 RESOLUTION NO. II.
 Resolved, that the Thirty-Ninth An nual Convention of the Connecticut State Federation of Labor go on record as favoring the increase of the salaries of the Compensation Commissioners, from their present salary of S4,500 to $6,000 per year. We hold that their salaries are inadequate to meet their living expenses. These men as a rule are lawyers and they have to give their entire time to this work, also we claim that it Is an unfair burden to force these men to do work that they are not getting justly paid for.
