Biography
H. Harvey was the national organizer of the Marine Workers Industrial Union. The Daily Worker of July 8, 1930 reports that he was arrested in Baltimore on an assault charge, beaten badly enough to require hospitalization, and held under $4,200 bond. Another union organizer was arrested with him. The report does not establish his full first name, exact arrest day or release.
The March 26, 1931 Daily Worker identifies H. Harvey as national organizer of the Marine Workers Industrial Union, matching the same name and specific national union office in the existing Baltimore account. It expressly reports his arrest with national secretary Harold Hynes and Frank Mitchell for circulating New Orleans longshore-strike leaflets advocating injunction defiance and mass picketing. Federal Judge Grubb imposed ten days in parish prison; that imposed term is not a measured completed stay. The printed March 28 dateline conflicts with the March 26 issue date, so no exact arrest, sentence or release day is assigned. This New Orleans leaflet prosecution is distinct from the July 1930 Baltimore assault-charge arrest.
