Biography
Floyd Tyson was arrested with Charles Starocarski, Charles Skowronski and Violet Lynn at a strike meeting in Manayunk, Philadelphia on May 3, 1932. They urged the strikers to form grievance committees and organize picket lines. Company witnesses accused them of encouraging a disturbance, and the court sentenced them to ten days for disorderly conduct.
Labor Defender, July 1932, records the May 3 arrest of four Manayunk strike speakers after they urged grievance committees and picketing. It lists disorderly conduct and ten-day sentences, relying on company witnesses’ allegations of incitement. This corroborates the existing case; ten days is imposed punishment, not independently established completed service, and no May 13 release is inferred.
