 PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
 (Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company

 STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Claim of the General Committee of the Brotherhood
 of Railroad Signalmen on the Louisville and
 Nashville Railroad Company:

 On behalf of Signalmen C. C. Dennis and B. R. Harrison, headquarters Signal Gang 413, Boyles Yard, Alabama, for 52 hours each at their respective overtime rates account Mr. G. L. Tanner, SupervisorMaintenance on the Southern R Signal Maintainer G. D. Jacobs performing work involving the wiring and circuit changes at Boyles Yard Office Relay Room during the month of September, 1974, in conjunction with construction projects for `Five Mile Creek' and 'Bowl' Interlockings. (8 hours each on September 18, 19, 24, 25 and 26, and 4 hours each on September 20, 23 and 27, 1974)

OPINION OF BOARD: The dispute herein involves the work of making
 certain circuit changes at Carrier's Boyles Yard
 Office Relay Room during September 1974. The admitted facts, which are
 at the heart of the dispute, are that the Supervisor Maintenance, not
 included as a covered employe in the applicable Agreement, read the
 blue prints and supervised the wiring of the changes according to those
 plans. Petitioner argues that this was work which should have been
 performed by a covered employe and Carrier disagrees.

 An examination of the record indicates that there is no evidence of the Supervisor going beyond the normal scope of supervisory functions in his activities. Checking blue prints and the work for accuracy cannot be construed to be "work" within the terms of the Agreement. Carrier submitted evidence of supervisory employes functioning in a similar manner traditionally and historically; Petitioner did not submit any contrary material.

 The record is devoid of evidence in support of Petitioner's position and neither is there any apparent rule support. It must be concluded that the Supervisor in this instance was performing a normal


supervisory function to see that the work was properly performed in accordance with traditional practice on the property. Accordingly, the Claim must be denied.

        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 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

                                            _7.

        That the Agreement was not violated.
