The Left Wing Program
AS opposed to the above enum-

Lovestonites, the Left Wing Group
has followed a consistent militant
policy defending every inch OF the
dressmakers' interests.
In shops where left wingers work
the bosses receive determined re-
sistance in their attempts to force
down conditions. As result, the
Left Wing at this moment, has
thousands of followers among the
dressmakers. The Left Wing is con-
sistently exposing the maneuyers
Of the Lovestonites, together with
the other bureaucrats, as being
chiefly responsible for the worsen-
ing of the conditions of the dress
makers, soon following the strike.
In the present elections in Local

with the following program:
Strict enforcement OF the mini
mum sales provided in the agree
ment for every worker in the trade.
Against flat prices and scientific
schedule Of settling prices.
Jobber Committees 10 do away

ployed dressmakers.

Raised Illusions in the

Role of N.R.A.

The part played by the Love

Of workingclass betraysls in the
history Of the American Labor
movement. Charles Zimmerman, as
manager OF Local %, IL.G.W.U.,

In this situation there were great

was the duty of the class conscious
elements to throw themselves into
action and expose the real pur-
pose of the NRA. What did Zim-
norman and his LovestoniteS do?
Instead Of exposing the NR.A.,
Zimmerman and HICKMAN brought
10000 dreSsmakers to a Madison
Square Garden meeting which
turned into a demonstration for the
NRA. The famous strike breaker
Whalen spoke at this meeting to-
gether with Zimmerman. thinner
man. though being the head Of a
local with a membership Of about
$4,000 cannot show a single instance
where he made q serious attempt
to expose the NRA. as a bosses
weapon.
Zimmerman Gives the Bosses a
Present
In the last strike of the dress
makers a number of important con-
cessions were forced from the
bosses Immediately following the
strike the bosses began a wide cam
paign to destroy the won conditions
and bring back the sweat shop
which existed prior to the strike.
To defeat the bosses it was neces-
sary to mobilize the dreSsmakers for
militant resistance to them, and
draw in every dressmaker of ability
in the active participation in the
life of the union. Instead, the
LoVestOni,e s started ruthless
campaign against the dressmakers
who followed the militant left wing
group in the local; expulsions, in
Limitations and terror became the
order of the day.
At local union meetings every
voice Of criticism was shouted down
by zimmerman's cohorts. The Left
Wing dressmakers were prevented
from being active in the union,
while Lovestonites expelled from
the Communist Party as renegades,
who never saw the inside of a
dress shop were given all sorts of
paid jobs in the union for the pur-
