Biography
ILD organizer Fred Bell was arrested after opening the hunger-march meeting from a truck at the Blawnox workhouse gates. The paper reports police and machine guns, and identifies truck driver John Patsik as arrested too. This Pennsylvania labor organizer is distinct from the later Texas defendant Fred Bell / Fahim Minkah.
