Biography
Joseph Baker supported the 1936 RCA-Victor strike in Camden, New Jersey. Police arrested him while he sat in his car and refused an order to move. Justice Lloyd treated the alleged traffic obstruction as participation in an unlawful enterprise and set bail at $4,000. Defense attorney Abraham Isserman challenged the authorities' refusal to explain the charges against the strike prisoners.
The Camden report describes police arresting Baker while he sat in his car and refused to move, and Justice Lloyd setting $4,000 bail for the alleged unlawful enterprise. This corroborates his existing case. Baker is not individually placed among the final twenty-four released hunger strikers solely from the article’s group chronology.
