Biography

Carl Keller was an Industrial Workers of the World organizer arrested in Lorain, Ohio, on February 11, 1936 shortly before a meeting to organize workers at the Dangler Division of the American Stove Company. A contemporary Daily Worker report states that he, fellow organizer Frank Cedervall, and four other IWW members were held in jail for forty-eight hours and expelled from the city. Their attorney Morris H. Wolf announced plans to sue local officials for false arrest.
