FINDINGS: The Second Division of the Adjustmet Board, upon the whole record and all the evidence, finds that:
The carrier or carriers and the employe or employes involved in this dispute are respectively carrier and employe within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act as approved June 21, 1934.
This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.
In Award 6185, claim and award in the above docketed dispute was held in abeyance pending receipt of certain information believed by the Board to be essential for a fair and full adjudication of said claim, and in Award #6185 the dispute was remanded back to local representatives of the parties who were directed to meet with Claimant's physician to obtain those essential facts defined in detail in the aforementioned Award.
The Board received in May information that Claimant's physician died in a plane crash in November of 1970.
The Board further received and has reviewed and studied carefully a latter dated December 6, 1971 from Carrier. The Board has also received a file of correspondence consisting of some 14 attachments from the organization representing Claimant, which has also been carefully studied and reviewed.
