OPINION OF BOARD: Effective June 12, 1967, Carrier abolished the position of
 Counterman-Stockman-Deliveryman for the Storehouse located
 in the Mechanical Yard next to the Roundhouse. They also abolished the rest day
 relief assignments that performed the work of the abolished position on Saturday
 and Sunday. The duties of the assigned position were that of operating a tractor
 and trailer delivering supplies in the Coach Yard, Mechanical Yard and Roundhouse
 area. Such deliveries involved an area within 500 feet of the Storehouse. While
 the Counterman-Stockman-Deliveryman position was in existence, Mechanical Depart
 ment employes received their supplies two ways; they either had the supplies
 delivered to them by the Counterman-Stockman-Deliveryman, or they went to the
 Storehouse to pick up the materials they needed. Following the abolishment of the
 Counterman-Stockman-Deliveryman position, it was necessary that Mechanical Depart
 ment employes pick up all of their supplies at the Storehouse. The tractor-trailer
 used in the delivery of supplies was no longer used at all in the operation.


Petitioner claims that the discontinuance of the delivery violates the Clerks' Agreement. The record indicates that there has occurred a drastic decline in business, and_a of delivering supplies to Mechanical Department employes. Picking up of supplies . at the Storehouse by employes of any craft for their own use has been a practice of long standing. It is uncontested that no other craft has been assigned the duty of delivering supplies; that they are merely picking up their own supplies. This, we do not believe, constitutes a violation of the Clerks' Agreement.

        We will, therefore, deny the claim.


Third Party Notice as required by T.C.E.U. v U.P. (385 U.S. 157, 1966), was given to the Railway Employes' Department, AFL-CIO, thus meeting the Third
 Party procedural requirements. . `.
