A page you started (Clarence Miller (activist)) has been reviewed!

[edit]

Thanks for creating Clarence Miller (activist), Aboudaqn! Wikipedia editor TomCat4680 just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you: "The person's date of birth and date of death need to be included." TomCat4680 (talk) 20:02, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, of course, this entry is a "stub"... and finding his birth and death dates is far easier said than done, as the subversive labor-agitator Miller fled to the Soviet Union and I've seen no evidence of his return (at least, with the name "Clarence Miller"... but I'll keep looking!

Persistence pays: Miller was born in 1906.--Aboudaqn (talk) 20:53, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fact-checking: 1930

[edit]

March and June 1930 articles in The Militant (formerly pro-Trotsky, later [[Socialist Workers Party (United States)}}) show Miller as secretary of the National Textile Workers Union, succeeded in June 1930 by William Murdoch.[1][2] – does that fit with his flight to the Soviet Union?
