                  OPINION OF THE HOARD


This case involves 39 employes who exercised seniority to new positions in a 40-man Timbering and Surfacing Gang headquartered at Jena, Tennessee.

                                Petitioner contends that since the employes fOr.thiE r

Gang were recruited from all over the railroad, they should have been housed in camp cars and paid meal and mileage expenses.
 Carrier contends that the Gang was-advertised as a Fixed Location Gang. It was established at Jena, Tennessee, and remained there for about one nonth. until the work was completed. The employes involved reported on and off duty each day at Jena. They were not required by the nature of their work to live away from home. The fact that people who bid on this Gang did not live near Jena has no bearing on their status under the Agreement. Carrier designated Extra Gang 5676 as a 40-man Timbering and Surface Gang headquartered at Jena, Tennessee. People who worked in that Gang are not entitled to meal and housing allowances.
