OPINION
OF E02iuD: The parties are in agreement as to ti:e facts. Th rough a
series of errors, ?:d:cins was per::itted to dis?lace Dillon
and inns himself displaced by a senior < :?loyec. _..~rea~ter,
chin was filed on 'Dehal-= of Dillon which w_,s settled for
$1,451.82. HOS·)CVeY, althCug:; Adkins i:aS am_-r0~ erly Gn tn1S
position on October 1, 1964, neVertaeleSS, the Orga^.1Zati0 ; contends that
he should continue to be paid on the basis of the higher rate.

          The issue presented herein involves the unusual situation

that despite having only one position of Special __atistical Cler::
A-210, rate Of $29.49 per day, the Car--ier, at the present is
paying two employees the specified rate for this position under t',^.e
Job Stabilization ASreez!2nt.

The genesis of th is dile:_..a n·z the G_,·-;a::izac-io::'s contention that Dill-on. was the proper inc~L-.'=ent cf the job on Cctcber 1, 1964, instead of Ad,cins, to w::ic;i the Carrier agreed. Subseuuently, to OrZz, ization reversed its position and al-vued that -.dz-ia wzs .`.'.e proper employee. 'Hence, the Organization.^.OL) insists that both employees be protected on the one position.

It appears to us that Claimant Dillon, t~:e pro-Der incumbent of the position, is the only one who is entitled to the protection.

                      AG; and


          Based on the facts in this case the answar to euestior.s

I and 2 is in the relative.
