Samuel Silver was a New York taxi driver arrested after asking to speak at a Bronx Taxi Drivers Union meeting during a dispute over affiliation to the American Federation of Labor. The Daily Worker of April 11, 1934, page 2, reports that he was beaten, turned over to police and taken to a station. Frankel, identified as a Bronx local leader, accused him of inciting to riot. The paper says the case was subsequently thrown out of court. It supplies neither the exact arrest or dismissal date nor a physical release time.
