BROTHERHOOD OF MAINTENANCE OF WAY EMPLOYES

versus

MISSOURI PACIFIC FAILROAD COMPANY


STATEMENT OF CTAIM: Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood that:

 (1) The Carrier violated the effective Agreement by declining to
 reimburse Roadway Machine Operators D. H. Turner, A. D. Lively
 and J. B. Herriage for their expenses incurred during the month of April, 1959,
 while assigned to work at Italy, Texas.

 (2) The carrier now reimburse these named Claimants in accordance with their respective expenses accounts as submitted for April, 1959.

 FINDINGS: The Agreement contains no provision regulating the location of the head
 quarters for Roadway Machine Operators and provides expenses only when
 away from headquarters. The bulletin in this case clearly stated the headquarters _
 location; there was no protest thereof at that time and the men freely bid for the
 jobs under the conditions stated in the bulletin. Accordingly, the claim is with
 out merit.
