Foster to Headline First of 22 Communists Trial in Michigan
William Z. Foster editor of the Labor Herald of Chicago and veteran liberal activist will be the first of 22 alleged communists to face trial at St. Joseph Michigan. The outcome of his case could affect the remaining defendants. Foster was arrested after Michigan deputies and federal agents raided a woods gathering on August 22 last year. He was extradited on testimony of the raid. Walsh argues Foster may not have attended the convention and that a plot by the Burns agency and DOJ agents, at the behest of United States Steel, framed him.
