 QUESTIONS
 AT ISSUE: (1) Were the displacement rights of J. C.
 Mitchell, an unprotected employe, nulli
 fied and ineffective because the junior
 employe whom he sought to displace (Arthur
 B. McKee) was a protected employe?

            (2) Should J. C. Mitchell be reimbursed for the earnings lost, including holiday pay, from April 17 through April 21, 1967 and from May 16 through June 2, 1967 (19 days)?


OPINION OF BOARD: This case is identical with that of Award No.
          (Case No. IV-9-SE), and the award is also the same.
