 PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
 (Southern Railway Company

On behalf of Mr. W. A. McBrayer, Assistant Signal Maintainer, Southern Railway, headquarters Norris Yard, for two hours and forty minutes at the signalman rate of pay account C8oS Supervisor R. W. Linn repaired signal trouble at Norris Yard January 15, 1975, when 2533 presence detector failed, and for two hours and forty minutes at the Assistant rate of pay account C&S Supervisor R. W. Linn assisted relief shift Signal Maintainer Thomas in changing out a retarder mechanism motor January 18, 1975. (Carrier file: SG-95)

 OPINION OF BOARD: When trouble occurred on January 16, 1975, no main
 tainer was on duty at the yard and the Supervisor
 called the Senior Maintainer in accordance with the provisions of Subject
 to Call Rule 37(b). The Supervisor responded to the emergency call
 himself when Maintainer Nordan could not be reached. When he arrived the
 trouble in a track switch had been cleared. Later that morning, the
 Supervisor notified the next senior Maintainer he was entitled to turn in
 a call but he refused to do so as thetrouble had cleared and no signal
 work was performed or required. -

 On January 18, 1975 a Regular Relief Maintainer was on duty on the second shift when the Supervisor went to Norris Yard. While at the Yard the Supervisor found the Maintainer was having trouble with the motor in "C" group retarder. Knowing that the regular second shift Maintainer had been having trouble with the same motor, the Supervisor instructed the Regular Relief Maintainer to install a new motor. These motors had been changed in the past by regular Maintainers who had installed them without arty assistance. The Supervisor did help the Maintainer lift the motor but the motor was light enough that no assistance was actually necessary.

 The record shows no signal work was performed on either date requiring a maintainer or an assist rule nor was the Claimant deprived of any work or compensation.

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

        The Agreement was not violated.
