Boyle, J.
I concur with Chief Justice Williams as to the accounting formula that should be applied to determine whether plaintiffs were properly disqualified from receiving unemployment benefits for "financing” the labor dispute which caused their unemployment. Because the Court has adopted "temporal proximity” as a factor to be considered in determining whether there was a "meaningful connection” between the plaintiffs’ emergency dues payments and the labor dispute that caused their unemployment, I agree with Chief Justice Williams that the LIFO formula provides the fairest1 means of evaluating the issue.
Kavanagh, J., took no part in the decision of this case._

 As opposed to either the FIFO or Justice Ryan’s "proportionality” formulae.
