Biography

Louis Fazzio was named in the detailed Canonsburg coal-strike trial roster concerning the July19,1931 confrontation. The page1 bulletin and detailed trial roster disagree: the bulletin lists MaryRasefski,StanleyBarko,MikeSkwarlo,MikeSholtz and BessieKowlenski,while the detailed account lists StellaRasefske,EdgarGreene,HenryStark,WillMcQueen,JuliusHollis and LouisFazzio. No unsupported individual conviction is inferred from this conflict. The report establishes prosecution but does not give a complete personal custody interval.

The November 24, 1931 Daily Worker explicitly lists Louis Fazzio among the workers then serving sentences at Blawnox for their miners-strike activity. This supplies evidence of actual confinement following the previously documented Canonsburg prosecution despite the earlier conflicting trial rosters. The November roster does not establish his exact individual verdict wording, nominal sentence, admission, release or total custody.
