He was a union organizer, led the Ohio Hunger March in 1931, and ran for Congress on the Communist Party ticket in the 1930s. In 1961 he wrote a play, Rotten Righteousness, which he later adapted into a screenplay. Over the years he wrote countless letters to public officials and local newspapers concerning political and social matters, ranging from U.S. involvement in southeast Asia to Legionnaires' disease.
