OTHER WORKS BY

SIDNEY AND BEATRICE WEBB.

Those who read the _History of Trade Unionism_ will want to know how far the Trade Union, as an industrial device, is an economic success--how its operations affect the National Being--whether it is a cause of loss to the employers--what effect it has on prices.

These questions, and many more, are explicitly answered in

INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY

=12s. net=

which _The Times_ described as

“A permanent and invaluable contribution to the sum of human knowledge.... We commend to the public a book which is a monument of research and full of candour.... Indispensable to every publicist and politician.”
