To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
With societies like that of the L. And N. W. Railway Company there is no such difficulty at all. The man breaks his leg, let us say. His wife goes at once to the office of the society. There is a regular tariff of allowance which that man receives during the time he is ill for the mischief done to him. If the poor man is killed, the widow has not to go about seeking the charity of some friends to enable her to bring an action against the company, but goes and receives 100 for herself and ^30 or... ^40 for the children, the sums provided by the rules of that society. Now, sir, that system has been in operation for years. It is in operation in one of the southern railways as well as the one I have already mentioned, and a similar system is found in part of our mining districts. In the House of Commons we made a struggle to allow these societies to continue to exist. While for the reasons I have stated I am opposed to general contracting out, where you have got an actual society consisting of thousands of men who by a majority of 95 per cent, of their number upon a ballot declared that they wanted to keep that society instead of coming under the Employers' Liability Act, then I say that to press a Bill through Parliament which will crush that society is not an act in favour of industrial freedom, but an act in favour of industrial tyranny.
