Subject: Leave of absence of Dr. Leopold N o w a k, procurator of the Witkowitz mining and ironworks union. Dear Mr. Kuchinka! I hereby request that you inform the authorized agent Dr. Leopold N o w a k immediately upon receipt of this letter and that Mr. Nowak no longer enter the Witkowitzer Eisenwerk from the same hour onwards. I reserve the right to take further measures in this connection and ask you to instruct Dr. Zänkel to contact the office of Mr. Dr. Mr Zänkel is personally responsible to me for the proper execution of this order. If I have decided to take this measure, I have had serious reasons for doing so. I therefore ask you to move out of every attempt) to distance yourself: not only from the circles of the Witkowitz ironworks itself, but also from my own co-workers, serious complaints about Dr. Nowak have come to me again and again. However, I have repeatedly postponed the decision I had to make today in order to give your employee a chance. Dr. Nowak, however, has just repeated himself in the last few days against his duties in the most difficult way.
