Biography

Page 4 identifies Pedro Martinez as organizer of the Food Workers Industrial Union's cafeteria department. He was sentenced to six months to three years for malicious mischief arising from the Adele Cafeteria strike at Seventh Street and Second Avenue. The paper calls the prosecution a frame-up, reporting that two alibi witnesses said he was asleep at home, while the owner's relatives testified against him. Three special-sessions judges imposed the term. The article supplies neither actual release nor completed service.
