The opinion

Dissenting Opinion by

Mr. Justice Jones:

In my opinion, the conclusion reached by Judge Reno for the Superior Court, that the refusal of the referred work by the claimant in this case was for “good cause” as that term is employed in section 402(a) of the Unemployment Compensation Law,
