Biography
Irving Bell was a California Cotton Mills strike picket in Oakland. The August 17, 1936 Western Worker, page 1, reports Irving Bell arrested after resisting an attack by strikebreakers. The report places Bell’s arrest on Wednesday and Rose’s on Thursday of the preceding week, August 12 and 13. It says the ILD was to seek bail for Rose from city jail; this plan does not prove release. No formal charge, conviction or completed custody total is reported.
