Jenny Cohen was arrested during the New York fur-market strike demonstration described on page 3 of the June 12, 1933 Daily Worker. The report follows a Saturday strikers’ meeting and describes mass picketing, police escorts for the Weiner brothers at the Geller shop, and Cohen’s arrest. Saturday corresponds to June 10. No formal charge, conviction, jail intake, release or measured duration is supplied. The event-qualified record does not assert an identity link to another Cohen.
