Excerpt from Eighth International Congress of Applied Chemistry, Vol. 23: Washington and New York, September 4 to 13, 1912 In my book Dangerous Goods (quoted under N Degrees7) published in 1910, I have endeavored to comply with the above-mentioned points, and the fact that it is now used regularly by many shipping companies in Europe, may be counted as a proof of its utility to this side of the interested parties. From the other side, i.e., the chemical industry, I have been sharply criticized on this work by certain German parties (chemische Industrie, 1911, pp. 146 238 and 605) and this appears to me an additional reason for urging that the representatives of the chemical industry of all countries here present should not underestimate the importance of this question.
