Biography
Larry Levy was a striking shoe salesman in the Kitty Kelly dispute, represented by Retail Shoe Salesmen’s Union Local 1268 in New York. The union’s contemporary account individually places him among pickets arrested at the Fordham store Saturday, August 8, 1936. The union alleged that police selected recognized strikers for arrest while ignoring a citizens’ support line. Cases were scheduled for Bronx Magistrates Court later that week; the report establishes actual arrest, not a completed hearing, conviction, release or measured jail term.

The report individually names Levy and Lou Rose arrested Friday May 29 at the Fourteenth Street Kitty Kelly store and released that night. This earlier arrest is distinct from the August 8 Fordham-store episode already recorded. No exact custody hours or final verdict is supplied.
