeless prisons revoked when the governor judged all innocent.

Three days of the strike, from June 16. Union suffers government intervention. Four hundred workers are arrested.
