AMARILLO, Tex.--A rule providing that a conductor having displacement rights may exercise his seniority in either class of service, as conductor or brakeman, is contained in an agreement with Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (Eastern and Western Lines) and Panhandle & Santa Fe Railway.
The agreement is effective July 15, 1952. Among other rules in the pact are those which stipulate:
When necessary to use emergency conductors, the senior available emergency conductor will be used, provided: Conductors not desiring work as such will file written notice with proper officer of the company. This notice must be given five days in advance of the effective date and five days in advance of withdrawal.
These men will not be used so long as other emergency conductors are available; if other emergency conductors are not available, the restricted conductor will protect the service in reverse order of seniority.
An emergency conductor who stands for a turn and is permitted to lay off, must, when reporting, take the turn he stood to protect if the vacancy still exists.
The application of single seniority referred to above is the result of a referendum taken by the membership on the property.
