DEATH OF A WAITER
There was a big Jewish funeral in our town the other week
or so. It was Jewish in the ritual but the hundreds who were
there were Catholic, Protestant, agnostic, as well as Jewish. It
had to do with a great gentleman who was of the waiters’ union.
He had gone serving far beyond hotel and tavern tables; had
troubled himself about the way a lot of people have to live as
they scrape along by the week to make ends meet in their
households; he had carried banners, ydu might say, toward a
better way of life for all people.
By these ways Hugo Ernst expressed himself out of our
Torah. He was the international president of the union of
waiters,, hotel workers and bartenders. But in this position
he was not just president sitting in grand authority at a desk.
Hugo Ernst’s idea seemed to be that from this elevation he
could speak out as a sort of prophet in today’s world.
I do not know how exactly Jewish Hugo Ernst was in
ritual affiliation, but I could feel he was Jewish enough in the
sense of what’s said in Leviticus about loving the neighbor as
one’s self, in the sense of the prophet who told us we are bro-
thers under one Father.
So I could respect Hugo
Ernst as a dedicated Jew, re-
gardless of any formal affilia-
tion he may or may not have
had. He had his international
office in our town and I used
to see him often along our
downtown streets; his snow-
white hair a-flutter, for he
never wore a hat. A most dig-
nified gentleman—dignity was
of his character—even when he
was publicly wearing a flowery
shirt of the Hawaiian pattern.
He had died at age 70.
The official journal of the j
’ international union of waiters,
\ hotel workers and bartenders
was practically all about Hugo
Ernst in the month of his
death. Its managing editor, Mr.
Fred Sweet, had written of
him: “Hugo Ernst was born in
Varazadin, a small town in the
hills of Croatia. He was the
second of the village rabbi’s
sons. Rabbi Ignatz, a scholarly I
figure and a wise one, insist-
ed that the boys be educated
for the professions. Hugo made
plans for a career in journal-
ism.’ ’
That was the time when
Croatia was of the empire of
Austria and of the Emperor
Franz Josef, and young men
like Hugo Ernst were restive
for freedom. Young Hugo’s
ideals went farther than a goal
of political independence; the
land must be not only political-
ly free but also socially just;
the humblest would have his
due of gainful work and‘con-
tented living. (Today that’s
called social justice.)
Hugo Ernst could see no ful-
fillment of this in Franz Josef’s
Austria. So, in the year 1901,
he set off for America and set
foot at New York. He found
a job at $3 a week on a
paper published in his native
tongue, lost this job when he
asked for a raise to $4.
“Turning his back on writ-
ing, Hugo Ernst took his first
job in the industry to which he
was to devote the rest of his
