VL: Al Speede?

[Max Nemtsov]

dear colleagues, does anyone have an idea who Al Speede was, mentioned 
on p. 291 of Vineland?

" Then there was Wade, my ol' canasta partner and picket-line buddy, 
fighting shoulder to shoulder all those years, one day he went over, and 
we stayed friends, and finally you saw what'd it matter who'd be taking 
those dues off the paycheck, Al Speede's people, th' IATSE, whatever."

google doesn't seem to know him
thank you
Mx
