THE ORDER OF RAILROAD TELEGRAPHERS
THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO RAILROAD COMPANY

Parties:

AWARD IN DOCKET NO. 47

STATEMENT OF CLAIM:

1. Carrier violated the Agreement between the parties when on March 31, 1959, it required or permitted an employe not covered by the Agreement at Harris Ferry, West Virginia, to communicate direct with the train dispatcher and exchange information concerning the movement of trains.

2. Carrier shall compensate an idle operator in the amount of a day's pay (eight hours) on March 31, 1959.

FINDINGS:

An examination of the agreed facts leads us to conclude that the information involved in the telephone conversation would have been a matter of record, and, therefore, a sustaining award is in order.

Claim sustained.
