(Paul Stone PARTIES TO DISPUTE:


STATEMENT OF CLAIM: "This is to serve notice, as required by the
Rules of the National Railroad Adjustment Board of my intention to file an Ex-Parte Submission (30 days from the date of this notice), covering an unadjusted dispute between me and the REA Express Inc., 219 East 42 Street, New York City,.

I believe I have been illegally discharged by REA Express and not protected by the Union involved B.R.A.C., Local No. 2130.

Subsequently, I was re-instated to the metropolitan roster but never recalled on the District Accounting or Credit Roster.

My investigation reveals I would have been eligible to move when the Roster was transferred to Chattanooga, Tennessee.

I seek payment of the lost wages from April 24, 1972, to the present.plus payment for my own hospitalization plan and dental expenses.

I would, also, have been eligible for moving expenses to Chattanooga, Tennessee, which I now seek.

Re-Instatement and recall notices will be part of my ExParte Submission together with proof of earni contractual violation."
