Biography

Harry C. Bloom was imprisoned in Connecticut following a garment-strike prosecution. He pleaded guilty on January 13, 1927, to assaulting strikebreaker Morris Marcus in New London County and received a two-to-four-year sentence. He was pardoned in 1929 after the Board of Pardons and the state's attorney concluded that he had not been present. Bloom remained imprisoned under an earlier conviction arising from another labor-related assault in Fairfield County.
