Biography
John Sassato was an active Agricultural Workers League member arrested during the 1931 cranberry pickers’ strike in Plympton, Massachusetts. A worker’s account in the Daily Worker, October 15, 1931, page 3 describes the Bryantville, Monponsitt and Plympton organizing campaign and says police framed Sassato on a trespassing allegation. The characterization of a frame-up is the correspondent’s claim. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1931/v08-n248-NY-oct-15-1931-DW-LOC.pdf
