Biography

Jartjes was among six workers arrested and held in San Pedro on assault, riot and arson charges during the May 1934 waterfront strike. The source identifies the striker by surname alone. A May 17 dispatch reports that all six were bailed out on $1,000 each. It does not expand Jartjes’s given name or establish the individual arrest day, physical discharge day, later verdict or complete confinement duration.
