Biography

The July 16, 1934 Western Worker’s Portland July 2 dispatch reports an ILD anniversary meeting elected a committee to demand the seaman Romanov’s release from county jail. It states he had been held five months on instigation of the immigration department. The surname is read in the enlarged native image; no given name, exact arrest or physical discharge, imposed term or complete measured duration is supplied. The reported five-month elapsed confinement is approximate, not an exact-day custody interval. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/westernworker/1934/v3-n27-31-jul-1934.pdf#page=10
