 situations where a signal main-

 tainer, track patrolman, section foreman or signal supervisor during his tour of duty, received a lineup from the train dispatcher by calling him on the dispatcher's circuit from blind sidings where no telegrapher was or had been

 employed.

 property have established an inT,erpret,:.tion of the Agreement here to permit employes of the categories here involved to obtain sun- i.ineups at such points.
 It is true that the lineups here received were obtained directly from the dispatcher and not from a telegrapher; however, there was no communication on the Dotsero Cutoff where these calls originated except by means of the dispatchers phone circuit. It was necessary for the employe calling to first contact the dispatcher and it would seem to be immaterial whether the dispatcher then directly furnished the information or, in answer to the inquiry, rang the telegrapher and, with the caller listening in, reported the lineup to the telegrapher so that he could relay it to the motor car operator or other employe calling. AWARD: Claim denied.
