Biography

P. Aedaya was a Tampa cigar worker whom the prisoners’ letter in the February 1933 Labor Defender identifies among workers actually jailed and deported amid repression of the Tampa Tobacco Worker Industrial Union. The letter reports removals to Cuba and alleges union membership was enough for immigration targeting. Its general nine-or-ten-month formulation is not an individually measured custody duration; exact arrest, departure and final outcome dates are not supplied. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/labordefender/1933/v09n02-feb-1933-lab-def.pdf#page=9 The limited printed name is retained without expansion; the contextual qualifier distinguishes this historical record.

Case

Charges: Immigration deportation proceedings linked by prisoners’ letter to suspected Tampa tobacco-union membership.
