He thinks the classes together into a world, and becomes a man. He has courage for the world. When men see, whether they are rich or poor, what they want, what they believe they can get, they are not afraid. The next great work of the best employers is to get labour to want enough. Labour is tired and mechanical-minded.
I wish you had stock in the Meat Trust in America, that you could pierce your way like a microbe into the vitals, into the inside of the Meat Trust in my own country, make a stand in a Directors' Meeting for ninety million people over there, say your say for them, vote your stock for them, say how you want a Meat Trust you belong to, to behave, how you want it to be a big, serious, business institution and not a humdrum, mechanical-minded hold-up anybody could think of in charge of a few uninteresting, inglorious men men nobody really cares to know and that nobody wants to be like ... when I think of what a man like you with money can do ...!
In the meantime, however, we seem to have been developing partly by competition and partly by combination and by experience employers who are not mechanical-minded, who have spirit themselves, and who believe in it and can use it in others; who find ways of adjusting the hours, the wages, and the conditions of work for the men, so that what is most valuable in them, their spirit, their imaginations, their hourly good-will, can all be turned into the business, can all daily be used as the most important part of the working equipment of the factory.
There is the man who is so tired, or mechanical-minded, that he can only think of himself. There is the man who is so tired that he can only think of his class. And there is the man that one has watched being moved over slowly from a Me-man into a Class-man, who has begun to show the first faint beginnings of being a Crowd-man.
It is what the next Tom Mann is for to find out for the Trades Unions and for the public who the most competent workmen are in every line of business, the workmen who are the least mechanical-minded, who have shown the most brains in educating and being educated by their employers, the most power in touching the imaginations of their employers with their lives and with their work, and in coöperating with them.
'Don't let the children believe such rubbish! is a constant ejaculation of the mechanical-minded person who does not permit himself to suffer any illusions, and who has long since 'done with romance and all that kind of twaddle. At any cost the imagination of the child should be encouraged and developed.
Even in spite of the drums and gongs, and the chanting of the crowd, Benson found out how loudly a newborn infant can scream in a fire. The others looked as though they were going to be sick; he doubted if he looked much better. "Of course, we are a more practical and mechanical-minded people, here and in Europe," Paula added, holding down her gorge by main strength.
It would be hard to overstate the importance of the battle now going on among the trades unions between the spirited labourers and the tired ones, and among the manufacturers between the inspired employers and the mechanical-minded ones. For the time being, at least, it is the inspired employers who have most power to change the conditions of labour and to free the mechanical-minded slaves.
