Payroll Tax Protest
Stirs Near Riot in
Bethesda Laundry
Firm Puts in Hurry Coll
To owl and Treasury
To Explain Withholding

Near rioting and a strike at the
Blue Ribbon Laundry at 47l2 Hamp-
den lane, Bethesda, which halted
work for two hours yesterday as
workers protested the deduction OF
the withholding tax from their
wages, appeared at an end today
with more workers reporting for
work than at any time in the past
six months.
After two hours OF pulling
and fist fights yesterday morning
during which Bethesda MD police
were called. the workers returned
to their jobs on a promise from
the proprietor, Samuel F. Boorstein
that a Government official would
come out to explain the tax to them
and why they couldn't get a wage
raise Immediately.
Words Led to Fists.
Laundry Supt. David Galkin said
he didn't know exactly why the fight
started. Two groups of girls were

ers that the Government and not
the laundry management had de-
Quoted the pay and that the work
ers could not get raise until the
War Labor Board approved.
Hurry Call to owl.
Temporarily satisfied. the EN-
ployes returned to work while Mr..
Boorstein put in a hurry call to
the Office of War Information and
the Treasury. Owl got in touch
with the War Manpower Commits
sion which sent a representative to
talk to the workers late yesterday,
The Treasury promised it would
send a speaker to explain the with
holding tax later this week.
The workers had been paid on
Saturday ano many of them failed
to appear for work yesterday. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Galkin, however,
more workers appeared at their jobs
today than at any time in the past
six months. He said the full COM
plement of IS workers had reported.
The only explanation. he said, was
that the workers had been con-
WINGED by the VINO speaker and
Mr.. BoorStein.
Similar Scenes Feared.
Most District laundries pay off
today and tomorrow and laundry
managements, it was said, are fear
ing additional protests over the with
holding tax deductions. Many of
them, however, sent circulars around
to their employees or called them to-
gether last week to explain the
withholding tax. A number of them
have expressed the fear that the
tax will make them lose their
workers.
The laundry association here has
been preparing petitions to submit
simultaneously to WLB and the
Office of Price Administration in an
effort to get wage increases and
price increases to cover them ap-
proved at the same time
Meanwhile. the area VINO has
notified the laundry association that
it will continue to recruit workers
only for jobs paying 40 cents or
more an hour. The beginning salary
in most laundries is said to be below
that figure.
