A narrowly averted incident on the border with Rhodesia led him to pull his own small army back to Lusaka to avoid an accidental clash. In the rail center of Livingstone, the town's first race disturbance-a minor scuffle in which nobody was seriously hurt-caused 300 white railwaymen to strike for government protection, and the walkout crippled the nation's copper shipments.
