REST PERIODS CONSERVE
ENERGY OF WORKERS
Permitting Laborers to Become Fa'
tigued Cuts Down Production.

Employers of labor have found that
output may be increased, not by work
ing man when he is tired, but by Civ
ing him an opportunity to rest. An
hours rest for the workers may liter
ally be worth far more to the employer
than the same time spent i'll labor.
At a large munitions factory men Ell
gagged in the heavy work of molding
are required by the management to
rest fifteen minutes i'll every hour OF
work The manager was satisfied that
this was all arrangement good for the
men and for the output. But the men
objected to this long spell Of rest in
each hour hCrauSc the work was piece
work and they thought the production
would he leSSenei by ii. The manage
accordingly found it necessary to set
foreman "a watch and to make the
hourly rest compulsory When this was
done the output per hour was found TO
be aYtually increased.
Proper attention to rest will prevent
a large part of diminished capacity
from Industrial fatigue and prevent
waste due to imperfect work.-Indus
