Biography

Frances Pollizzo is individually named as a woman Passaic striker given a jail sentence in the May 1927 Labor Defender appeal headed “11 Strikers Now Serving Prison Terms.” The appeal supports actual imprisonment connected with the strike but does not give her individual statutory charge, sentence length, arrest day or discharge day. The five-to-twenty-year statement about male defendants is not assigned to her. The accompanying family photograph identifies another defendant's wife and is not treated as her portrait.
