 FINDINGS:
 The Third Division of the Adjustment Board upon the whole record
 and all the evidence, finds that:

 The carrier or carriers and the employe or employes involved in this dispute are respectively carrier and employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act as approved June 21, 1934.

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

The Board has carefully reviewed the record progressed by the parties. In essence, what we have and lacked a sufficient specificity for the Carrier to act upon. Although correspondence in the record provides some additional clarification as to the specifics of the initial Claim, and while we understand the arguments made by the Organization before this Board, we must dismiss the Claim because it was neither timely filed, nor specific enough for the Carrier to act upon it.

        Claim dismissed.
