and be compensated accordingly for dates subsequent to January 6, 1956, the Icing
Foreman is instructed and required to perform this clerical work. All subsequent
violations to be determined by a joint check of Carrier's payroll and other records.
SINDINGS: Prior to claim date here the Icing Foreman made memorandums on switch
 
lists as to the data in connection with the icing of refrigerated cars
at Pine Bluff. When more than six cars at a time were involved a yard clerk was
used to perform this work.
Subsequent thereto a printed form was used to make the memorandums about
the re-icing, instead of the switch lists as had been used previously. We see no
distinction between the two methods of doing the work. It was merely a memorandum
of the actual work performed and could properly be performed by the foreman. It
was the practice to use a clerk when there were more than six cars at a time involved.
If, under the circumstances in the instant claim, there were instances
where more than six cars at a time were involved and no clerk used to perform it,
claimant should be paid a call for tlv amount of time necessary to dispose of the
cars in question.
These Findings include the dates specified in the claim, but do not contemplate subsequent dates as such a claim would be too indefinite.
AWARD: Claim disposed of in keeping with the above Findings.
