Biography
Edith Sherr was a millinery worker jailed for picketing in New York. The December 13, 1928 Daily Worker reports her release from Welfare Island the previous day after Judge Reynard had sentenced her to five days the preceding Saturday. A delegation of Local 43 millinery workers met her at the 86th Street station. The report establishes actual confinement and physical release on December 12, 1928, but does not expressly give a jail-admission date or a separately stated completed duration; the five-day sentence is not converted into a served counter.
