    Superior Court Hartford County
    File No. 60476
    MEMORANDUM FILED JANUARY 2, 1940.
    
      Saltman & Weiss, of Bridgeport, for the Plaintiff.
    
      William H. Leete, of Hartford; Francis A. Pallotti, Attorney General, and Harry Silverstone, Assistant Attorney General, for the Defendants.
   COMLEY, J.

The commissioner’s award turns on a difference between the striker whose unemployment begins with the stoppage of work as a result of the labor dispute and the striker whose unemployment had commenced a few days before the strike. Such a distinction opens, up a wide field of speculation. It seems to me equally within the language of the statute and.more in harmony with its professed purpose to hold that the unemployment status of a striker is suspended during a strike promoted by him and is restored if the termination of the dispute leaves him without employment.

The appellant has no cause to complain of the award and his-appeal is dismissed.
