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.

Parties to said dispute waived right of appearance at hearing thereon.

The basis of the Claim was well understood by the parties on the property with no dispute over A

This Board does not agree with the Carrier's contention. We find before us signed letters from Claimant's wife that no calls were received; from the Claimant that he was not called after he returned home, from the other assigned machine operator stating he was not called at all, and from the junior employee that he worked the derailment "all night." Only an unsigned letter which the Carrier states was written by the Roadmaster exists as refutation. We do not accept actual time worked by the junior employee, or by any evidence that is beyond doubt a statement of the Roadmaster.
