OPINION OF BOAR: On dates of may 5, June 19 and July 13, 1972 an electrician employed by Carrier as Road Electrician installed certain 120 volt A.C. power feeds at locations on Carrier property. Subsequently the instant claims were filed on the premise that the installation of power feeds is work reserved to Signal employees by the Scope Rule of their Agreement. The claim was not resolved in handling on the property and com as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, as representatives of the electrical employees, has an interest in the case we have considered a statement of its position as part of this record.

Close study of this record indicates that the gravamen of the
instant claim(as well as the parties, the applicable Agreement and the
position of each of the parties)are identical to those considered by us
at length in our recent denial Award 20599. For the reasons developed
more fully in Award 20599 we are likewise constrained to deny the in
stant claims.
