QUESTIONS
AT ISSUE: (1) Did the Carrier violate the provisions of the February 7,
1965 Agreement, particularly Articles I and IV, when it refused,
and continually refuses, to compensate Eugene W. Kolstad, Fur
loughed Baggageman-Janitor, Superior, Wisconsin, commencing
April 25, 1970 and each work day thereafter at his guaranteed
Relief Storekeeper-Yard Clerk rata of $27.12 per day, plus subse
quent general wage increases?
(2) Shall the Carrier now be required to compensate Eugene W.
Kolstad at his guaranteed rate of $27.12 per day, plus subsequent
general wage increases, commencing April 25, 1970 and each work
day thereafter, less any compensation received for said days?

OPINION
OF BOARD: Upon abolishment of Claimant's position on April 24, 1970, he
reverted to the furloughed list inasmuch as he lacked sufficient
seniority to displace a junior employee. Otherwise, the instant
claim is similar in nature to Case No. CL-82-W.
Predicated upon our review of the facts herein, together with our
conclusions reached in Award No. 262, we are referring the matter back to the
parties for the same purpose.



1. The matter is remanded to the parties for negotiation of a local agreement in accordance with our Opinion.

2. We shall hold in abeyance the question whether Claimant is entitled to any compensation pending conclusion of an agreement for a substitute formula.
