Is. and Is. These rules set up
methods of payment for delays at

counter method of payment for
engineers and firemen (helpers, :;
conductors and brakemen and yard
men.

ployes in pool freight, regular and
unassigned freight and regular pas

tinuous time, at the regular rate

nections shall be paid for all time

of service performed during a trip
or days work.

paid local freight rates when re-
quired to handle freight or perform

Neither road nor yard service men
may claim pay under yard regula-
tions when such work is performed
by road crews.
