30 eviews of MARINE REVIEW Late Books Marine Labor Union Leadership, by Walter J. Petersen, paper, one volume, 56 pages, 5% x 8 inches, prepared un- der the direction of the Pacific Amer- ican Steamship association, the Ship- owner’s Association of the Pacific Coast and the Waterfront Employers’ union, by the general manager of the marine service bureau of the state of California. Copies issued free on re- quest to above at 336 Battery street, San Francisco. This book according to the author is intended to present a truthful state- ment of conditions affecting marine employment generally and to counter- act misleading statements made by in- terested persons concerning the op- eration of ships of the American mer- chant marine. The author has had years of experience in marine employ- ment and asserts that he has tried in this book to be just to all concerned. Though somewhat controversial in tone throughout, an interesting and vivid review of labor union activities over a period of many years in the marine field is presented. The per- sonality of Andrew Furuseth looms largely in union activities and is a source of constant concern to the owner and operator. In the work of the employment service bureau it is maintained that the principle of the square deal is adhered to under all cir- cumstances and that it acts as ar- bitrator between both sides, impar- tially giving out only even-handed justice. As long as such principles are its guide it will endure and be accorded the respect and commenda- tion of both the employer and _ the March, 1926 man who earns his living by going down to the sea in ships. This is the American way and it should pre- vail. A third edition of “Standards of the Hydraulic Society” has just been issued by the Hydraulic society. In addition to the information contained in earlier editions, this book incor- porates much new data such as stand- ard classification of pumps; standard nomenclature and definitions pertain- ing to the industry; standard dimen- sions for cast iron flanges and cast iron flanged reducers for 125-pound and 250-pound steam pressures as adopted by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers; a complete list of chemicals and other special liquids, specifying the materials recommend- ed in the construction of pumps for handling these special liquids.
