Compromise On Insurance Bill Moves Through Legislature
The Maryland unemployment insurance bill advances, meeting Federal requirements to save payroll taxes and fund the program if a state law remains in place. The joint committee, led by Senator J Allan Coad and Delegate Kent Mullikin, supports a three member Board of Public Works commission and a phased employer tax of 0 9 percent in 1936 1 8 percent in 1937 and rising to 3 percent for the three year period. The bill excludes agricultural labor domestic marine workers and several public groups and keeps the state law valid even if the Federal act is struck down. Governors Nice and Board chairmen Gordy Miles shape the drafting stance amid hearings with labor backing Sobeloff and McCurdy asserting labor support.
