(Brotherhood of Railway, Airline & Steamship ( Clerks, Freight Handlers, Express and ( Station Employes PARTIES TO DISPUTE: (Chicago and North Western Transportation ( Company

1. Carrier violated the Agreement Rules, particularly Rule 1 (Scope), when it contracted with an outside firm, Railroad Traffic Service Company at Greenville, Pennsylvania, to audit the intraline waybills and prepare and issue corrected freight bills to patrons in connection with errors developed as a result of the audit, and;

 2. Carrier shall compensate Head Typist Grace A. Apida and Stenographer Lillian E. Moss for 91'k hours each at their regular assigned rates on a punitive basis account of such violation because they were available to perform the service outside of their regular assigned hours.

 OPINION OF BOARD: The circumstances and events of this claim are
 commingled with those in Third Division Docket
 Number CL-21743, which was disposed of by the Board in Award Number
 21852. The claims represented in this case are directly related to
 that matter; we would err by not taking cognizance of the rationale
 applied therein. In Award 21852, the Board found the Carrier violated
 the Scope Rule by contracting out audit work properly under the
 jurisdiction of the Organization. Here companion clerical work to
 such audit functions is being claimed.

 We find nothing palpably erroneous in Award 21852 and we shall apply the same rationale here.



        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

        The Agreement was violated.
