Biography

Michael J. Quill was president of the Transport Workers Union. A Brooklyn grand jury indicted him on three criminal-libel counts on February 11, 1954 over union publications concerning a former organizer. Police booked him at the Butler Street station, and he pleaded not guilty before being paroled to his lawyer’s custody that day. The court dismissed the indictment in the interest of justice on January 14, 1958.
