Biographical History
Labor leader.
Nat Ganley, born Nathan Kaplan in 1919, was an active Communist most of his life, serving early in the Communist youth movement and in the 1940s on the National Committee of the Communist Party. Ganley was active in the labor movement too, helping to organize the National Textile Workers in New England; later in Detroit he helped found UAW Local 155 and edited its newspaper.
Saul Wellman, Ganley's friend, also was active in the Michigan Communist Party. Wellman, a Spanish Civil War veteran, worked to promote Communism within Detroit auto plants.
