Biography
Morris Modin was among six Zelgreen cafeteria pickets who had served disorderly-conduct terms and remained jailed awaiting Paragraph 600 proceedings. The November 8, 1930 Daily Worker reports the case dismissed after contradictory employer testimony and their actual release. The men described six to a cell without blankets, cold exposure and threats; Blanca and Modin were beaten while taken to court. Individual earlier sentence lengths and exact physical discharge day are not supplied. Source: https://www.marxists.org/history/usa/pubs/dailyworker/1930/v07-n269-NY-nov-08-1930-DW-LOC.pdf#page=2
The November 8 Daily Worker names Morris Modin among the Zelgreen pickets actually released after dismissal. The report establishes the month but uses conflicting relative days for the court proceedings; the precise discharge day and total custody remain unresolved.
