	James Larkin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Larkin succeeded in uniting Protestant and Catholic workers, and even persuading the police to strike at one point, but the strike ended without significant success by November.
		Larkin's speeches in support of the Soviet Union, his association with founding members of the American Communist Party, and his radical publications made him a target of the "Red Scare" that was sweeping the nation, and he was jailed in 1920 for 'criminal anarchy'.
		Larkin was unsuccessful in his attempts in the following years to gain a position as a commercial agent in Ireland for the Soviet Union, and this may have contributed to his disenchantment with the communist cause.
