Man Won t Bury
Body of Father,
Undertaker
Says
Son Claim Parent Ran Away
From Home 15 Yean
Ago and Sent no
Word.
III ilume to (urn my own
- tithe r down, I'ut he ran away from
home 15 yran ago and we never
heard from him."
Thcte words were said to rrp
retenlative of The Onuh lire by
Howard Staiford, adjustment man tit
the lug Rudge-titicnzrl store of
Lincoln, whri asked concerning a
complaint nude hy Deputy County
Attorney Henry Beat that he had re
futed to bury the body of his father.
"We heard nothing from fathrr,"
Stafford continued, "until some peo
ple in Klmwood called me up and
told me he was deathly sick there.
"1 told them that our family wash
ed their hands of the entire affair
and Rave them the names of hit rela
tives. Blamei Booze and Women.
"Booze and had women caused the
breaking un of his home.
' Stafford lives with his mother and
, sister in a home which thry built in
- Lincoln.
His father, Charles Stafford, 63
' lies dead in the Crosby morgue
Omaha disowned by his own fartv
jiy.
The elder Stafford died in the
Douglas county hospital June 2
after having been taken there by
physicians from Cass county, where
. he had contracted a brain disease
while working evi a farm.
When he died, the body was taken
.. to the Crosby morgue, and according
to the complaint made by Deputy
County Attorney Beal, officials of
the undertaking firm called the son
in Lincoln.
Again Call Son.
"I'll see about it." they allege the
son repnt'l. "but 1 ve got to get in
touch with relatives.
The undertakers waited a few
days and whe.n they received no
further instructions, again called the
son, the complainant told Deputy
. County Attorney Ileal.
"Turn the body over to one of the
medical colleges," the undertakers
claim the son told them this time.
Stafford denied to The Omaha
Bee that he had talked with the un
dertakers about the situation.
Deputy County Attorney Beal
said that there is no law to his
knowledge which would require the
soi to bury the father and that if
he fails to net him to do so the
body cither will have to be buried
at the expense of Cass county au
thorities or be given over to a mcdi
cal colleee.
Stafford said none of his family
would come to Omaha for funeral
services.

Letter Sent to the
Employes of "Q"
Not Ultimatum
I have read the statement of
Mr. Howard E. Gates in the
morning World-Herald referring
to the letter issued to employes
bv President Hale Holden of the
Burlington Railroad. I do not
desire or intend to enter into a
discussion of the present situa
tion, but I feel the necessity for
a full understanding of the letter
referred to.
This letter to employes was
written after full consideration
had been given to the pronounce
ment of the Railroad Labor
Board and careful deliberation
as to the need for some definite
statement by the Management of
the Burlington Railroad to the
employes whose seniority, Relief
Department membership and
Pension privileges would be af
fected. It was written in the
spirit of friendship and comrade
ship born of the harmonious re
lations and associations that have
always existed between the em
ployes of the C, B. & Q. Railroad
and the Officers, whose duties
and responsibilities to the Public
are so well defined and recog
nized.
The nresent situation was not
created bv anv condition control.
lable by the officers of the Rail
roads. The letter of President
Holden is not an ultimatum, but
a plain, friendly statement of
facts to employes who. having
been associated with the officers
of the C, B. & Q. Railroad for
rears in pleasant and friendlv ri-
lationship, are now considering
whether they will permanently
leave the service of the C, B.
& O. Railroad and narrifire the
benefits that have accumulated
during these years to themselves
and their families, and seek em
ployment elsewhere. Supina
tions to the contrary notwith
standing, there has always been
and is today a generous, friendly,
sympathetic c o m r adeship be
tween the emnlovps unri officer
of the Burlington Railroad that
Dnngs lamuies closer together
and in this srjirit our President
addressed us. Anv auccpstlon
or advice to employes to the con
trary is detrimental to their indi
vidual interests, the combined
interests of the employes and
officers of the C, B. & Q. Rail
road and the Public.

"WHEREAS. In tho futuro
tubmiaaion of disputes Involving
rulei, wages and griovanrps of
of eniiiloves of Hie
carriers, it will be deairablu, if
not s practical necessity, ior inc
emnlovia of euch class on lU-h

sociation nr organization to func-
--
lion in tnc representation or uniu
emmoves before the KaiiroHd
lhor ltonrd, in order that the
effectiveness of the Transporta
tion Act muy be maintained.
"NOW, THKREFOKE be it
resolved. That It be communi
cated to tho carriers and the em
ployes remaining in the service
and the new employes succeeuinit
thone who have left tho service
to take steps as soon ns prnc-
ticable to perfect on each carrier
i
such organizations ns may he
deemed necessary for the pur
poses above mentioned, and,
"Be IT FURTHER RE
SOLVED, That if it be assumed
that the employes who leave th s
service of the carrier because of
their dissatisfaction with any de
cisions of the Labor Board are
within their rights in so doing,
it must likewise be conceded that
the men who remain in the serv
ice and those who enter it anew
are within their rights in accept
ing such employment, that they
are not strikers seeking to im
pose the arbitrary will of an em
ployer on employes that nave
the moral as well as the legal
right to engage in such service
of the Arrieriean public to avoid
nterruption of indispensable
Railway transportation, and they
are entitled to the protection of
every department and branch of
the government, state and na
tional.
and in view of our duty to the
public to maintain our servv-e,
we ore obliged to reorganize with
sufficient forces.
Before taking this step, in
view of the harmonious relations
which have always existed be
tween us and because we want
to give every consideration to
faithful employes, we ask you
to give most earnest and sober
thought to your final decision in
the matter of returning to our
service.
The existing law provides the
means of correcting any injustice
which you may feel needs cor
rection. For years in the past we
have been able to meet and agree
amicably on all matters. We be
lieve that condition can . and
should exist again.
Those of our mechanical craft
employes who report for their
duties not later than for the bo
ginning of the first shift on Mon
day morning, July 10, may do
so with resumption ot full
seniority and they will be treat
ed as if their service had been
continuous. Thfcse returning
after that time, if accepted, and
those newly hired will rank as
new employes.
We sincerely urge you to make
Up your minds individually and
to act for the best interests of
yourselves, your families and the
country, which is dependent up
on your loyal service.
