Biography
Salvatore Adalchi was a New York dressmaker prosecuted with Dave Turner during the Needleman and Bremmer strike. The three were held in Bronx County Jail while awaiting sentence in April 1932. Miller and Adalchi received indeterminate terms of up to three years on Hart's Island. Garment workers organized meetings and protests demanding their release. They were released from jail on March 3, 1933.
The Daily Worker of May 29, 1931, page 1, prints Salvatori Adchi among four strikers arrested outside Needleman and Bremmer, with Tom Katsikia, Fannie Shook and Louis Stark. It reports a confrontation with strikebreakers and police but no individual statutory charge or release. This documents a May 1931 arrest report connected to the same shop; the link to the already recorded 1932 prosecution is not assumed to establish continuous custody, so no duplicate case or invented endpoint is added.
The April 20, 1932 Daily Worker explicitly places Turner, the co-defendant printed first as Salvatore Adachi and later Adolchi, and Leonard Miller in Bronx County jail awaiting sentence. It describes the Industrial Union defense campaign and an Irving Plaza protest on April 18. Sentencing scheduled that day is not a completed outcome. The inconsistent Adachi/Adolchi spellings are preserved as variants of the existing Adalchi cohort record, without a duplicate profile or invented continuous custody from the earlier strike arrests.

The June 14, 1932 Daily Worker advertises a June 15 Irving Plaza protest against sentencing of the garment-strike defendants printed Weissberg, Miller, Turner and Adlachi. The shared strike-defense cohort supplies the contextual match to the existing records; no new first names or people are invented. The notice gives no individual term, final disposition, prison-entry day or completed service and is not treated as proof that the advertised meeting occurred.

The May 5, 1932 report describes actual imprisonment in the Needleman and Bremmer strike prosecution and calls a meeting to demand their release. It attributes the case to intervention by ILGWU officials. No exact physical custody endpoints or completed total is established. Daily Worker, May 5, 1932, original PDF page 2.

The March 4, 1933 issue reports the three dress-strike prisoners printed as Leonard, Miller and Adalchi physically released the preceding day. The separately named Salvatore Adalchi in the May 5, 1932 prosecution identifies the Adalchi reference. The first two abbreviated references are not used to invent new John Miller or Nicola Salustri profiles. Exact original arrest and complete duration are not supplied.
