Biography
Lillian Greenberg was a Chicago garment-strike picket associated with the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union. The authorities imprisoned this union activist in 1926 for defying the anti-picketing injunction during the 1924 strike.
The June 19, 1926 Chicago garment-prisoner account adds personal and prison-life detail. The report describes a reception by sixty union members after her actual release following ten days in jail, with flowers and a planned gold fountain pen. Her intended Bryn Mawr summer course was prospective. This issue does not print a physical discharge day or justify back-calculating admission.

The June 22 report says that after her completed ten-day service Greenberg was actually studying economics at the Bryn Mawr Summer School, adding an accomplished educational step to earlier plans.

Calculated incarceration date for the stay ending June 18, 1926: June 8, 1926. This is obtained by subtracting the reported 10 days actually served from the release date, using elapsed-day counting. It is a calculated date, not a separately documented admission date.
