Call Dressmakers to Vote Down Zimmerman Clique in Local 22

NEW YORK.-Tonight, right after work, a membership meeting of Local 22 of the I.L.G.W.U. is being called at Bryant Hall, 42nd St. and 6th Avenue. At this meeting the fake "progressives," the Blustein-Zimmerman administration, which put through their "scientific" wage-cut settlement, which means starvation for the dressmakers, will once more come before the dressmakers and, under the pretense of a so-called "opposition" they will try to cover up their treachery with revolutionary phrases and ask the dressmakers to elect them once more so that they can continue to sell out and betray the dressmakers.

The left wing opposition, which has persistently carried on a fight against the class collaboration policies and has worked for unity before the strike and during the strike, calls on the workers to come to this meeting to voice their opinion against these misleaders, to nominate and elect rank and file workers who believe in a union that fights for the interests of the workers and will mobilize and lead the dressmakers in a struggle for union conditions.

Every dressmaker, member of Local 22, must come to this meeting without fail.

Dress Cutters Meet Tonight

A meeting of the dress cutters of the Industrial Union will be held tonight right after work at the union office. At this meeting the cutters will discuss the results of the dress strike and the problems confronting the dressmakers at the present time, especially the cutters. Cutters are called upon to come to this meeting and bring other workers along with them.

A general membership meeting of all dressmakers will be held on Thursday night, right after work, at Webster Hall, 11th Street and 4th Avenue. At this meeting Ben Gold, secretary of the Industrial Union, will report on the strike and the plans for building the Industrial Union and spreading the united front movement among the dressmakers.

All dressmakers are called upon to come to this meeting.
