 ~.,..
 DOCKET NO. 65 63
          The Referee in Award No. 6719, Docket No. 6563, along

      with the majority in this instant award, caused gross violence

      to Rule 20 - Grievances, when they made such an absurd inter

      pretation of the rule by stating:


              "* * * The language therein is clear and readily understandable. The common and ordinary meaning of the words therein say nothing of pay.to representatives attending investigations. A contrary practice may not supply those words and meanings. Such a practice may not controvene the explicit provisions in Rule 20. It follows that a practice established contrary to such explicit language may be terminated at will."

      Many prior awards of.this Board were cited with the Referee which held that where a Rule is either worded ambiguously or silent on a particular issue, then past practice will be a governing factor.

      In this connection the record irrefutably showed a past practice of paying representatives attending investigations for as long as this rule has been in effect on the property. The Carrier conceded this as did the Referee in this award, where=in he stated:


              "Nevertheless, we shall decide the issue on the assumption that the local practice did exist until February 4, 1971."


          Then, after this admission of fact, the Referee tries to


~ nullify it by the astounding conclusion that the language of
 Er J. Haesaert, Labor'Member

            T

D. S. Anderson, Labor Mei;2ber

 this rule is not ambiguous and/or silent on this compensation issue. He concedes or states in one instance that the rule does not have language on this compensation issue, yet twists this conclusion to mean that compensation was not therefore intended. The Referee chooses to ignore the cited awards that held exactly the opposite, i.e. that past practice prevails

 when the rule is silent.

 For inexplicable reasons of his own, the neutral then has conversely attempted to write into this rule that committeemen will not be paid while performing without a doubt their most important and responsible function of representing charged employes. Many awards, also rules of this Division and laws of the land, properly hold that he is not empoi-rered to do this to rules. Rather than to properly allay, alleviate or settle labor strife, the neutral has herein ignored these proper functions by actually increasing these .factors.
 The evidence of. record extending for many years, both on this property and before this Division, irrefutably portrays that the findings and conclusions of the majority are without: reason, common sense and in contradiction to established sound precedents, for which factors we vigorously dissent.
