Biography
Morris Krvetz was a Chicago garment-strike picket associated with the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union. He was imprisoned for defying Judge Denis E. Sullivan's anti-picketing injunction during the 1924 garment strike. He entered Cook County Jail on June 18, 1926, and served 50 days. Union members and a welcoming committee met him when he was released in August 1926.
The June 22 report describes jail visits by Krvetz’s mother and his bride of three months. Its fifty-day sentence does not independently measure additional actual service beyond the separately documented term.
