(Brotherhood of Railway, Airline and Steamship Clerks, ( Freight Handlers, Express and Station Employes PARTIES TO DISPUTE: (Seaboard Coast Line Railroad Company

(A) The Carrier violated the agreement on or about February 4, 1972 when it dismissed Ralph Dingle from the service.

 (B) The Carrier shall now reinstate claimant to the service and compensate him for all wage loss less any compensation earned in other employment.

 OPINION OF BOARD: Claimant was dismissed from Carrier's Service for in
 subordination. The record demonstrates that on the day in
 question, Claimant repeatedly refused to check a certain interchange, as in
 structed, but rather, he persisted in stating his intention to check a dif
 ferent interchange.

 The Board has carefully reviewed the entire record, including the transcript of investigation compiled on February 1 and 2, 1972, and finds no violation of Claimant's procedural rights.

 The record shows that on November 17, 1972 the Organization's General Chairman and Carrier's Terminal Superintendent reached an understanding, under the terms of which the Claimant was to be reinstated on a leniency basis. However, it appears that Claimant determined that the leniency settlement was unsatisfactory and ultimately rejected same. Thereafter, the Superintendent advised the General Chairman that the reinstatement offer was null and void.

 A study of the transcript of the two (2) day investigation convinces the Board that the Carrier clea In short, Claimant failed to comply with his Supervisor's valid instructions as to work to be performed.

 Moreover, we are unable to discover anything of record to suggest that the discipline of dismissal from service was arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable in this case. The claim will be denied.

          That the parties waived oral hearing;


That the Carrier and the Employes involved in this dispute are respectively Carrier and Employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act, as approved June 21, 1934;
