FINDINGS: Special Board of Adjustment No. 194, upon the whole record and all the evidence, finds and holds:

The Carrier and Employee involved in this dispute are respectively Carrier and Employes within the meaning of the itailway Labor Act as amended.

This Special Board of Adjustment has jurisdiction over this dispute.

This claim presents the question whether the Agreement prevents the Carrier from removing janitor work from a Group 2 Station Helper position and assigning it to Ticket Clerk and Yard Clerk Group 1 positions. 2
Prior to January 10, 1955 there were two Group/positions at Ft, Smith with substantially the same duties: a Station Porter and a Station Helper. Both positions worked trains and performed the janitor work. The Station Porter position was abolished January 10, 1955.

On March 27, 1956 "considerable complaint having been received

about janitors work," the Carrier assigned the janitor work at the passenger sta
tion to Ticket Clerks (clean 2 waiting rooms, wash 9 windows, wash 2 double
doors and 1/2 door) except cleaning rest rooms which the Station Helper con
tinued to perform. And on July 5 the Carrier assigned the janitor work at the
yard office to Yard Clerks (clean office and toilets, clean switchmen's room and

locker room, clean bathroom and toilet, wash 2 double, 6 merle sash windows and 2 half sash doors).

For the reasons stated in SBA No. 194 Award 19 the claim must be denied.
