PARTIES The Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks TO DISPUTE) St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company

__; OF CLATM: Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood:

(1) That Carrier violated the Clerks? current Agreement when, on April 25, 1955, it abolished Camp Steward positions on Extra Gangs No s. 1, 5, 7-T and B-T, while the work of the said positions yet remained.

(2) That Messrs. Dewey Burnside and 4T. B. Jenkins and any other Texarkana Dining Car Department employees, who may be affected, be reimbursed for any monetary loss for which they may have, or might suffer, as a result of the Carrier's action in abolishing the Camp Steward positions April 25, 1955, and until the violation is corrected.

FINDINGS: Claim is made here because Camp Steward positions on four gangs were consolidated and new positions of two camp stewards advertised.

The facts disclose that the number of men employed on the four gangs involved had been reduced to such an extent that there was not sufficient work on any one gang to justify the employment of a camp steward, but by rearrangement of the work carrier was able to provide a job for a camp steward by using him on two gangs. That was what was done here, and there was no violation of the agreement.

AWARD: Claim denied.
