Biography
George Weiss was a New York fur worker arrested during the March 1930 conflict around the B. Axel & Co. strike at 333 Seventh Avenue. The March 15 Daily Worker alleges that armed men associated with the AFL Furriers Joint Council attacked the picket line while police assisted or failed to intervene. It reports Weiss arrested while leaving his shop at lunchtime, and subsequently taken with Irving Potash to the district attorney for examination. The article inconsistently uses this morning and yesterday for the assault chronology, so no exact arrest day is selected. The report gives no individual charge, final disposition, physical release or complete duration.
