The liaustrial Outlook. Edited by H. Sanderson Funoiss. (Ghetto and
Winelus. 3s. Od. net.)—These very able and well- informed essays, edited by the Principal of Ruskin College, deserve Attention. In the first four, " Employers and Property," by Mr. 0. W. Daniels ; " The War and the Status of the Wage-Earner," by Mr. Henry Clay ; " Labour Organization," by Mr. J. R. Taylor ; and "The Control of Industry by Producers and Consumers," by Mr. W. Piercy, the fundamental modern problems of industry are clearly explained as they stood at the outbreak of war and as they now are. Mr. Taylor's account of the new tendencies in Trade Unionism and the rise of the great industrial Union, like the National Union of Railwaymen, as contrasted with the older craft Unions, is especially interesting and valuable. Mr. A. W. Ashby, of Oxford, gives an excellent summary of the rural problem, and there is a sensible chapter on State cor.trol by Mr. W. H. Pringle, who commends the " healthy distrust of authority " as an invalu- able characteristic of the English race.
