Biography
John Zilic was an unemployed steel worker and International Labor Defense organizer. Page 3 reports his arrest after a McKeesport meeting addressed by Mother Mooney and Richard Moore, where steel workers supported Tom Mooney and the Scottsboro defendants. Police and Mayor McVey cross-examined him in Clairton. The source does not state an exact arrest or release day, formal charge, court outcome or detention duration. The given name John and organizing context distinguish this record from Anton Zilich, the Bulger Block coal-strike defendant.
