 FINDINGS: This Public Law Board No. 1532 finds that the parties
 Tern cin are Carrier and Employee within the meaning of the Railway
 Labor Act, as amended, and that this Board has jurisdiction.

 In this dispute the claimant was notified December 6, 1979 that lie was off-in-force reduction at close of work December 7, 1979. The claimant was further notified that he was subject to recall per Article 2, Section 6.

 As of February 11, 1900 the claimant had not filed his address with the proper officer as prescribed by Article 2, Section o of the agreement. Thereafter by letter dated February 11, 1930 the claimant was advised that his name was being removed from the Tracla;ian's roster for failure to file his address in accordance with Article 2, Section 6 of the agreement.

 The Organization filed a claim to restore the claimant's name to the Illinois Division Trackman's seniority roster t.:ith compensation for any time lost as a result of his name being removed from the roster.

 The claimant was rehired effective June 2, 1980, and the Carrier a-reed to allow the Organization to pursue the Carriers monetary liability for the period of February 11, 1980 to June 1, 1980.

 The agree-went provides that if an employee fails to file his address in ur~tinu with the Carrier within fifteen days after the reduction in force that such would result i..i forfeiture of seniority. The evidence licrein is persuasive tlu;L the claimant failed Lo file his address in writing with the Carrier.

 Under the circumstances herein there is no justification for pay for time lost. However, it is the opinion of the Board that the claimant's seniority should be restored and his effective date of seniority should be June 13, 1979.


AWARD: Claim disposed of as per above.

 ORDER: The Carrier is directed to comply with this award within tTiirty days from the date of this award.
