UNION officials emphasized the
danger of fatalistic attitude
about the anti-labor bills intro
duced in Congress on the part of
union members and leaders.
They pointed out that it is
precisely such an attitude that
the congressional hatchet-gang
hopes to create in order to sue
coed in its legislative plans.
Stressing the need for unity in
the present situation, they say
that the MANS plans for legal"
trait-jackets for the labor move
ment can be thwarted if a united
mobilization of labor strength
makes it plain enough to the men
in Washington that American
workers will not accept the hang
mans rope now being offered by
the congressional executioners.

means to fight the current threat.
A significant feature of the dis
cussion was the applause greet
ing delegates who spoke in ia
vor of joint action with other I'M
ions and partit ipation in a ma
tional conference proposed by
CLIO president Philip Murray.
Most CLIO unions have already
started letter-writing and peti
ton campaigns to Chicago con-
gressmen, and Indicated that the
campaign would be intensified
during the next week. The Chica-
go CLIO Council was also expected
to make ways and means of ex,

people to Chicago legislators the

January 16 meeting.

What's the Origin?

Gone the green side OF the
United States one-dollar bill there
is a circular design showing a
pyramid with a large eye at its
apex, and there are two Latin in
scriptions. Will you please explain
this?-A. F. C.
A.-The left-hand circle on the
green side contains the reverse Of
the Great Seal of the United States.
The masonry pyramid is symbolic
of the strength and unity of the
nation. The Roman numerals on the
base of the pyramid, MDCCLxxVI,
represent the year 1776. The eye
above the pyramid is symbolic Of
the protection and approving eye Of
God. The inscription at the top.
