been assigned to employees covered by the Clerks' Agreement.

also shown that
at other points on the property the weighing of cars is performed by employees
other than those covered by the Clerkst Agreement. Upon these facts we cannot-find
that the weighing of cars is exclusively clerical work. (See Awards
