PARTIES Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes
 _TO
 DISPUTE: and
 The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company
 STATEMENT 1. Carrier acted arbitrarily and without regard
 OF
 CIA DI: to mitigating circumstances in assessing discipline
 of l0. days suspension to.claimant Harold I. Waltz~rs.
 2. Claimant Harold I. Walters be compensated for
 all monetary losses suffered on account of the ex
 cessive And unjustified discipline and that his
 record be cleared of any account relative to this
 incident.
 FINDINGS: Claimant was assessed a ten-day suspension for using.
 profane and vulgar language to Supervisor Petty.
 The evidence clearly supports Carrier's findings
 that claimant directed such language at Mr. Petty
 while Mr. Petty was talking to him about o. corplainr
 from Foreman Garland regsrdin=; clainant's cond,ict.


while at work on the ptevious day: In -the course of the conversation with Mr. Petty, claimant used the same obscene language in referring to Foreman Garland.
 Contrary to Petitioner's contention, we find no provocation or statement on the Supervisor's part that was reasonably responsible for claimant's use of intemperate language. Members of Carrier's supervisory staff should not have to put up with such misconduct and the ten-day suspension in dispute is plainly warranted.
 The notice of charges was reasonably clear and no procedural defect is disclosed by the record.
