Women's Jury Service Bill Is Killed in Maryland Senate
Annapolis March 31 The Maryland State Senate killed the women's jury service bill and a repeal measure aimed at Jim Crow laws. A 13 to 24 vote defeated the jury service bill after a tense debate and sent it to die in the Finance Committee. The Senate also rejected a bill to relax wartime work-hour limits for women, with a 19 to 9 vote. A separate measure to curb Read Drug and Chemical Company's liquor license monopoly was advanced, and a bill to limit licenses to one per county or Baltimore City passed toward final passage. The session also considered a 1904 racially segregated steamboat and train act, heard opposition, and saw motions to keep the bill alive fail by a single vote. House actions on budget bills totaling $100,000,000 for 1944-45 were approved, and measures regarding teacher and state employee bonuses moved toward concurrence with Senate.
