PARTIES TO DISPUTE:



STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Signelmen on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company (Chesapeake District):

a) The Carrier violated the current Signalmen's Agreement, particularly Scope Rule 1, when on and af 22, 1973, it continues to assign, or otherwise allow, other than its Signal Employes to repair and/or maintain the Car Retarder System Air Compressors located in its signal shop building at Walbridge Yard Hump, Walbridge, Ohio. As a result,

b) Carrier now compensate its Signal Employee named below at their applicable pro rata rate of pay, and for a comparable amount of time, for violation cited in part (a):

OPINION OF BOARD: The record reflects that a claim was filed under date
of Mary 18, 1973, alleging a continuing claim on the
ground that the Carrier violated the Signalmen's Agreement when, on and after
March 22, 1973, it allowed work covered by said Agreement to be performed by
employee other than Signalmen.



The record fails to reflect any facts which show that the subje~ work was performed in the manner complained of on March 22, 1973, and the record also fails to reflect any instance thereafter of the subject work having been performed in the manner complained of on any date covered by ti Submissions. The record is thus barren of the requisite evidence to suppo: the claim and the claim oust therefore be dismissed.
