PUBLIC LAW BOARD N0. 400
 UNITED TRANSPORTATION UNION (E)
 and
 MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY
 STATEMENT
 OF CLAIM: Time claims of Fireman Leslie F. Bradley for 100 miles each day,
 from September 1, 1963, account being denied the right to continue
 working as a fireman through the instructions of Superintendent
 Fletcher (;o Superintendent Jones on the contention that the claimant
 established no seniority and his resignation to become effective
 September 1, 1963, was submitted--Missouri Division.
 FINDINGS: This case involves several claims, the only one of which being
 considered is Case No. 4243. The other matters were disposed of by
 the National Rules Committee. The facts are that the claimant was
 offered, and accepted, summer employment with this Carrier. Before
 the claimant was hired, it was made abundantly clear to him that
 his employment would be for the summer months only. This railroad,
 along with many other railroads, offers summer employment to
 college students, and such is generally done with the blessings of
 the various labor organizations.
 airing the oral presentation of this case, the Organization member
 of this Board expressed great concern that a denial award might
 adversely affect the current working Agreement. A full discussion
 of the matter clcarly revealed that there was no hint of subter
 fuge and that the entire matter was handled in an open and above
 board manner.
 This handling applies to summer employment only and does not extend
 to men who hire out for other than summertime jobs.
 AWARD: Claim denied.
