Biography
Eleanor Sadlowski was a Chicago garment-strike picket associated with the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union. The authorities imprisoned this union activist in 1926 for defying the anti-picketing injunction during the 1924 strike.
The June 19, 1926 Chicago garment-prisoner account adds personal and prison-life detail. The report describes her sick ten-year-old son and sick husband, whom the Chicago Joint Board was helping while she was imprisoned. It does not independently revalidate a stored actual-service total.

The June 25 report describes thirteen freed garment workers offering three additional jail days each to shorten the forty-five-day sentences then reported for Sadlowski and Cieslakiewicz. The warden refused. Forty-five is the issue’s stated nominal punishment; the rejected proposal changes neither actual service nor later independently documented release.

The same report describes Sadlowski as the mother of a ten-year-old son; this is reported family background and does not make the child a prisoner. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1926/1926-ny/v03-n140-NY-jun-25-1926-DW-LOC.pdf#page=2
