Biography
Irving Kreitzberg was individually named among workers arrested during the week preceding the Los Angeles August 1, 1929 antiwar demonstration. The report connects the campaign with distribution of handbills and preparations for the meeting, but supplies no personal statutory charge, exact arrest or release day, sentence or completed duration.

Pages 1 and 5 report the Los Angeles unemployment-demonstration retrial before Judge Wood. Sklar's county-jail letter describes challenges to class/race exclusion in the jury, the judge dispensing with a stenographer and threatening note-takers, and actual dismissal of Sklar and Spector from this separate prosecution. Horiuchi was expressly retained despite the same reported forty-two-year Imperial Valley term; that aggregate characterization does not replace differing documented sentence ranges or become time served. Horiuchi and Kreitzberg obtained self-representation; Kiosz faced a threatened contempt penalty for smiling, not an imposed new term. The remaining seven included Horiuchi, A. Yamaguchi, Hoxie, Rose Becker, Kiosz, Joe Holub and Kreitzberg. July disagreement and Martin's acquittal precede this retrial; exact personal custody endpoints remain unknown.
