Call on Dressmakers to
Support Entire Left
Wing Slate Tomorrow

NEW NOTWITHSTANDING
dress shop groups have come
out openly with a statement
supporting the candidacy of
Morris Stamper as manager
secretary of Local % of the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union and in support of the entire
left-wing slate and against the
"Lovestoneite fake Communist poll
tics" as practiced by Sasha zim-
norman, present manager of
Local %.
The statement, issued in leaflet
form and distributed throughout the
shops of the city, reads in part as
follows:
"Dressmakers of Local %: Save
the union and the union conditions
by voting for the Left Wing candi-
dates. Defeat the Zimmerman adj
ministration and you defeat the
scientific schedule
eve, the dressmakers who want
to make living in the shops and
do not want to be a football for
zimmerman's Lovestoneite fake
Communist politics, have only one
choice in this election. We must
support and vote for the Left Wing
candidates.
''We, the dressmakers from our
shops can judge the real record of
the Zimmerman administration
What is this record?
1.-The strike of last summer was
won, thanks to the militancy and
unity of all dressmakers, but Zim-
norman helped the reactionary
leaders Of our union to refer to the
NR.A., the vital demand for limita-
ton of contractors, with the re-
suit that the NR.A. killed our de-
mand.
THE Zimmerman administration
is responsible for criminally neg
lecting at least 1900 complaints
and today 30 business agents of
Local %, and 40 more of the Joint
Board, are going around to the
shops electioneering instead Of at
tending to our problems in the
shops.
Zimmerman has approved the
treacherous scientific schedule
which will destroy our minimums
and our price committees. He ever
tried to fool us by keeping his action
secret until after election. But
thanks to the Left Wing, this piece
of treachery was exposed.
1.-THE Zimmerman administration
has lined up with the most reac-
tionary leaders in our union, with
the Hochmans and Dubinskys. who
split and ruined our union in 1925
He is even endorsed by the union
breaking Forward and Socialist
Party clique which also endorses
Perlmutter, Breslawer and the other
reactionaries of the union. This
shows that the Zimmerman fake
progressive group has become part
and parcel of the most reactionary
elements in our union.
Zimmerman and his administra
ton have been suspending and
eliminating members who don't
agree with him. The same thinner
man fake progressives in the other
locals are cooperating with the re-
dictionary officials in eliminating
and suspending members who are
fighting for the rights of the dress
makers.
Zimmerman cannot deny that
thousands of Negro and Spanish
speaking dressmakers are suffering
from the determinations practisec
against them by the bosses, and thai
his administration has done nothing
to stop it.
Therefore, we the dressmakers oil
the undersigned SO shops, declare
that Zimmerman and his admin
istration stand condemned by theil
own silence on the vital problems
They have raised false and hypo.
critical issues, but they have failed
to answer or discuss a single prob.
lem we, the dressmakers, are facet
with in the shops and in the union
They have not acted as responsible
leaders On the contrary, they have
PLAYED dirty politics at the expense
of our interests.
'Dressmskers: We are faced with
serious dangers. The bosses art
making every effort to rob us o,
