CASE None
(BU-6829-33)

STATEMENT
OF CLAIM: "l. Carrier violated the agreement between the parties on Febru
ary 25, 1960 and on subsequent dates when it required=or
permitted employes not covered by said agreement to secure
Form 'A' and block indications at Elk Run Junction, Pennsyl
vania.

Carrier shall be required to compensate Operator J. E. Wachob in the amount of a day's pay (8 hours) on February 259, 1960 and other claimants in the same amount on subsequent dates on which similar violations are established,"

FINDINGS: Carrier's defense that Elk Run Junction is within the Yard limits of
Riker is of no help because nowhere in the applicable agreement is
"Yard Limits" per se set forth as a permissible area for use of.the telephone.

Claim sustained.
