Biography

Baltimore agent for this newspaper and maritime unionist is explicitly reported arrested several times during the 1934 strike and spending eighty-three days on the picket line. It also reports union-faction thugs later broke his ribs and blackened his eyes. Eighty-three is strike activity, not a custody total; no arrest day, charge or release is printed.
