OPINION OF BOARD: Pursuant to notice and investigation properly
 held the Claimant was dismissed from the service
 of the Carrier for violating Rule 801 of the General Rules and
 Regulations which states that employes who are insubordinate/quarrel
 some or otherwise vicious will not be retained in the service of the
 Carrier.

 The Claimant first alleged that the notice of the charge was not sufficiently precise so as to be in accord with Rule 47. T-?e have reviewed the notice letter from R. E. Hamilton dated September 13, 1976 and find it to be sufficient. The notice was sufficiently precise so as to allow Claimant an opportunity to prepare a defense.

 An examination of the transcript of the investigation reveals that sufficient evidence of probative value was present to support the charge. The conduct of the Claimant was indeed quarrelsome and insubordinate. Moreover her remark th in and of itself support the dismissal.
