PARTIES ) Chicago and North Western Railway Company
 TO THE ) and
 DISPUTE ) Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees

 QUESTION
 AT ISSUE: Does the attached implementing agree
 ment proposed by the carrier fully
 comply with the provisions of Article
 III of the Agreement, and if not, in
 what respect should it be changed
 before tr ans'erring employees on the
 basis of- these provisions?
 OPINION
 OF BOARD: Since neither of the two protected employees
 to be transferred from Subdivision No. 2 to
 Maintenance Gangs No. 463 and No. 964 have 15 years of sen
 iority, it is unnecessary for the Implementing Agreement to
 contain a provision concerning retention of seniority rights
 on Subdivision No. 2. In other respects the issues are similar
 to those in Award No. 79 (Case No. Ntl-20-W) .

              The Implementing Agreement proposed by Carrier should be changed before transferring employees in accordance with the Opinion herein and Award No. 79 (Case No. ifiW-20-w) .
