 GOVERNOR HURLEY'S recent Unemployment Compen- sation Commissioner William H. Connolly, has handed down his first decision. He ruled that claim ant, formerly employed as switch board operator, who stated while for benefits that she did not care for factory work, was eli gible for benefits. At the hear- ing, the claimant contended that she did not bar factory work, but would prefer an office position. In another case, Connolly ruled that baker who worked one month without one day off and left be- cause he was dissatisfied with the hours, was entitled to benefits. In his decision, the Commissioner said:
 'sI feel the employer in ask
 ing the claimant to work one
 whole month without one day
 off, in this day and age, and to
 expect him to continue to be
 satisfied, certainly expects too
 much, because after all, 'all
 work and no play makes Jack
 a dull boy'."
