Biography
Velma Stark was one of three young workers arrested at the August 1, 1929 Hancock antiwar street meeting and charged with criminal syndicalism. The August 5 dispatch says they were arraigned the preceding Friday before Judge Rouleau and remained held under five-thousand-dollar bonds each. A first hearing on August 9 was prospective; neither release nor a sentence is established.
