Biography

Philip Kagner was a member of the Needle Trades Workers Industrial Union arrested during the fur strike in early 1929. The Daily Worker of August 19, 1930, page 1, reports his recent release from Sing Sing following a felonious-assault prosecution involving a strikebreaker, which it alleges was a company-union frame-up. The body says he served fourteen months, while the headline says fifteen months; this discrepancy is retained without installing a numerical time-served counter. The source supplies no exact arrest, admission, sentence or release day. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1930/v07-n199-NY-aug-19-1930-DW-LOC.pdf
