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 employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act as approved Julie 21, 1934.

 This Division of the Ad'ustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.

The Board has thoroughly examined the Submissions of the parties and has considered the oral arguments made before us. We note that the issues in the Claim before us are identica:_ to those decided in First Division Award No. 23760. We find, as in that Award, that the Claim cannot be sustained, chiefly because it was not handled in the usual manner on the property pursuant to Circular No. 1 and Section 153 (1?irst)(i) of the Railway Labor Act. Moreover, our review finds no contractual support under the facts of record for this Claim. Accordingly, in view of the foregoing, the Claim is dismissed.
