AWARD # REFEREE RAILROAD
First Division Award 7511 Carter Norfolk and Western

First Division Award No. 7511 (Carter)

"The decision hinges upon the interpretation to be given a clause contained in a note to Article 28 * * * reading as follows: `Working conditions heretofore applicable to crews engaged in mine switching or Elkhorn service are to be continued unchanged.' * * * We are of the opinion that the words `working conditions' as used in the note are synonymous with `schedule rules'. The record is replete with evidence that such term is so used by those engaged in railroad schedule making. * * *."
