Biography
Goldie Katz was a Los Angeles garment-strike leader. Police arrested her with other strike organizers in February 1929; the union and International Labor Defense secured their release. She was later imprisoned after the 1930 unemployment demonstrations and appeared on the Labor Defender's prisoner relief roster with a six-month jail sentence.
The February 24 Los Angeles cloak-strike dispatch individually names May Lebow, Wasserman, Goldie Katz, Julius Klein and Hyman as arrested leaders whose release was secured by the union and International Labor Defense. It corroborates Katz’s existing February 1929 case without supplying individual admission or discharge days, a statutory charge or measured service.
The Behind the Bars directory on printed page 4 lists this prisoner under Los Angeles County Jail, California, with six months, 1930. This is an attributed historical directory entry: the year and nominal term do not establish an intake day, uninterrupted imprisonment, completed service or physical release.
