Biography

Chester Chore was arrested outside Ohrbach's department store at Union Square, New York, during the May 16, 1936 confrontation over labor picketing. The Daily Worker reports that he was held on $25 bail on an assault charge. The article attributes broader brutality allegations to protesters and witnesses; it supplies no individual verdict, sentence, completed bail release or custody duration.
