BENEFIT CLAIMS FILED

New claims for benefits filed with
the Maryland Unemployment Com
pensation Board have taken big
slump. This reduction marks the end
of the annual rush due to the APP
proach of the new benefit year which
began April 1.
The top figure was 1886 new
claims, in the week ending March
%, while the week of April IS saw
the tide recede to 3,945. The cur
rent week will doubtless show fur
Their material shrinkage. The aver
age for the five weeks Immediately
preceding that Of April IS was a
little more than 1900.
The first half of April recorded
benefit payments Of $207,332, and
for the three and a half months Of
the current calendar year the ag-
gregate was $1,775,177. At this rate
the payments for the entire year
should not be much larger than last
years, which aggregated $5,747,237.
Total payments Of benefits by the
Maryland Unemployment Compen-
sation Board through April Is
amounted to s17,706.as2.
