 No bids were received for the position advertised. Consequently, on July 28, 1970, Signal Bulletin No. 142-70 was issued, reading:

 "TO EMPLOYEES CONCERNED:

 The permanent position of Signal Maintainer at Franksville, Wisconsin was recently bulletined in the Middle-Northern District, but there were no bids received for the job. If there are any Southern District employees interested in the job, applications should be filed within the next ten days, and they will be given consideration."

 No bids were received from any employees. On August 22, 1970, an employee junior to Claimant request for the position, and he was given the training. On December 1, 1970 he was assigned to the position. Claimant made no application for the position, expressed no desire whatsoever either verbally or otherwise for the position, and was fully employed and under pay and lost no earnings as a result of the alleged violation of the Agreement, Rules 65 and 66, reading as follows:

 "RULE 65.

 New positions or vacanices which are expected to be of more than six (6) months duration shall be bulletined as permanent within thirty (30) days previous to or following the date such new position is created or vacancy occurs. New positions or vacancies of more than thirty (30) days and less than six (6) months duration will be bulletined within the above stated time limit as of employe, a position which has been bulletined as temporary and does in fact exceed six (6) months a position being filled under a temporary bulletin is abolished, the incumbent may return to his former position. The following note will apply to Lines West only:

 Note: Where an employe is the successful bidder on a temp
 orary seasonal foreman's position, such six (6)
 months temporary period may be extended, by agreement,
 for an additional three months. Such agreement, be
 tween the Ass't to Vice President and the General
 Chairman, must be in writing and cover only the specific


            "seasonal job in question."


        "RULE 66.


        (a) Assignments to new positions or vacancies will be made after bulletin notice has been posted for a period of ten (10) days and sent to all employes entitled to consideration in filling the position and to Local an The appointment will be made and the name of the successful applicant announced within a period of twenty (20) days from the posting of the bulletin, together with the names of all employes bidding on the position.


        (b) Transfer of successful applicants to new assignments will be made within fifteen (15) days after close of the bulletin. New positions or vacancies may be filled temporarily pending permanent appointment."


The Organization states that "The instant dispute arose because of the manner in which Carrier f appointing an employe who did not bid, after the bulletin closed, rather than according to and within the period required under the bulletining and assignment rules." that there is no provision in the Signalmen's Agreement whereby a position can be filled permanently without the benefit of a bulletin pursuant to Rule 65, and assignment pursuant to and within the time period prescribed in Rule 66. As stated by the General Chairman, if there are no bidders when the position is bulletined, the vacancy still exists and the position should be rebulletined under Rule 65 until it is filled by a successful applicant."

 The Carrier, in letter of July 30, 1971, by L. W. Harrington, Vice President-Labor Relations, Carrier's Exhibit C, takes the position:

        "Please be advised I do not find any provision within the Signalmen's Agreement that provides for the rebulletining of positions once a position has been bulletined and no bids are received. It is significant to note that while you make this contention, you did not cite any provision within the agreement to support it.


        Rule 66 (a) which you allege has been violated in the instant case, provides in pertinent part that,

        'The appointment will be made and the name of the successful applicant announced within a period of twenty (20) days from the posting of the bulletin, together with the names of all employes bidding on the position.'


        What the above contemplates is that there will be a successful applicant for a particular bulletined position and the appointment of such a successful applicant wi a period of twenty days from the date the bulletin was posted. In the instant case, if there had been a successful applicant for the position in question when it was bulletined, the appointment would have been handled in accordance with the provisions of Rule 66 (a). Inasmuch as there was no successful applicant for the position in questio that the Carrier violated said rule is completely without merit and foundation."


This Board has studiously considered the language and apparent intendment of Rules 65 and 66 of Agreement. We are compelled by the explicit terminology of these ru Carrier, that we "do not find any provision within the Signalmen's Agreement that provides for the r has been bulletined and no bids are received."

 It is axiomatic that this Board does not make new Agreements for the parties. It is well settled that this Board must accept Agreements as made by the parties and must not insert or delete words under the guise of construing unambiguous provisions. We must accept the provisions of Rules 65 and 66 as adopted by the parties.

        FINDINGS: The Third Division of the Adjustment Board, upon the whole record and all the evidence, finds and holds:


        That the parties waived oral hearing;


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

 That this Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein; an
        That the Agreement was not violated.
