It came with a great shock in trade
union circles the announcement of the
death of Jesse L. Gregg, who died sud
denly at his home, 934 South Twelfth
street, Sunday night at 9:45 o'clock.
Apparently in good health and after
enjoying an automobile ride with his
family in the afternoon of the day
of his death his sudden passing came
indeed with a great shock to a wide
circle of friends and acquaintances,
causing many expressions of sorrow
and regret.
Mr. Gregg was a molder by trade
and for many years Was a member of
Ix*on Molders' Union No. 283, and al
ways took a great interest in the
affairs of his local. He was popular
with all who knew him. He is surviv
ed by the widow, a sister and other
relatives to whom the sympathy of
organized labor is extended.
Funeral services were held at the
home Thursday morning at 10 o'clock
and were largely attended. Burial was
made at Reily Cemetery.

WM. F. SIEKMANN
CALLED
Well Known Painter Passed
Away Monday After
... Long Illness
William F. Siekmann, 444 South
Front street, died in Fort Hamilton
Hospital, Monday at 12:15 p.m. of
complications. At the time of his
death he had reached the age of 73
years. Surviving are one son, Wal
ter three brothers, Henry and John
of Richmond, Indiana, and R. H. Siek
mann, of Cincinnati and one sister,
Katie Mass, of Chicago.
For many, many years "Bill/' as
every one knew Mr. Siekmann, was
one of the best known men in Hamil
ton trade union circles. He was a
charter member of the Painters, Dec
orators and Paperhangers' Union No.
135, organized August 23, 1883, and
was a member in good standing to the
time he retired from the organization
because of entering the contracting
business. But he always carried an
honorable withdrawal card which he
valued highly.
No man ever did more for his union
and its members than did "Bill" Siek
mann. His counsel and aid were al
ways at hand when needed even after
becoming an employer. He served in
most all offices in his organization,
and for many years represented it
as delegate in Trades Council. He
will be much missed in trade union
circles.
To his son, brothers and sister, the
sympathy of Hamilton organized la
bor is sincerely extended.

NATIONAL LABOR
Relations Board "Cracks
Down" on Radio Firm
By A. P. of L. Mews Service.
Washington.—The National Labor
Relations Board announced here its
decision in the case of the Zenith
Radio Corporation of Chicago, 111.
The company was found to have vio
lated Section 7 (a) by its discharge of
an employee named Herbert Breit.
The board also found that the com
pany's definite decision not to put
Breit back to work after a layoff,
in resentment against his action in
filing a 7 (a) complaint with the
Chicago Regional Board, constituted
in effect a discharge in violation of
the president's executive order of May
15,1931 providing that "No employer
subject to a code of fair competition
approved under said title shall dis
miss or demote any employe for mak
ing a complaint or giving evidence
with respect to an alleged violation of
the provisions of any code of fair com
petition approved under said title."
The company was ordered to rein
state Breit in his former position
within ten days or the case would be
referred to the compliance division of
NRA and to other agencies of the fed
era 1 government for appropriate
action.
