Biography
Edward Green was a picket at the L. A. Young Steel and Wire Company strike in Oakland, California. Page 5 reports that police arrested three workers on Wednesday, beat Heide and Green, and held the two under guard in hospital on assault-and-battery accusations. No report dateline fixes which Wednesday is intended, so no exact arrest day is assigned. The hospital custody is documented; individual discharge, conviction and duration are not.

The June 11 Oakland dispatch names Green with Paul Heide as beaten and jailed at the L. A. Young strike, accused of battery, refusing to move and resisting an officer. It also names David Harrington as arrested. This corroborates the existing strike detention, without identifying a new arrest or replacing the earlier report’s guarded-hospital placement.
