This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.



As Third Party in Interest, the Brotherhood of Railway, Airline and Steamship Clerks were advised of the pendency of this dispute and filed Suhmission with the Division
The issues in the instant dispute are virtually identical to those involved in Third Division .Award 26749. Here, as there, the facts show that no conference was held as required by the Railway Labor Act. Furthermore, even if the merits could he reached, we can find nothing in the applicable Agreement between the Carrier and BRAC which supports the Claimant's position that such Agreement was violated.
