Biography

Frank Godlasky was imprisoned at South Dakota State Penitentiary during the era of South Dakota's criminal-syndicalism prosecutions of the IWW. He appears on the International Labor Defense's rosters of American class-war prisoners in Labor Defender (1926-27); like most of the rank-and-file labor prisoners of the period, little else about his case entered the historical record.
