Although details of the settlements which employees voted to accept are not yet available, it is known that beyond a wage increase, the basic demands of Harry Bridges, alien strike leader of the Coast, were not granted. Those demands were, of course, the now familiar request that his particular organization be granted the complete monopoly of furnishing men to the shipping companies. Mr. Bridges is not desirous of having his organization, the Maritime Federation, which includes all grades of seamen from cooks to mates, assume the responsibility for the safety of the passengers and cargoes.

Ostensibly, the backbone of the course is the poorly arranged and errata-infested text, Crum and Patton. To this, as a supplement, is added Professor Frickey's mimeographed "Notes and Problems", beyond a doubt one of the most readable and helpful sources in elementary statistics. They, however, are still no more than a glorified explanation of an inadequate text; and the confusion arising from the awkward necessity of having to consult two texts, neither one of which is complete, is indeed a ridiculous situation...
