(By United Ne ve)
A world wide investigation of
‘‘industri-
al faticue,””
as
one
of
the
most
effce-
tive means
of increasing
the
world pro-
duetion,
is the latest
task
that
has
been
suggested
to
the
International
Labour
World.
The
question
briefly stated,
is
that
in
various
lines
of iadustry
the
srecial conditions
under
which men work
impose
a degrze
of “industnial fatigue”
that great'y
deerensee
the outiut
of pro-
duetivn of eacn
individual.
Erglish
ex-
peris
have
raisel]
the guestion
before
the
Internatioral Labour
Bureau
here.
They
insist
that ar
s
»oment
when
the
world
has
need of the
greatest
amount
of pro-
duction
to restere
its economie
equilibri-
um.
there
is need
of a
world-wide inves-
tivation i every
industry
to
a certain
just what
causes
of ''industrial
fatigue”
exist and
to what degree
that
can
be
eii-
minated.
Investigations
made
te date and
reported
to the Bureau,
show
that ofien
certain
processes
or
conditions
of
work
are employed
to insure
production
whieh
really
nnpose
on the
workman
a
degree
ot “'industrial fatigue’”” limiting his
out-
put.
According
to
experts at
the Inter-
nationai
Labour
Bureau,
this field cf "‘in-
dustrial
fatigue’
will constitute
almost
the last
wora
in increasing
efliciency and
productiveness.,
The English
backers
of
the movement
say
that
since
the
intio-
duction
of
the factory
system,
virtoa.ly
all development
has
been
on
the
side
of
the
machinery
plants
and
processes,
with little
or nothing
being
done
to
in-
crease
the
capacity of
the
individual
workman.
Two
examples
of
industria)
fatigue,
reported
from
England,
are
cited
us showing
the
possibilities
of the
world-wide
researeh
and
ipvestigation,
In the textile
industry
in KFregland
high
temperature
and
a high degree of humid-
ity have
beer
employed
for
years,
be-
cause
it bes
been
demonstrated
that they
have
a beneficial
effect on the
yarn.
An
investigation from the
standpoint
of
ia-
dustrial fatigue, huowever,
developed the
faet
that if high temperature
and humi
i-
ity
are pushed
beyond
a
certain
limit,
the
bencfits
to the
varn are
completely
courter
balanced
by the degree of fatigue
imposad
on
the weavers
who work under
such
conditions.
A
similar
situation
in
the
coal-mining
industry
established
that the loutput
of
miners
could
be
in-
creased
fifteen
per cent
by the
installa-
tion of an adequate
system
of lighting to
take
the place ,of
the headlights
miners
now
wear,
while it bas
long been
known
that the
worker
responds
unconsciously
and immediately
to his physieal
enviroi-
ment.
‘The world wide
research,
which
the Bureau
has
been
asked
to undertake,
will be the first effort to analyze
this
ele-
ment
to
a measurable
quantity,
so that it
pe taken
into consideration
as
an
estab-
lished and _calculable
factor
in
produc-
tion.
