(Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes PARTIES TO DISPUTE: (

STATEMENT OF CLAIM: "Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood that:

 1. The Carrier violated the Agreement when it assigned Boilermakers to attach heater brackets to the superstructure at Huntington Shops on March 2, 1983 (System File C-TC-1718/MG-4016).

 2. Because of the aforesaid violation, Messrs. C. R. Stratton, W. W. Smith, H. Clay, I. Wiley, K. D. Brown, S. Byrd, D. L. Farnsworth and C. Hanshaw shall each be allowe performing the work referred to in Part (1) hereof."

 OPINION OF BOARD: On March 2, 1983, the Carrier assigned Boilermakers to
 attach heater brackets to the superstructure in the Hun
 tington Shops, Huntington, West Virginia. The Organization charges the work
 involved has customarily and historically been assigned to and performed by
 the Carrier's Bridge and Structure Group forces. The Organization also
 contends that attaching heater brackets to the structural steel columns in the
 shop buildings is work reserved to the Bridge and Structure Group forces under
 Rule 66(c), which in pertinent part states:

The Carrier, in responding to the initial Claim explained that the two boilermakers attached a clamping device to the building structure without holes being burned or drilled and consumed one man hour. Upon notification, the Boilermakers submitted an intervening statement claiming the disputed work is exclusively reserved to them.

 This Board finds no probative evidence of record to support the Organization's claim that the work in question is covered by the specific terms of the controlling Agreement. We fully endorse the findings of Third Division Award 25652 involving the same parties, which in pertinent part held:
                      Docket Number MW-25856


          "Installation of brackets, involving as it did here the drilling of holes in and affixing of brackets to structural columns, does not in any manner constitute the construction, maintenance or removal of a structure."


Given the unrebutted fact that the disputed work herein did not even require the drilling of holes, this Board must deny the Claim.

 FINDINGS: The Third Division of the Adjustment Board, after giving the
 parties to this dispute due notice of hearing thereon, and upon the
 whole record and all the evidence, finds and holds:

 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.

        Claim denied.
