( Kenneth L. Hinton
Parties to Dispute:
( Union Pacific Railroad Company
Dispute: Claim of Employes:
I, Kenneth L. Hinton, have discovered a conspiracy to dwarf my access
1_o
the proper work records relating to my employment and membership with Union
Pacific Railroad, Armstrong Lodge - #762 (Brotherhood Railway Carmen), and
the U. S. Railroad Retirement Boards.
I'm p-esently appealing an Order of Honorable Judge Earl O'Connor submitted
June 28, 1982, in the Federal District Court of Kansas City, Kansas. Rule 60
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is grounds accordingly, for my appeal
as defined in my letter/motion filed February 9, 1982 with Court of Appeals -
10th Circuit, Federal District Court of Kansas - 1083, and Ronald Gott, attorney
for the Missouri Pacific Railroad, defendant in Civil Action No. 78-2123;
Appeals No.: 81-1312; 82-1865.
Provided the Second Division.of the National Railroad Adjustment Board
can honor the enclosed request, evidence will disclose my initial starting
date of employment with the Union Pacific Railroad was advanced on my personal
employment record (defendant's exhibit no. 3 embodied into defendant's Class -
A exhibit) by mistake or through collusive acts with Missouri Pacific Railroad;
Kenneth L. Hinton's body weight for the year 1968 was fraudulently recorded
from information assimilated through an incorrect unknown source, foreign
to that particular era (see exhibit Body Weight); my hand-signed signatures
were fraudulently copied and machine-typed for substitution through records
fabricated to protect incrimination of Union Pacific Railroad's past misdeeds
in aborting my access to a fair and impartial hearing (1968), and simultaneously
protecting the mutual interest of its merged "sister" company, Missouri
Pacific Railroad, trial days, November 13, 14, 1980 (Hinton v. Missouri
Pacific Railroad). This surprise rebuttal evidence (class-A exhibit of defendant)
offered some twelve years later, through acts of deceit, distortion, and
fraud (collateral), culminated in loss of credibility rating before Honorable
Judge Earl O'Connor; and thus far denial, to the Courts, access to blind
justice.
Provided the Second Division of the National Railroad Adjustment Board
can honor this request, evidence will disclose the machine-typed signatures
of R. J. Dunn - master mechanic, A. H. Blanken(?) - foreman Woodston Glidewell -
assistant local chairman (Brotherhood Railway Carmen), and 'Kenneth L. Hinton)
because of legality concerning the authenticity of signatures machine-typed.
as opposed .,, signatures hand-signed) must be regarded suspiciously.
Careful consideration should also be given to the over-dubbing of
signatures of Kenneth L. Hinton (carmen-apprentice), and Ruth Maloney (witness
to the signing of Kenneth L. Hinton's signature) some (?) significant day, on
pages one and thirteen respectively of Class-A exhibit - Transcript of
Investigation hearing. Please note Exhibit Trial Transcript.

1. Where is the date(?) located Ruth Maloney supposedly countersigned to
witness to the signing of Kenneth L. Hinton's signature located?
The distorted signature of Kenneth L. Hinton on page thirteen of Union
Pacific's Transcript of Investigation and Hearing shows an ommission
of bars in "t" of Kenneth L. Hinton, therefore, I could not give credence
to a document void of complete personality of which only I could vouch
for through my instinctive and habitual signing of Kenneth L. Hinton over
the years.
I also believe that further investigation of the contents of Class-A
Exhibit, transcript of investigation and hearing held August 29, 1968
will divulge "other" irregularities my inexperienced eye cannot detect:
because stymied attempts to work for the railroad industry by agents of
the Union/Missouri Pacific Railroad System.
Please provide as the delegated neutral party, through Act of Congress; and
in accord with Railroad Labor Act, Freedom of Information Act, LaborManagement and Disclosure Act, and Labor Management Cooperative Act, all
documents and records of information I've failed to receive by request, and
all documents I have absence of knowledge yet to receive concerning the
enclosed requests for information necessary to validate the contentions of
my letter/motion filed February 9, 1982 with Court of Appeals - 10th
Circuit and Federal District Court of Kansas - 1083.
Please provide documents and answers to questions previously denied through
incomplete answers received from enclosed information letters whereby
the repetition thus far suffered can now come to a respectful conclusion.
Findings:
The Second Division of the Adjustment Board, upon the whole record and all
the evidence, finds that:
The carrier or carriers and the employe or employes involved in this dispute
are respectively carrier and employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act
as approved June 21, 1934.

involved herein.
Parties to said dispute were given due notice of hearing thereon.
Form 1 Award No. 10120
Page 3 Docket No. 10032
2-UP-I-'84
Kenneth L. Hinton was last employed by the Carrier on September 18, 1968, at
which time he held an assignment as Carman at the Carrier's facility located at
Kansas City, Kansas. Following an investigation which was held on August 29,
1968, Mr. Hinton was dismissed from service for violating the Carrier's Operating
Rules 702 and 702 (A) for sleeping in his automobile during his regular tour of duty.
The first notice the Carrier was given of Mr. Hinton's grievance was in
November, 1982 when it received a complaint which he refers to as "forthcoming"
and sets forth the following:
"*** whether the legality of Class A Exhibit offered as rebuttal evidence
by the Missouri Pacific Railroad Company on November 14, 1980 in the
Federal District Court of Kansas, was authentic or an assimilated copy
drafted by the Missouri Pacific Railroad and the Carrier's agents to
protect their respective and mutual interests at 'costs' to Kenneth L.
Hinton."
Continuing with his "forthcoming" complaint he sets forth the following:
"Kenneth L. Hinton's in-access to secure information questioning the
authenticity of Class A Exhibit and questions whether this in-access
by agents and agencies associated with the aforementioned railroads
or within accord of the Railroad Labor Act, Freedom of Information Act,
Labor Management and Disclosure Act, and Labor-Management Cooperative
Act when information requested is most vital to Kenneth L. Hinton's
cause as representative in forma pauper is before the Court of Appeals10th Circuit (83-1865 Hinton v. Missouri Pacific Railroad.)"
Since the grievance was not "handled in the usual manner" as required under
Section 3, First (i) of the Railway Labor Act, the Board concludes that the grievance
is dismissed without any consideration to be given to the merits. Even if there
was an employment relationship between Mr. Hinton and the Carrier (which has not
existed for fourteen (14) years) the grievance was not properly handled in
accordance with Rule 35 of the Agreement between the Carrier and System Federation
No. 105, Railway Employees' Department, AFL, Mechanical Section No. 1. Furthermore,
the grievance is vague, indefinite and uncertain and thus it is impossible to
determine with certainty the essential facts constituting the grievance so that the
Carrier can adequately respond to it.
