Mr. Arthur Henderson, a barrister and a son of the well- known Labour leader, has written a compact and useful book on Trade Unions and the Law (Berm, 85. 6d.), to which Mr. Clynes and Sir Henry Slesser act as sponsors. Though:I:Ir. Henderson designed the book for-the use of trade-union officials, who have to walk warily amid the morass of rules and forms prescribed by various statutes, it will interest many other readers. The chapters on " The Right to Strike " and " Political Action " are lucid and not unduly controversial, and the text of the Act of 1927 is handy for reference.
