Biography
Stefan "Steve" Cojerean was one of five Detroit workers sentenced to 90 days in jail for holding a workers' meeting, pictured in the July 1930 Labor Defender — which printed his surname as "Coperean." A May 22, 1930 Daily Worker report names Powers, Raymond and Cojerean as arrested together at a factory-gate meeting outside the Briggs plant, and other period records give his name as Stefan (Steve) Cojerean of Detroit, a Daily Worker supporter as early as 1927. The Labor Defender caption supplied only surnames; this record now carries his identified full name, with the misprinted form preserved as an alias.
