Biography

Sam Cluster was convicted under Oregon's criminal-syndicalism law in the 1934–35 drive that also produced the De Jonge case, sentenced to one year at Portland.

PDF page 12 reports a one-year Portland criminal-syndicalism sentence and an ILD appeal alongside the separate DeJonge and Kyle Pugh cases. It establishes an imposed term, not a full year served or an exact discharge. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/labordefender/1935/v11n01-jan-1935-orig-LD.pdf
