Mr.. Zimmermans--Actions Speak
Louder Than Words
BY GRoPPEE

Zimmerman in his statement writes about the
miserable conditions facing the workers in our
trade He writes of the fact that not a single
measure was adopted at the convention which
aims to improve the conditions of the workers.
But not a single word did he say in his state
ment about the treacherous role of his fake pro-
gressive delegation at the convention the delega-
ton whose leader and guide he was, the dele
CATION which on every important issue went
hand in hand with the Dubinskys and Bress-
laus.
Cheer failing of Workers
These fake progressive delegates just like the
others rose to their feet glowing with enthusi-
asm over the statement of HICKMAN that he
was sent a letter demanding the impriso nment
of the workers of the Industrial Union, whom
Zimmerman and his allies know as class con-
scious militant workers, and voted to throw the
telegram demanding their release into the waste
basket
These fake progressive delegates, just like the
Schlessingers, Bresslaus, Dubinksys and Fem
bergs cheered the bloody Mayor Moore (who
only few days ago carried through a pogrom
on the unemployed workers., cheered Matthew
Vol and McGrady, and helped to create
lynching party against the left wing delegates
who voted against the fake strike and proposed
the mobilization of the cloakrnakers for real
strike for union conditions under rank and file
control.
Not single word did Zimmerman have to
say against his fake progressive allies who voted
support and sympathy for the counter-revolu-
tionists in the Soviet Union, who voted down
every resolution that dealt with the real prob
lens confronting the workers in our trade and
TIE working class generally.
Against Rank and File.
Zimmerman did not have single word to say
against his fake progressives who even voted
down their resolution for placing rank and file
members on the GEB. which they themselves
had proposed at the local meeting.
Zimmerman Sneers.
Zimmerman characterized the earnest desire
of the workers and of the Industrial Union for
united strike as Communist maneuver'
He who had been fought most bitterly when he
was in the ranks of the revolutionary movement
was put forth as the spokesman of the reaction
airy treacherous International machine. His for
uns and lectures were advertised in the yellow
Forward, in the Tammany Day.
This was done at time when he knew well
that the international Machine of which he
was part was planning to put through the
same fake as the 1880 with even greater wage
cuts and greater concessions of the bosses.
IneSe 1aCJS were DrOugIlJ 10 ugnJ by ZlHl-
norman himself in his famous articles in the
Day.
Zimmerman was the one when HICKMAN en-
trusted with the job of attempting to break up
the united front conference on the eve of the
dress strike.
And now how do zimmerman's acts today
compare with the beautiful words we find In his
statement? Only last Tuesday night when the
left wing delegates introduced a resolution call
ing on Local % to invite the Industrial Union
to a conference to work out plans for united
mass organization drive and to submit these
plans to o united conference Of the shop dele
Gates Of all shops OF tic International The M
dustrial Union and open shops, Zimmerman
sneered and laughed at the call for united strug-
gle against the boss, which is head from the
mouths of the thousands of suffering and en-
shaved dressmakers The dressmakers and the
workers generally will Judge Zimmerman by hia
acts, not by his words ---,----,----
