Funeral services were held here today for Abe Miller, secretary-treasurer of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America’s New York Joint Board and a national vice-president of the union. He died last Wednesday at 76.
His activity in the labor movement goes back to the New York garment workers strike of 1912, and to the founding of the Amalgamated, in 1914.
The Jewish Labor Committee, of which Mr. Miller was one of the founders 30 years ago, and the Workmen’s Circle, to which he had belonged since 1908, issued statements mourning his passing.
