STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Claim of the General Committee of The Order of Railroad Telegraphers that 19 Train Order No. 506 dated March 9, 1953 closing Yellow Springs, Ohio permanently as a Block Station, did not abolish the Block Operator's work formerly performed by the Agent at Yellow Springs, since exactly the same work remains to be performed and is being performed by the Operators at Xenia Block Station direct with Train Crews at Springfield instead of through the Operator at Yellow Springs, Ohio. Award 6097 supports this position and the violation has now been extended to include Monday through Friday, as well as on Saturdays as formerly.
Claim is made for L. L. Wysong, incumbent of the position for each Saturday this violation continues and on each Monday through Friday for an idle extra Block Operator, or if none available, a call for each train order handled by the Operator at Xenia formerly handled by the Agent at Yellow Springs, to be paid to the oldest regular man available that date.
That the dispute was certified to the Third Division of the Adjustment Board ex parte by the complainant party; and
That hearing thereon has been held and concluded. Under date of August 13, 1959, the parties jointly addressed a formal communication to the Secretary of the Third Division requesting withdrawal of this case from further consideration by the Division, which request is hereby granted.
