Biography

Eddie Blakely was a Toledo worker prosecuted for violating the anti-picketing injunction during the 1934 Auto-Lite strike. He was among the strikers brought before Judge Stuart and spoke during the proceedings. Attorney Edward Lamb defended the workers for the International Labor Defense. The prosecution formed part of the effort to enforce the injunction as mass picketing confronted police and the National Guard.
