Chicago Gives HiIIman Cold Meeting

discussion of policies in the union. He
pointed out that it was the left wing
locals that adopted resolutions against
wage cuts, readjustments and reorgan-
ization of the garment and that these
left wing locals would still continue to
fight and adopt resolutions on every
live issue that comes before the union,
and that they would bring the Anal
gamated back to the old fighting
spirit.
frank and File" HiIIman.
Hillman than asked for the floor to
answer not as a union official, but as
a rank and file member Of this local"
He launched into whining explana-
tion Of his speech. do you know that
in the last four years we lost 10000
members in Chicago?" confessed Hill
man. How can we maintain condi-
tions? The law Of competition is
stronger than our will. We have to
meet them IN just manner" He
then launched into another attack on
the left wing, who see thru his policy
of bowling down to the garment bosses.
Dodees Left Winger.
AS one of the left wingers took the
floor, the chair announced that only
questions and not discussion would
be permitted. The left winger asked
Hillman: Brother Hillman, who do
you refer to when you say some one
came to Chicago before the agreement
was signed and told the bosses we are
weak and tried to interfere with our
work."
Hillman did not dare answer this
question so his henchman Levine
jumps to the floor and started to
answer" for Sidney. When the left
winger declared that he wanted Hill
man and not Levine to answer the
question, Levine declared, I'm in
Chicago and will answer the ques-
ton" He then attacked the Chicago
left wing and made no attempt to
answer the question. The meeting,
unable to stand the lies Of Levine and
Hillman, ended in turmoil. Outside
of the hall attempts were made by the
sluggers, employed by the Hillman-
Levine machine to get" the left
wingers who dared to criticize their
policies.
