Biography

Emanuel Levine, also printed Emanuel Levin, was a war veteran and Workers Ex-Servicemen’s League leader arrested during the suppression of the Bonus Army in Washington in July 1932. The July 30 Daily Worker identifies him among those arrested at the July 29 rank-and-file veterans’ conference and held incommunicado. The August 1 issue names him and John Pace among seventeen still jailed on deportation allegations despite being described as United States citizens. ILD lawyers Schwab and Levinson obtained a habeas writ from Judge Luhring, with a hearing planned for August 2; this was not an accomplished release. Page 3 lists Levin, Pace, Eicker and Johnson for a prospective August 2 hearing on parading without a permit and disorderly conduct. His portrait is individually captioned on page 3. Exact discharge and final disposition remain unknown.
