Biography

Annie Berman was a New York shirtwaist-strike picket reported held for bail in December 1909.

A December 25, 1909 New York Tribune report reproduced in the ILGWU history names Annie Berman as a strike picket fined $10 by Magistrate Cornell in the Tombs Court for disorderly conduct and causing a crowd to collect. It also reports that she was held for $300 bail on an accusation of being abusive to Patrolman Dipper and then placed in the charge of a probation officer. The report supplies no precise arrest, jail-admission, discharge or complete custody duration.
