Biography
Rose Kaplan was a Cafeteria Workers’ Union activist in New York. During the union’s organizing and picketing campaign, the March 13, 1930 Daily Worker reported that she had been released from Welfare Island after serving five days.
A later food-workers’ malicious-mischief case involved renewed bail and refusal to dismiss after a jury split eight to four. That split is not an acquittal. This is separate from the earlier five-day cafeteria-picket imprisonment. Daily Worker, May 24, 1930, page 5.

The May 24 food-workers’ account describes renewed bail on a malicious-mischief accusation after an eight-to-four jury deadlock. It establishes another prosecution, without a final conviction or exact physical custody endpoints. Daily Worker, May 24, 1930, page 5.

Rose Kaplan was a Cafeteria Workers’ Union activist in New York. During the union’s organizing and picketing campaign, the March 13, 1930 Daily Worker reported that she had been released from Welfare Island after serving five days. Actually released from Welfare Island after serving five days, as individually reported March 13, 1930. The original report does not establish the arrest, admission or discharge day, or a formal charge. The nearby eight dismissed defendants and six new picket arrests are not assumed to include Kaplan.
