Biography

W. Kircher is listed among the IWW internees held at Fort Douglas, Utah, in the December 1919 One Big Union Monthly. The roster gives union 500. This is actual administrative internment, not a criminal conviction. The source supplies no individual admission, discharge or complete time served. Printed initials and surname are preserved without expansion. The roster marks this person “Repatriated”; it gives no exact repatriation date and this is not converted into a criminal sentence or inferred discharge day.
