he cemetery strike against
'
metropolitan area's 47
.emeteries continues, despite
Gov. Rockefeller's signature
n a bill mandating arbitra-
Lon, volunteer grave diggers
re meeting with harassment
nd violence on the part of
rustrated grave diggers.
Isaac Salmon, a 25-year-old
;rooklyn volunteer, was as-
aulted and severely beaten
7 a striking grave digger

Rabbi Shlomo Drimmer,

The family of the late
'harles Michaels announces
• unveiling of a monument
his memory 1 p.m. Sun-
ay, July 15 at Machpelah
emetery. Rabbi Schnipper
ill officiate. Relatives and
iends are asked to attend.
.,
cemetery owners joined him
in asking that police officers
be stationed at the grave
sites, the police department
is still uncertain of the le-
gality of such a move.
Rabbi Samuel Schrage,
chairman of the committee,
said he felt that violence was
on the upsurge because of
the grave diggers' frustration
over their inability to gain
an acceptable contract.
"When men are hungry and
the pay check is not there
they get angry," the rabbi
said. Meanwhile, many vol-
unteers are backing off for
fear of physical violence.
The committee sent a tele-
gram to Police Commission-
er Donald S. Cawley request-
ing that a special task-force
be assigned to protect the
lives of the volunteer grave
diggers.
Rabbi Drimmer said that
five volunteers at Mount Car-
mel Cemetery were pushed
by a menacing group of 50
grave diggers into a local
office where they were being
held as virtual prisoners.
Rabbi Schrage indicated
that he was still hopeful that
the union would understand
that the ECJB is not their
enemy and its only goal
is to provide Jews with the
traditional burial within the
24-hour period as required by
Jewish law.
So far the volunteers have
buried 856 Jews. As of Sun-
day 2,500 bodies remain un-
buried. Last week it was re-
ported by the committee that
there were 3,000 bodies of
Jews remaining unburied be-
cause of the strike.
Meanwhile, the appellate
division of State Supreme
Court upheld a lower-court
order directing 1,700 striking
cemetery workers to return
to their jobs.
The decision of the five-
judge bench thus opened the
way for State Attorney Gen-
eral Louis J. Lefkowitz to
press for criminal contempt
action against the union and
its officers.
Sam Cimaglia, the presi-
dent of the striking union,
Local 365 of the Cemetery
Workers and Greens Attend-
ants, said that he planned to
appeal the decision to the
State Court of Appeals.

Suit 'Over
Unorthodox
Autopsy
Mrs. Rose Fealk has filed
suit for $500,000 aginst Wayne
County, charging that the au-
topsy on her husband, McIrris
Fealk, in September 1971,
violated her religious senti-
ments. She also charges that
she had to sit shiva twice,
having learned, 45 days after
her husband's burial, that his
brain had been removed. It
required another burial ac-
cording to Jewish law which
calls for interment of all por-
tions of the deceased's body.
Thus, Mrs. Fealk was com-
pelled to observe another
mourning period after the
second burial.
Suit was instituted when
the Wayne County Board of
Auditors denied her claim
last month.
Wayne County Corporation
Counsel George Cross stated
that Mrs. Fealk's claim was
denied because "the county
medical examiner had the
legal right to order an au-
topsy." Mrs. Fealk's com-
plaints led to the resignation
of Dr. Gilbert E. Corrigan,
Wayne County medical exam-
iner, two months after Mr.
Fealk's death.
The deceased, who died in
Sinai Hospital, 45 days after
being admitted, had suffered
brain deterioration from a
fall, according to the med-
ical examiner.
