Biography

Dick Allander was an unemployed organizer held in Trinidad, Colorado on a vagrancy accusation. The August 29, 1934 Daily Worker reports heavy bond and three postponements of his trial. It alleges that officials sought false testimony claiming relief-campaign funds were used personally, which workers refused to provide. The issue supports actual continuing detention without establishing the precise arrest, bond amount, final disposition or complete time served.
