Biography
Sarah Spewack was a dress striker in New York. The Daily Worker of March 13, 1931, page 1, names Sarah Spewack, Rose Elkus and Pearl Kleinman as strikers sentenced to the workhouse by Magistrate Dwyer amid the police and court campaign against dress-strike picketing. The article discusses injunctions sought by the Jersey Dress Company and Brown Dress Company and distinguishes the three sentenced workers from May Feldman, who was held under $2,500 bail. It does not establish Sarah's statutory charge, sentence length, exact admission or release date. No identification with another person of the same name is assumed.
