 ISSUE IN Claim of Mr. C. F. Ray for transfer
 DISPUTE: allowance under Article III, Section
 1 and 2, of the February 7, 1965
 Mediation Agreement.
 OPINION This is another of the cases involving the aboli
 OF BOARD: tion of a position in which the employee seeks a
 transfer allowance when he exercises his seniority
 and moves to a distant location. Award No. 7 denied a similar
 claim and other awards have followed it consistently. Considera
 tion of the Employes' position in this case suggests no reason
 why Award No. 7 should not be followed.

              Claim denied.
