1. -  Omaha Mr. C. J. Colombo  -  Cheyenne Mr. H. B. Jopling  -  Kansas City (CC  -  Mr. O. A. Durrant  -  Cheyenne Mr. C. T. Alford  -  Denver ) 

Claim was recently submitted to this office because a yardman was automatically placed on the board by crew dispatcher at the conclusion of his vacation, however, it developed that the individual desired to take additional time and there was at that time sufficient men on the extra board to protect the service. 

In order to have a uniform application it will be understood that at any time an employe is off account vacation, leave of absence, sickness, etc., he must advise the proper party when he desires to again resume duty. 

This understanding, of course, will have no effect on an employe being required to secure a proper leave of absence when necessary.
