LAUNDRIES WAIT
REPLY FROM CPA
Labor -problems In Medford
laundries are continuing to
threaten service this week while
managers await answer from the
district OPA administrator in
Portland to their request for ap
proval of a wage increase, ac
cording to Glen Fabrick, man
ager of Medford Domestic Laun
dry and spokesman for the three
laundries of the city.
Telegrams signed jointly by
the three laundries and the Jack
ion county Chamber of Com
merce, seeking approval of a
higher wage scale to attract
workers, were sent Friday but
up to this morning no response
( had been received.
Operations in the laundries
have been curtailed with the
smaller staffs, Fabrick said, but
so far schedules have been main
tained without refusing any
work. Service Is concentrated
on supplying the needs of one
hospital, restaurants and hotels,
while . civilian work is done
mostly on a family "rough dry"
basis with only shirts and uni
forms being ironed. Finish work
on fancy pieces is left to the
owners.
