"(a) The Southern Pacific Transportation Company violated
the Agreement between the (former Pacific Electric Railway Company)
and its Employes represented by the Brotherhood of Railroad
Signalmen,
effective September 1, 1949
(including revisions)
particularly the
Scope Rule and also violated the Memorandum of Agreement between the
Southern Pacific Company and the Pacific Electric Railway regarding
the Harbor Belt Railroad, when it allowed employes belonging to and/or
subcontracted by the P. A. Placek
Construction Company
to perform
work belonging to the Bonder and Welder.

/Carrier file: SIG 152-360/
OPINION OF BOARD: The Petitioner in this case complains of work on
the Harbor Belt Railroad being allotted to other
than Signal employes of the former Pacific Electric Railway Company.
Petitioner asserts that such work assignment was a violation of the
Agreement between it and the latter company. No agreement between
Petitioner and Harbor Belt is shown.
The Respondent Carrier in this dispute has shown that while
work of the type in question has been performed by its employes on
the Harbor Belt, Harbor Belt at all times retained control of work on
its property.
It follows that Respondent is not responsible for the act
complained of and that this 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;
Award Number 2222$ Page 3
Docket Number SG-22150
That this Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction
aver the dispute involved herein; and
That the Agreement was not violated.
A W A R D
Claim denied.
