 QUESTION
 AT ISSUE: "Does the transferring of any work performed by employees
 covered by the Telegraphers' Agreement to employees not
 covered by that Agreement constitute a violation of Arti
 cle III, Section 1?"
 OPINION
 OF BOARD: It is alleged that carrier violated Article III, Section 1, of
 the February 7, 1965 Agreement when it installed IBM equipment
 and made certain changes in work assignments at Memphis,
 Tennessee involving a transfer of work to employees not covered
 by the Telegraphers' Agreement. The same issue was the subject
 of a claim before Public Law Board No. 433 between the parties which resulted
 In Award No. 17. That decision, held there was insufficient evidence to estab
 lish that the operation of the Iaf Data Communications Systems was reserved
 exclusively to telegraphers under the schedule agreement.

 In view of this fact, the Committee must hold that there was no crossing of craft lines in violation of Article III. See SBA 605 Awards 2, 11, 19 and 204. The claim has no merit.

            The answer to the question at issue is in the negative.
