My -5urpose in supplying you with this duscussion of the subject of Compensation for Industrial Injuries is to enable you to examine, in brief form, the vital substance of the large amount of data I have read while compiling it. Your interest in this subject is so direct, I feel it unnecessary to urge you to give it your prompt and careful attention. My investigation of this subject has led me to the following conclusions: (1) The basis of insurance should be shifted from Employers Liability to Workmen s Compensation. (2) The form of insurance should be collective, covering all employes working for each employer. (3) Collective insurance should be made compulsory by law imposed upon every employer and employe in the same manner as laws are imposed requiring the use of appliances for accident prevention and the observance of sanitary conditions designed to render employment safe and healthful. This is necessary to prevent employers who do not insure their employes, and uninsured workmen, from gaining an unfair competitive advantage over those who do comply with the Workmen scompensation insurance law, by not including the cost of compensation uisurance in the cost of their products. (4) The fact of collective insurance should be established by an inspectors certificate in the same manner and by the same ins)ectors who certify to the fact of compliance with laws requiring the use of appliances for accident prevention and prescribing sanitary conditions. (5) The fact of compensation insurance, so certified, should be a com)lete defense, for any employer who has paid the required premium for such insurance, against any and every claim for compensation for industrial injuries however originating.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
