Police court sentences stir IWW activity at Mobile port

Mills had earlier been fined 1000 dollars and six months hard labor for violating the anti boycott act but appealed and was freed in circuit court. Fifteen IWW members, jailed after a hunger strike, remained a police concern as officials report IWW activity disrupting shipping and port work. A DOJ agent was sent to Mobile to investigate.
