Biography

Steve Liskis, twenty-six, chose jail rather than a ten-dollar fine during the New York cafeteria strike. The May 21, 1929 newspaper reports a three-day imposed term. Actual commitment is distinguished from a completed three-day service total; the exact admission and discharge are unreported.
