Biography

Bill Greene is individually identified in the front row of the photograph of National Miners Union strike leaders jailed under the criminal-syndicalism law at Pineville. The paper reports continuing detention and threats against the prisoners, but no exact intake, physical release or individual sentence. The printed name is retained without merging with another person on name resemblance alone.
