PARTIES) THE ATCHISON, TOPEKA & SANTA FE RAIL14AY COMPANY TO ) DISPUTE) BROTHERHOOD OF MAINTENANCE OF WAY EMPLOYEES

 STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Claim in behalf of former Los Angeles Termina Division Trackman B. B. Johns for reinstatement with seniority, vacation and all other rights unimpaired and with pay for all wage loss beginning March 21, 1979, and continuing forward until he is returned to service.

FINDINGS: This Public Law Board No. 1582 finds that the parties
 Kr re are Carrier and Employee within the meaning of the Railway
 Labor Act, as amended, and that this Board has jurisdiction.

 In this dispute the claimant was notified to attend a formal investigation to determine the facts and place the responsibility, if any, concerning an alleged on-duty personal injury of December 13, 1978 while employed as ,a Trackman on Gang 61 and the possible violation of Rules 2, 14, 16 and 30.

 On March 22, 1979 the claimant was sent a letter advising that as a result of the investigation he was being removed from the service of the Carrier for violation of Rules 14 and 16.

 The evidence indicates that the claimant contended he suffered an on-duty injury December 13, 1978 and did not report the injury until December 15, 1979 when the claimant called the roadmaster and advised him that he would not be at work that day because he had suffered an injury.

 The roadmaster inquired if the claimant had filed a report of the alleged injury, to which the claimant responded that he had not. The claimant was instructed to come to the Los Angeles Terminal Division in Los Angeles to fill out the necessary reports. There is testimony that the claimant responded that he would do so. Nothing further was heard from the claimant until five days later when .Form 1421 was received. The claimant had Eilled out this report at the San Bernardino Office on December 19, 1978.

 The Organization has filed an extensive brief in behalf of the claimant and contends that the conduct in the investigation was prejudiced by the roadmaster having testified first and then staying in the room observing the testimony of fellow employees of the claimant and holding in his hand their statements. The Organization contends the roadmaster took their testimony, wrote it down
