The September 6, 1935 Voice of the Federation reports his arrest while distributing leaflets protesting the Santa Rosa attacks for an American League Against War and Fascism meeting. International Labor Defense posted his bail and secured his release. He received a suspended five-day sentence. The report does not quantify his actual detention; the suspended term is not recorded as days served. Source: https://archive.ilwu.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/19350906.pdf#page=5
