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

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.
