Biography
Rose Goodman was a Chicago garment-strike picket associated with the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union. The authorities imprisoned this union activist in 1926 for defying the anti-picketing injunction during the 1924 strike.
Daily Worker, June 15, 1926, page 1: The front-page report names this picket among those beginning terms at Cook County Jail under Judge Denis E. Sullivan for violating the injunction during the 1924 garment strike. Individual listed sentence: 10 days and a $125 fine. She supported three children. About four hundred fellow union members accompanied the defendants and red carnations were handed out. The article’s relative “today” does not establish an exact physical admission day. This is the already recorded 1926 imprisonment; later release evidence and any conflicting duration reports remain in the existing case.

The June 19, 1926 Chicago garment-prisoner account adds personal and prison-life detail. The report describes three young children and a husband who left his job to care for them during her imprisonment. Its ten-day nominal term does not itself remeasure completed service documented elsewhere.

The June 25, 1926 report includes her among thirteen freed garment workers who offered to spend three additional days in jail so that Eleanor Sadlowski and Victoria Cieslakiewicz could serve less of their longer sentences. The warden refused. The offer therefore supplies solidarity history, not three additional actual days, a reduced term or another case.
