Just what causes of industrial fatigue
exist and TO what degree that can be ell
minated. Investigations made to date and
reported to the Bureau. show that often
certain processes or conditions OF work
are employed to insure production which
really Impose on the workman a degree
OF industrial fatigue" limiting his out
put. According to experts at the Inter
national IIabour Bureau, this field OF In
dustriai fatigue" will constitute almost
the last Word in increasing efficiency and
pr0ductiveness. The English hackers Of
the movement say that since the intl0-
duction Of the factory system, virtually
all development has been on the side OF
the machinery plants and processes,
with little or nothing being done to in
crease the capacity sof the individual
workman. Two examples of industrial
fatigue, reported from England, are
cited as showing the possibilities Of the
world wide research and i~nVestip alton.
In the textile industry in England high
temperature and a high degree of humid.
lily have been employed for years, be-
cause it has been demonstrated that they
have a beneficial effect on the yarn. An
investigation from the standpoint Of in
duStriaI fatigue, however, developed the
fact that ii nigh temperature and humid
ity are pushed beyond a certain limit,
the benefits to the yarn are completely
counter balanced by the degree of fatigue
imposed on the Weavers who work under
such conditions. A similar situation in
the coal mining industry established
that the soutpUt Of miners could be In
creased fifteen per cent by the installa-
ton Of an adequate system Of lighting to
take the place ,of the headlights miners
now wear, while it has long been known
that the worker responds unconsciously
and Immediately to his physical environ
ment. The world wide research, which
the Bureau has been asked TO undertake,
will be the first effort to analy2e this ele-
ment to a measurable quantity, so that it
be taken into consideration as an estab-
lished and .caIculable factor in produc-
ton.
