PER CURIAM.
The appellants, who were employees of the appellee Railroad Company, brought a suit against the Railroad and a Union, of which the appellants were members, claiming that the Railroad and the Union had unlawfully abolished their jobs. The district court denied relief and this Court affirmed. Britton v. Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, 5th Cir. 1962, 303 F.2d 274. In remanding to the district court, this Court authorized the filing of an amended complaint. The amended complaint was filed. Motions for summary judgment were made by the Railroad and the Union. The district court granted summary judgment against the appellants, holding, as it and this Court had held on the former appeal, that exclusive jurisdiction was in the Railway Adjustment Board.

The judgment of the district court is
Affirmed.
