Biography
Peoria police broke up an Illinois Workers Alliance street meeting on July 21, 1936 and arrested speaker Roscoe Sullivan because the mayor had refused a permit. He was held overnight and released without charges the next morning, July 22. The Alliance had applied in advance and protested to the city council.
