It reports sixteen days actually served for demanding milk for babies, as well as a separate Stewart Die Cast strike-picket arrest. He helped lead unemployed relief campaigns and the October 31, 1932 hunger march. The caption identifies him with his unnamed son. Exact custody endpoints are not supplied, and the printed surname spelling is retained. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1934/v11-n207-aug-29-1934-DW-LOC.pdf#page=5
