Today in Labor History May 16, 1918: Congress passed the Sedition Act against radicals and pacifists, leading to the arrest, imprisonment, execution and deportation of dozens of unionists, anarchists and communists. The law forbade the use of “disloyal, profane, scurrilous, or abusive” language about the U.S. government, its flag, or it military. The mainstream press supported the act, despite the significant limitations it imposed on free speech and of press freedom. In June, 1918, the government arrested Eugene Debs for violating the act by undermining the government’s conscription efforts. He served 18 months in prison. Congress repealed the act in 1920, since world War I had ended. However, Attorney General, A. Mitchell Palmer, lobbied for a peacetime version of it. Additionally, he continued to round up labor activists, communists and anarchist for seditious behavior, particularly Wobblies, or members of the IWW. For example, they convicted Marie Equi for giving a speech at the IWW hall in Portland, Oregon after WWI had ended. Today, President Trump is attempting to bring it back with decrees forbidding criticism of the U.S. government, capitalism, traditional marriage, Israel, and even fascism, while also forbidding speech in support of transgender rights and safety.

Today in Labor History April 14, 1925: Rod Steiger, one of America’s greatest actors, was born on this day. He co-starred in On the Waterfront, as Brando’s older brother, Charlie. He won an academy award as the police chief, opposite Sidney Poitier, in the film In the Heat of the Night. And he played a Mexican bandit and unwitting revolutionary in Sergio Leone’s, Fist Full of Dynamite. He was an outspoken critic of the House Unamerican Activities Committee Communist witch hunt and the purge of left leaning actors and writers in Hollywood. He was critical of Charlton Heston’s stance on weapons.
