Biography

Philadelphia district ILD organizer Edward Bender was arrested at the ILD office amid the defense campaign for Willie Brown. The April 7 dispatch describes three outdoor meetings, four other workers released from inciting-to-riot accusations, and calls for Bender’s immediate release. It supplies no charge or exact arrest day for Bender and no final disposition. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1932/v09-n084-NY-apr-08-1932-DW-LOC.pdf#page=3
