Donald Bingham

Donald Bingham was one of the first workers arrested during the Vacaville agricultural strike. A January 17, 1933 dispatch in the next day's Daily Worker reports that he was out on $6,000 bail provided by the International Labor Defense, with his trial scheduled for January 19 in Fairfield. The report does not identify his charge or supply the outcome. The source does not establish unreported custody endpoints or total time actually served.

The February 15, 1935 Daily Worker individually identifies Donald Bingham among the Sacramento criminal-syndicalism defendants. Its account alleges that his arrest resulted directly from Norman Mini's statement; that disputed partisan allegation is attributed to the paper, not adopted as an independently established fact. This Sacramento prosecution is separate from Bingham's earlier Vacaville case. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1935/v12-n040-Nat-feb-15-1935-DW-LOC.pdf#page=2

A Sacramento defense statement dated February 27, 1935, printed in the Daily Worker on March 5, included this defendant among fourteen signers. The statement defended the International Labor Defense and its conduct of the trial and bail campaign against factional criticism. It also named Luther Mincy and John Fisher as acquitted about a week before the statement. Its allegations about other defendants’ cooperation with police are partisan claims, not independently established facts.
