 CLAIM: pension from June 28 to~July 19, 1982 be set
 aside and removed from his record and that he be
 compensated for all lost time. °
 FINDINGS: - Claimant's 15-day suspension was based on Car
 rier's findings, after a hearing had been held
 in the matter, that claimant had not'complied

 Carrier's findings are supported by Roadmaster
 Jones' testimony. He testified that he had instructed claimant to
 remove tie butts from the approaches to several bridges, near Ever

 the tie butts and operations were delayed. Claimant was serving
 as an extra gang foreman at the time under Mr. Jones' supervision.
 Mr. Jones' testimony was corroborated in essential
 respects by the testimony of Track Repairman Killan. While con-
