Biography
Owens (San Francisco speaker, 1928) was an unemployment-meeting speaker described on March 8, 1928 as twice arrested by the same policeman at Fillmore and O’Farrell, San Francisco. Both cases were dismissed; the account notes that the city required no street-meeting permit. No precise custody endpoints or measured stays are supplied. His first name is unknown; no secure bridge to similarly named workers in later Oakland or other cases is established.
