Larkin a Radical Leader Faces Deportation Controversy
Larkin, a renowned English speaking radical with a stormy record in Ireland and England, arrived in New York in November 1914 and has stayed since. The British government refused to receive him prompting Dublin unions to threaten a one day strike in protest. He was arrested in 1917 after an attack on the draft bill but released, and had earlier been jailed in Dublin in 1913 for inciting strike disorders, serving seven months.
