Mr. Ball. Would orders be assigned the day before?

Mr. Shelley. No, sir; we don't definitely assign them to anyone. The boys know what they can fill best and as long as they are putting the work out——

Mr. Ball. I want to know how a man working on Scott, Foresman—suppose Oswald came to work on Friday morning, tell me what routine he would follow, where he would get the orders he was to fill.

Mr. Shelley. He would go over to the order desk and get them out of a box marked Scott, Foresman.

Mr. Ball. They would have Scott, Foresman on it?

Mr. Shelley. Yes.

Mr. Ball. Is he the only one that in the morning when he came to work would get the orders out of the box marked Scott, Foresman?

Mr. Shelley. No, sir; if there wasn't any orders in any of the other boxes any other order filler would take them.

Mr. Ball. Do you know whether or not he was filling Scott, Foresman orders that day?

Mr. Shelley. No, sir; not for sure.
