        Findings:


        The Second Division of the Adjustment 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.


        Parties to said dispute waived right of appearance at hearing thereon.


        The facts in this dispute are identical to those in companion Award No. 6784 and need not be repeated.


        This dispute concerns the senior carman who was not called to perform the work. The Organization asserts that this was in violation of Rule 27(c) which reads in pertinent part:

Form 1 Page 2

Award No. 6785
Docket No. 6544
2-C&O-CM-'74

"In the restoration of forces senior laid off employees will be recalled ..."

It is clear from this record that the Organization's reliance on Rule 27(c) is misplaced. There is no showing that during the claim period there was a "restoration of forces," and the claim must be denied.

A W A R D

Claim denied.
