Lectures on the Relation between Law and Public Opinion in England
Combinations of workmen or masters granted, by the Trade Disputes Act, 1906, and Trade Union Act, 1913, broad statutory immunity from actions in tort and freedom to pursue political objects.
In 1909 the Courts unhesitatingly decided that the funds of a trade union could not lawfully be applied to the furtherance of political objects.
