Biography
Miles Blansett, a candidate for Congress, was one of two speakers arrested when Anderson, Indiana police attacked a factory-gate antiwar meeting. Page 4’s worker correspondence describes the meeting as last Tuesday but supplies no dispatch date anchoring that weekday. Police Chief Joe Carney said he would tolerate no open-air factory-gate meetings; the Unemployment Councils and ILD protested. No charge, exact custody date, verdict, release or duration is given.

Page 1 reports congressional candidate Miles Blansett among five arrested at the Delco-Remy factory-gate meeting Tuesday, August 14, 1934. All were released on $100 bonds by the August 15 dispatch; the August 16 hearing was still future. This is a later raid than the antiwar meeting already reported in the August 8 issue, not a retrospective dating of that earlier episode.
