Biography
S. E. Davis was a Minneapolis unemployed-relief protester arrested during a September 1935 demonstration at City Hall demanding a 38 percent increase in relief. The Daily Worker of January 31, 1936 reports a 90-day sentence imposed by Judge Luther W. Youngdahl and a petition signed by 5,000 WPA workers asking the Minnesota Supreme Court to reverse it. The article does not establish the date he entered custody, whether the sentence was served or the actual release date.
