No.answers forthcoming, leaves me no alternative but to file a suit and claim my rights and doing so I hope the matter to be resolved, action to be taken, and all lost monies be paid for, not only all these contract violations, but also for the discriminatory practice of both parties.

    30. Exhausted efforts of the follow-up on my case with no answer forthcoming.


OPINION OF BOARD: The Petitioner alleges thirty (30) violations
of the February 26, 1976 Agreement. The Carrier
states that only Paragraph 6 of the asserted violations was handled in
the usual manner on the property pursuant to Section 3 First (i) of
the Railway Labor Act and Circular No. 1 of the National Railroad
Adjustment Board. We are unable to find any indication that Carrier's
contention in this regard is in error.

The record shows that the subject of Paragraph 6 (an asserted improper assignment) was handled on the property and was successfully concluded by mutual understanding between the Vice General Chairman of the Organization and the Carrier's Manager, Labor Relations. Thereafter, "the files were closed." Thus, any dispute concerning Paragraph 6 has been mooted, and that claim is dismissed. The remaining asserted violations were never handled in the usual manner on the property, and are dismissed for that reason.

FINDINGS: The Third Division of the Adjustment Board, after giving the
parties to this dispute due notice of hearing thereon, and
upon the whole record and all the evidence, finds and holds:
                    Award Number 22092 Page 4

                    Docket Number MS-22048


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

        That the Agreement was not violated.

        Claims dismissed.
