 As Third Party in interest, the Transportation Communications Union was advised of the pendency of this dispute and filed a Submission with the Division.

 The facts indicate that no conference was held as required by Rule 47 of the Agreement and the Railway Labor Act. For the reasons set forth in Third Division Award 26749, the Claim must be dismissed.

 Finally, even if the merits could be reached, we can find nothing in the applicable Agreement between the Carrier and the Organization which supports the Claimant's position that such Agreement was violated.
