not work. The Organization alleges, however, that work assigned to Claimants'
positions was performed by Train Dispatchers on those dates. Performance of

Operator's duties by Train Dispatchers on holidays, the organization argues, is in violation of the Work on Unassigned Days Provision of the parties' agreement.




The Carrier argues that Claimants' positions were properly blanked on the holidays in question and that "Positively no work belonging to the Claimant Operators was performed by Train Dispatchers on any of the dates of claim."

We have examined carefully the entire record in this dispute and we are unable to find where any work of Claimants' positions was performed by Train Dispatchers on the-three holidays.

        The claim will 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 Employee 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.
