MEMORANDUM

Chicago, Illinois
December 16, 1953

Referring to the vacation agreement, as amended by the agree-
ment signed this date, between employes represented by the Broth-
erhood of Railroad Trainmen and carriers represented by the
Eastern, Western and Southeastern Carries' Conference Com-
mittees:

Effective January 1, 1954, it is understood that if an employe
who performed the necessary qualifying service in the year prior
to the year of his death, dies before receiving such vacation or
payment in lieu thereof, payment of the allowance for rich
vacation shall be made to his widow.

For example, if an employe performs 160 days of service in
1953 and dies in 1954 before receiving his 1954 vacation, pay-
ment in lieu thereof will be made to his widow. No vacation
allowance will be due for 1955 even though such employe may
have worked 160 days in 1954.

Similar memorandum dated February 5, 1954 between em-
ployes represented by the Order of Railway Conductors and
Brakemen and Carriers represented by the Eastern, Western
and Southeastern Carriers’ Conference Committees is applicable
on this property.
