(Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen PARTIES TO DISPUTE:


_STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Claim of the General Committee of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Signalmen on the Southern Pacific Company (Pacific Lines) that:

(a) The Southern Pacific Company violated the current Signalmen's Agreement, effective April 1, 1947 (reprinted April 1, 1958, including revisions) when it failed and at the retarder yard at Eugene Yard on June 18, 1965, to employes not covered by the Signalmen's Agreement.

(b) Mr. R. D. Hanson be allowed four (4) hours at the overtime rate of Signal Maintainer, Retarder Yard Systems, for June 18, 1965.



OPINION OF BOARD: This claim involves electrical work on the air compressor
of Carrier's retarder yard at Eugene, Oregon. We have
recently adjudicated two cases involving electrical work on this facility,
and have held that on the record presented in each case the work belonged
to Signalmen - Awards 19118 (Mesigh) and 19248 (Cull). There is nothing in
the record before us that would justify a different decision in this case,
and we will sustain paragraph (a) of the claim.

Petitioner contends that if Claimant had been required to perform the involved work, "he would have been required to work overtime." The record shows, without contradiction, that the Electrician spent only ten minutes doing the work; therefore, Claimant will be allowed ten minutes overtime.

FINDINGS: The Third Division of the Adjustment Board, after giving the
parties to this dispute due notice of hearing thereon, and upon
the whole record and all the evidence, finds and holds:

:,



That the Carrier and the Employes involved in this dispute are respectively Carrier and Employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act, as approved June 21, 1934;

That this Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein; and

        That the Agreement was violated.


                    A W A R D


        Paragraph (a) of the Statement of Claim is sustained.


Paragraph (b) of the Statement of Claim is sustained to the extent indicated in the Opinion.
