Biography

Harry Lockwood was a truck drivers’ union picket jailed in Kansas City, Missouri during a 1936 organizing struggle. The Daily Worker of February 25 reported that he was held on $10,000 bond on a robbery charge. Police alleged that he led men who stopped trucks; union secretary-treasurer L. C. Oliver called the charge a bum rap and maintained Lockwood’s innocence. His final disposition and actual release date are unresolved.
