Biography
Magdaleno Rodriguez led the Pecan Shelling Workers Union of San Antonio. Jamieson reports that he and several pickets were arrested and jailed for unlawful assemblage in early April 1935 as strikes spread against cuts in pecan-shelling wages. The account cites the San Antonio Light of April 8, 1935. It establishes actual jail confinement but gives no exact admission, release or completed duration.
