represented by
ORDER OF RAILWAY CONDUCTORS

TWO AND THREE WEEK VACATIONS-
DIVIDED INTO TWO PERIODS
It is agreed:
- Conductors qualified to receive two or three weeks vacation under the agreement effective January 1, 1954, who are working at district terminals of extra conductors, may request permission to take one week or two consecutive weeks of their vacation in advance of the scheduled vacation period under the same conditions that such employes are permitted to change their vacations in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of the agreement “Vacation Schedules”, dated February 10, 1954, reading as follows:
“Vacations as selected in accordance with the above will be shown on the vacation schedule separately for conductors and brakemen for each seniority roster, and a copy furnished to the respective local chairmen. Dates selected will not be subject to change thereafter except that, if it is found there is a surplus of men in any seniority district, employees desiring vacation at that time may be relieved on request of the individual and approval of the officer in charge, giving preference to senior men, and the assigned vacation period cancelled.”
- The request showing the advance period selected shall be made in writing to the appropriate supervising officer by the individual conductor who may be relieved at that time, if there is a surplus of extra conductors available, upon approval of that officer. If more than one request is made for the same period, preference will be given in seniority order of conductors.
- Conductors who are permitted to advance one or two consecutive weeks of their vacation will submit separate time returns for the advanced portion and the regularly scheduled portion, and payroll allowances will be made accordingly.
- It is understood this agreement applies only at district terminals of extra conductors and that no time claims will be recognized because of the splitting of vacations.
- This agreement is effective March 16, 1957 and will automatically terminate ten days after either party serves written notice upon the other of desire to terminate it.
