 PARTIES TO DISPUTE:
 (Missouri Pacific Railroad Company

 STATEMENT OF CLAIM: "Claim of the General Committee of the Brotherhood of
 Railroad Signalmen on the Missouri Pacific Railroad
 Company:

 In behalf of Signalman J. R. Tyson; Assistant Signalmen Ricardo A. Martinez, Ronnie D. Gatewood and Larry I. Barnes; gang 1373, Palestine, Texas, for eight hours' pay at one and one-half times their straight time hourly rate of pay for November 13, 1977." LCarrier file: K 225-766/

 OPINION OF BOARD: The Claimants normally work Monday through Friday,
 however they were required to report for duty at
 8:00 p. m. on Sunday, November 13, 1977. This action was motivated by the
 Carrier's desire to have the individuals available for work on the next
 ensuing day and still permit them to have sufficient rest to comply with
 the Hours of Service Act.

 The Carrier allowed certain overtime payments, however the Organization claims 8 hours compensation at the .time and one-half rate.

 The Carrier points out the basic need for transporting the Employes to the wcrk site on the preceding evening, so as to insure as little disruption to the signal system as possible, and it also reminds the Board that it paid travel time to the Employes as required by the applicable agreement. Moreover, the Carrier argues that the Employes have failed to cite a pertinent rule which requires the paypent requested in the claim.

 We have reviewed the record in its entirety and, limited solely to the record before us and the rules cited by the parties, we are unable to find that the Employes have set forth a valid basis for the claim. Accordingly, we have no alternative but to deny the claim, as presented.


        FILINGS: 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;

 That this Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein; and

        That the Agreement was not violated.
