2t 12. Captain Franz H r o m a d k a , who had a ship's command for a long time and was most recently employed at the management as a csl. citizen of German nationality, was dismissed on the pretext that his health condition would no longer allow the continued service, although he continued to serve on a foreign shipping trip. 13. Filip P e r s e o l , steamman csl.State citizen (now as the Thebes German citizen) German nationality, was dismissed, only because of his nationality after about 15 years of service at the company, although he was one of the best and most characterful route tax people. 14. Pontonian L u t e n b e r g e r Martin, formerly csl., now a German citizen of the Thebes) of German nationality, was crowned under the pretext of his eye disease, but in reality because of his German nationality. 15. Joseph. L a n z e r t s , a Thebener, suppressed because of his German nationality, was forced to secure a position at another shipping company, although he was one of the most skilled of the young. 16. The captain Ferdinand Z a j i c e k , csl.citizen, German nationality, who was assigned to the Directorate (nautical abbot) has not been transferred to the Land Service until today, although serious family reasons and the long-standing assignment speak for the fact that young single inexperienced Czech and Slo-Wak captains were more fortunate in this respect. We have not so far listed those cases in which the executives of the Directorate (Ing.Droppa, Sebera, Dr.Gasperik and Zavarsky) have, however, pursued individual employees in the most brutal manner under various pretexts. It is not possible to get involved in all the details of which chicans and other persecutions were also exhibited to other persons because of their German or Hungarian nationality, or because they as Czechs had judged and solved the conditions. They were mostly damaged in the promotion or service use. It was in particular Dr. Gasperik, who had proved to be able to see that he regarded it as his sacred duty to clean the company from all unreliable elements. Of course, he thought first of all of all about all employees of German or Hungarian nationality, which is clearly demonstrated by the cases mentioned above. It is well known that Dr. Gasperik, on the occasion of a Romanian trip, had set out to check the loyalty of individual employees assigned in Romania. To this end, he was said to have allowed himself to do various things. It is said that he had visited the l libraries of the individual employees and accused them of lack of loyal books. He is said to have entered the private home of a German official in late evening hours - without invitation - in order to convince himself with his own eyes about the family relations of the same, especially about his wife.
