(Herman Campbell PARTIES TO DISPUTE:

STATEMENT OF CLAIM: "This is to serve notice, as required by the
 National Railroad Adjustment Board, of my intention to.file and ex parts submission on January 20, 1978, covering an unadjusted dispute between myself and Conrail, involving the following:

 I was given 4 weeks vacation last year, which I felt I was entitled to. Now, Conrail states I was only entitled to 2 weeks vacation. They have already taken 1 week's wages and intend to take 1 more week of my wages for the 2 weeks vacation that Conrail claims I did not have coming to me. If I did not have the weeks vacation coming, why were they given to me? I received 3 weeks vacation since 1971 from the ErieLackawanna. I feel that my 2 weeks that I am entitled to 3 weeks vacation since I have 10 qualifying years, but, they are not consecutive, Rule 33, Appendix No. 2., etc.

 I would like the traveling expense returned to the carpenter gang, which were Erie-Lackawanna employees. This has been taken from us. We have our headquarters in camp cars. We are now 75 miles away from home, but have been 92 miles away from home earlier last year. Rule 34E of the Erie-Lackawanna agreement states we will have our traveling expenses paid if the railroad does not furnish us with transportation."

 with the provisions of the applicable cpUeetive bargaining Agreement and
 as required by Section 3, First (i) of the Railway Labor Act and Circular
 No. 1 of the National Railroad Adjustment Board. Therefore, the claim is
 barred from consideration by the Division and will be dismissed.
