Biography

Madge Kolin was a young worker arrested when police broke up a meeting at the Young Communist League headquarters in Hammond, Indiana, on the night of February 16, 1930. The Daily Worker of February 18, page 1, in a February 17 dispatch, names Madge Kolin, Erie Thompson and Paul Bucha among four arrestees. Police claimed that the young workers had tried to remove Sergeant Edward Warner from the hall; the newspaper characterized him as an informer. The source gives no individual formal charge, sentence, place or length of confinement, or eventual release.
