Orthodox organizations sought Sun-
day to obtain action to end a two-
week strike of cemetery workers
which has forced observant Jews
to bury their dead themselves.
The Association of Reform Rab-
bis of New York, representing 250
• ...•••••••••••.•..„...••
rabbis, offered to mediate the
strike by the Cemetery Workers
and Green Attendants of Local 365
of the AFL-CIO Building Service
Employes Union against 36 Catho-
lic, Jewish and nonsectarian cem-
eteries. The Reform rabbis group
deplored the inability of families
to carry out "the sacred duty of
burying their dead."
The two Orthodox groups were
Union of Orthodox Jewish
Congregations of America, head-
ed by President Joseph Karasik,
and the Rabbinical Council of
America, headed by Rabbi
Pesach Z. Levovitz. The two
Orthodox leaders called on Gov.
Nelson Rockefeller and Mayor
John Lindsay to take immediate
steps to make possible the burial
of the dead, without regard to
the strike.
The two Orthodox leaders said
that if the strike was not settled
promptly, "we shall take steps to
form an emergency corps of vol-
unteers to inter the departed."
They said a large number of offers
had been received from students
of rabbinical seminaries and other
young people volunteering their
services for that purpose.
"The failure to bury the dead
and the accumulation of bodies has
reached emergency proportions and
immediate steps must be taken to
resolve this emergency," the
Orthodox - leaders declared. "The
strike must under no circumstances
prevent the citizens of New York
from abiding by the dictates of
their consciences and from fulfill-
ing the precepts of their faith."
They also said that failure to inter
the dead was "a direct violation"
of Jewish religious principles "and
is rapidly creating havoc among
the many families involved."
The New York Board of Rabbis
also sent a telegram to Mayor
Lindsay, declaring that it was
"deeply distressed at the continua-
tion of the cemetery strike."
The. Long Island Commission
of Rabbis charged earlier that the
walkout had caused "a great deal
