Biography

Morris Lauber was arrested during the 1932 New York furriers strike. The September16,1932 Daily Worker reports that he was out on bail facing a homicide charge, characterized by the newspaper as a frame-up. Rabbit-fur workers of Local58 voted at their Wednesday membership meeting to contribute fifty cents each to his defense, and a defense committee was arranging a conference. The article establishes an arrest and subsequent bail release, but does not specify the underlying homicide, exact custody endpoints, eventual verdict or time served.
