STATEMENT OF CIAIM:

    Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood that:


1. The Carrier violated the effective Agreement by assigning Extra Gang laborer R. T. Barber, a Southern Division employe to work on Extra Gang No. 4, Foreman Ray Watkins, Northern Division, during the period February 10, 11, 12 and 1,3, 1959, instead of assigning Extra Gang laborer Jesse Moore, who holds seniority rights on the Northern Division.

2. That Claimant Extra Gang laborer Jesse Moore be now paid a total number of hours as was worked by Extra Gang laborer R. T. Barber on the dates referred to in Part 1 of this claim.

FINDINGS: Extra Gang Laborer R. T. Barber, who held seniority on the Southern
seniority District, has no rights to services on the Northern seniority
District. Therefore, the Board finds that the carrier violated the effective Agree
ment.

However, due to the fact that the claimant, Extra Gang laborer Jesse Moore, who holds seniority rights on the Northern Division, was working at Pine Bluff on February 10, 11, 12 and 13, 1959, as an Extra Gang laborer, his monetary claim will be denied.

AWARD: Claim denied.
