STATEMENT OF CLAIM
Claim on behalf of M. S. Johnson for the pay difference between an extra gang foreman and ballast crew foreman for 120 hours.

 OPINION OF THE BOARD
Claimant M. S. Johnson bid and accepted a job as Foreman on System Surfacing Crew No. 2. The task of the crew was to surface track between mile post A-46.00 and A-57.00. 'During the course of this work, the surfacing crew lifted some portion of the track fiveand-a-half inches. The Union contends that the lifting of track five-and-a-half inches is more than just surfacing track and Claimant should have been paid as a Ballast Crew Foreman a total of 73 cents more an hour than he received.

 Case No. 3
 Award No. 3
 (-13b(A - g
This Board has reviewed the record and is not persuaded that the claim has merit. Claimant bid a job as Foreman of a gang to surface track and other work was designated. We are not of the opinion that a distinction such as Claimant would have us draw is appropriate in this case.

AWARD

The claim is denied.
