Section 1

The regulation of all pools is to be governed as follows:

A Unless otherwise agreed to in writing between the local committees and local officers, when pool freight crews average below 3900 miles
per month a crew may be taken out When they average above 4200 miles per month a crew may be added, if the addition will not cause the
average to go below 3900 miles per month. It is understood that, in event of temporary fluctuations in business, these mileage limits may be
deviated from by agreement between the local officers and the local chairmen, such agreement to be in writing. Local chairmen and local
officers will cooperate in carrying out the intent of this article.

B. When business fluctuates m such an extent that pool crews average less than 1950 miles, or more than 2100 miles in either of the 15 day
checking periods as now in effect, the trainmaster shall reduce or increase the number of places in the pool as the mileage may require,
service permitting. In the event the addition of another place will cause the mileage to drop below 1950 miles no addition will be made. It is
further agreed that in the event of temporary fluctuations of business these mileage limitations may be deviated from by agreement between
the local chairmen and the local officers. Such agreement will be in writing. In the event there are mom or less than 15 days in the second
checking period of the month the pool shall be regulated on a 15 day average for that period.


Section 2

Overtime, held-away, and deadheading shall be computed and counted as mileage, unless otherwise provided.
