Biography

Alexander Zazem, also printed as Hazem or Sazem, was arrested while attending a Communist Party meeting in Philadelphia on January 2, 1920. The congressional case summary describes him as treasurer of Russian Branch No. 1 and reports his acknowledgment of membership. Officials recommended deportation, but the warrant was canceled March 27. That administrative disposition does not establish physical release, and no complete actual detention duration is supplied.
