The next day’s Daily Worker reports thirty-eight arrests and says all but Max Hein and Spyranious were released without bail. Spyranious was held under $300 bail although no accuser was present. The union reported detectives had followed him from his home to a restaurant and union headquarters. A December19 trial was prospective; no final disposition, physical release or completed duration is supplied.
