FINDINGS:
The Third Division Df the Adjustment Board, upon the whole record
and all the evicence, :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 'nerein.
Parties to said dispute waived right of appearance at hearing
thereon.
This Claim concerns work performed on terminal elevator tracks in the
East Kansas City '· 'a rd by other than Maintenance of Way employees. The record
demonstrates that cork on these tracks is the responsibility of the lessee
(Kansas City Terminal Flevator Company). Rules as to reservation of work to
Maintenance of -,;ay employees are clearly not applicable where the Carrier has
no control over the work. Since the Organization cannot defeat this basic
principle in this instance, there is no basis for the Claim.
