in dispute. Claimants were each assigned to positions
of Storeshelper-Caboose Attendant at Bellevue, Ohio, terminal. Among the
primary duties of these positions was the requirement to supply cabooses

question Claimants were required during their tours of duty to place

payment at the punitive rate. -
