This memorandum was written by B.S. Keusseff to David S. Groh for military intelligence and plant protection regarding Bolshevik activity in Detroit, Michigan. It comes from a file on "Bolshevik Agitation" from the War Department Plant Protection Section, reflecting their concern with ensuring that manufacturing plants connected to war production in the homefront during World War I stayed in business. Labor activists and agitators believed to be affiliated with communist or socialist causes came under close scrutiny. This document was digitized by teachers in our Primarily Teaching 2015 Summer Workshop in Chicago.
This primary source comes from the Records of the War Department General and Special Staffs.
