Biography

The Daily Worker of March 1, 1934, page 3, identifies Julius Crane as an organizer of the United Shoe and Leather Workers Union. It reports that detectives seized him and three Kirchik-Beckerman strikers at the strike headquarters on Tuesday, February 27, on felonious-assault charges, and reports the strikers held under $1,500 bail each. This establishes current physical detention; the complete custody duration and release date are unknown.

The April 9, 1934 Daily Worker spells his name Julius Krane and identifies him as the recently elected stitchdown-department organizer in the same Kirchick-Beckerman shoe strike. It reports that he faced a possible long sentence; no completed sentence or uninterrupted custody through April is established.
