1. Carrier violated the agreement between the parties hereto when on
March 19, 1951, at 3:54 P.M., and on March 20, 1951, at 9:49 A.M., it caused,

hours 8 A.M. to 5 P.M., was retained. On March 19 and 20th, 1951, a section
foreman and a signal maintainer respectively obtained track car line-ups over
the telephone at Wolf Summit.
For the reasons set forth in our Findings in Docket No. 33 we find a sustaining Award is indicated here. We find that the claim should be sustained on
the basis of a special call on behalf of the Operator at Wolf Summit on each of
the above listed dates instead of for the senior idle Operator for one day's pay
as claimed.
