Biography
John Vasey was a Young Communist League speaker arrested while addressing workers outside Racine City Hall during the campaign for permission to hold the August 1, 1933 anti-war demonstration. The August 9 Daily Worker reports that he was later released for lack of evidence in a courtroom packed with workers. The article places this episode in the permit struggle before August 1 but supplies no exact arrest or release day.
