SPECIAL BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT NO. 132

Parties: THE ORDER OF RAILROAD TELEGRAPHERS
THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY

AWARD IN DOCKET NO. 11

STATEMENT 1. Carrier violated the agreement between the parties hereto

OF CLAIM:

when on August 8, October 4, 11, 18 and 31, and November 29, 1953, respectively, it caused, required and permitted train service employees not covered by the Telegrapher's Agreement, to handle (receive, copy and deliver) train orders at Kilarm Junction, West Virginia, which work was and is reserved solely to employees covered by the Telegraphers' Agreement.

2. Carrier be required to compensate the senior idle telegrapher (extra in preference) for one day's pay (8 hours) on each date shown above.

FINDINGS: This claim is similar to that involved in Docket 16 and involves the copying of train orders at Kilarm Junction by train crews either directly from the dispatcher or from the operators at Chiefton on days when offices at either Monongah or Willard were closed. Under the 1938 Agreement it is immaterial whether the orders were copied directly from the dispatcher or the operator. The office at Chiefton being open on the dates for which claim is made for the reasons stated in our Findings in Docket 16 we find no basis for a sustaining award here.
