The great work of the public is to demand fatigue elimination. The adoption of a few simple slogans, like “Buy of the seated worker,” would help bring immediate results in fatigue elimination. Consider what the Consumers’ League has done in securing better working conditions. Note how the “Safety First” movement has spread through the whole country. The “Fatigue Eliminating Movement” can spread in the same way, if only every one will do his part to demand that the fatigue be reduced and to help in the actual reduction.
The workers of the country have long recognized the need for fatigue elimination; the employers are coming to a realization that they are paying a large price for fatigue. Many employers have resolved that, so far as their plants are concerned, needless fatigue must be eliminated. They have resolved that the day is coming when every worker shall go home from work happy in what he has done, with the least amount of unnecessary fatigue, and prepared to go back in perfect condition on the morrow. How soon this much desired time will arrive depends upon the co-operation of the public, upon the public sentiment that can be aroused.
There is no reader of this book who does not belong to at least two groups that should be interested in fatigue elimination. Decide at once, then, in which group you belong, and set to work. Be you teacher, manager, worker, or simply a member of the great public to which we all belong, begin to work for fatigue elimination, and begin now.
The good in your life consists of the quantity of “Happiness Minutes” that you have created or caused. Increase your own record by eliminating unnecessary fatigue of the workers.
