Mr. Liebeler. Now what kind of supervision did Oswald have in his work? You said that you took him around and tried to teach him how to do the job, but then after you finished breaking him in, at least as far as the fifth floor is concerned, he would be pretty much on his own, wouldn't he?
Mr. Le Blanc. No. I mean from the—I started him on the fifth, and then he would work his way on down to the first floor. See? The way I broke him in, I told him, "Make sure that you have got everything on that one floor," and I said, "If it takes you a day to do it, let it take you a day," I said, "but make sure that you have got everything greased and oiled and cleaned." And that is what he was supposed to do, and I told him, I said, "Then if you get finished the fifth floor, or whatever floor you are on, you can always work to the next floor." And then in the evening at 3:15 when the lines were shut down, we had these three machines that had to be cleaned, oiled and greased every day and sometimes twice a day—it all depends on how they ran—and he had to see to it that each evening at 3:15 they was cleaned and greased.
Mr. Liebeler. Now did he have anybody keeping track of him as a general proposition? He really didn't, did he? I mean, he was just——
Mr. Le Blanc. Well, the majority of the time he had somebody over him, but as a practice, I mean after you got broke in on your job, well, they wouldn't look after you, keep looking after you. They figured, well, you knew your job and you would go ahead and do your job. But after awhile, well, they seen he was drifting off. Right to the last day before they let him go, why, we kept an eye on him, because we seen then that he wasn't doing the work that he was supposed to be doing.
Mr. Liebeler. He really wasn't doing the work?
Mr. Le Blanc. No.
Mr. Liebeler. He wasn't greasing the machines?
Mr. Le Blanc. No. And you see, we have a greasing log that when you grease the machine you log it the day that you grease it, and actually a lot of times I think he might have put stuff down in the log that he didn't even get to sometimes.
Mr. Liebeler. Just so I can get an idea of what kind of work he was doing, how were the machines greased? Did he have a grease gun or cups and——
Mr. Le Blanc. Yes; well, we have an air grease gun and we also have these hand-type grease guns.
