Biography

Adam Barwinski was a striking miner from Nanticoke. The Daily Worker, February 21, 1935, page 2, continuing a February 20 Wilkes-Barre dispatch, reports that Judge Valentine sentenced him and a fellow striker the previous day to one year and a $100 fine. The report places the proceeding within the Glen Alden strike crackdown. It does not specify his statutory charge, exact arrest or physical jail admission, release, or actual time served. The February 19 sentencing date is derived from the dispatch’s yesterday reference.
