Biography
R. D. Hudson was secretary of the NewYork branch of the Marine Workers Industrial Union. Police arrested him at the Seamen’s Church Institute on March22,1931 after he protested the beating and expulsion of a union member and demanded food and lodging for unemployed seamen. The Daily Worker of March25 reports a disorderly-conduct charge for interrupting divine services, $500 bail, and prompt release through International Labor Defense efforts. The final court disposition is unestablished.
