Biography

Harry Rosenberg, an active member of Amalgamated Meat Cutters Local 665, was arrested April 3, 1936 during its strike at the Municipal Markets store on 149th Street. The union said he had defended himself against strikebreakers. The August 21 report says the Bronx Supreme Court imposed ten days or a fifty-dollar fine on Tuesday, August 18, on an alleged felonious-assault charge; the union paid the fine and he was released. No exact physical discharge day or complete detention length is supplied. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1936/v13-n201-NY-aug-21-1936-DW-Q.pdf#page=3
