CARRIER'S QUESTION AT ISSUE:


BACKGROUND:
 a. History of Dispute On February 9, 1984 the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) served a Notice of Exemption in Finance Docket No. 30396 approving the acquisition by the Union Pacific Railroad Company (UP) of a nineteen mile portion of the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company's (MP) Crete Subdivision extending from near Hickman, Nebraska to Crete, Nebraska. The ICC imposed conditions for the protection of employees set forth in New York Dock Ry.Control-Brooklyn Eastern District, 350 I.C.C. 60 (1979) (New York Dock Conditions).

Section 4 of the New York Dock Conditions stating in pertinent part that:

The notice also estimated that the following employees would be affected:

 1 MP fireman, 1 :~ conductor, 2 MP brakemen, 2 UP conductors,and 4 UP
 brakemen.
 The parties entered into negotiations for an implementing
 agreement as also provided in Article I, Section 4 of the New York Dock
 Conditions. Certain threshold issues could not be resolved and the matter
 was submitted to arbitration as further provided in Article I, Section 4.
 After the arbitration award issued resolving those issues, the parties
 again entered into negotiations which resulted in agreement on May 7, 1985.
 The transfer was effectuated on May 8, 1985.
 Prior to May 8, 1985 an `iP local operated between Crete and
 Aldo Junction to the east delivering traffic to Aldo Junction for handling
 by UP trains. A UP local operated between Lincoln, Nebraska through Aldo
 Junction to Beatrice, Nebraska to the south. Another local operated from
 Bestwall, Kansas through Marysville, Kansas to Beatrice to the north
 handling traffic destined for Crete and Lincoln. UP Interdivisional
 pool service operated between Council Bluffs, Iowa and Marysville, Kansas
 to the south. At Aldo Junction the Lincoln local handled traffic brought
 to Aldo Junction from Crete by the MP local. However, when the Lincoln
 local did not operate the Council Bluffs-Marysville I. D. pool service performed the work of the Lincoln local, including the work at Aldo Junction.
 On May 8, 1985 the MP local operating between Crete and Aldo Junction was eliminated. The Lincoln local went through Aldo Junction into Crete, thus absorbing the work of the MP local. Pick ups and set outs at Aldo Junction were eliminated.
 On May 10, 1985 a First District pool turn in the I.D. service operating between Council Bluffs and Marysville was abolished at the request of the UP Local Chairman. Subsequently, the Organization contended that the pool turn was abolished as a result of the transfer of the Crete Subdivision and filed the claim on behalf of UP crews pulled from service as a result of the abolishment of the pool turn. The Carrier denied the claim on the ground that abolishment of the pool turn was not a result of the Crete transaction.
 The parties were unable to resolve their dispute. Arbitration was invoked under Article I, Section 11 of the New York Dock Conditions. Hearing in this case was held on April 15, 1986 in Omaha, Nebraska. The parties filed prehearing submissions and presented oral arguments at the hearing. The parties agreed to extend the time within which this Committee would render its decision.
The Organization argues that the abolishment of the Council Bluffs-Marysville pool turn resulted from the Crete transaction. The
