the year. In fact there is just
one more day to go, before the
the proverbial Old Year will be
bowling out while the New Year
will be ringing in. Therefore let
us take stock Of the year 1919.
What we're the highlights in Day
ton? What were the accomplish
ments, what the losses?
The year 1949 opened up with
Negro workers working in Day
ton plants mostly as laborers but
at least working five days a week
But by Spring the layoffs began
to come and many plants commenc-
ed to operate on a 3 or 4 day
schedule. This meant that the
year has been one of pinching
pennies by most Dayton wage
earners.
1949 also opened with a con-
certed effort to draft a Negro to
run for the city comission, but

JobIless in:hary|and

|As Home Sales Drop
~ By The Asseeieted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. l4-Unem-
ployment in Maryland last month
was the highest it has been since
the war, Russell L. Davis, direc-
tor of the Department of Employ
ment Security, reported today.
He said the State had $4,000
jobless during February, an in
crease of 96 per cent over Febru-
|ary, l948.
Mr.. Davis said the high rate of
unemployment could not be laid
entirely to seasonal layoffs, which
occurred in the construction, bev-
erage, shipbuilding and metal in
dustries.
He pointed out that the in
creased joblessness would also re-
suit in a decrease in consumer
purchasing power" with subse-
quent declines in orders and sales.
Layoffs in Maryland have af-
fected practically all types of con-
struction workers, with home
building plans tentative and un-
certain" Mr.. Davis said the de-
mand for houses costing over
$500 is sharply down, with the
drop in building activity greater
than the normal seasonal decline
He said semiskilled and un-
skilled labor is abundant" and
that women and older workers are
entering the labor market because
of financial hardship.
