 DISPUTE: and
 Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
 STATEMENT Trackman C. E. Faraker was dismissed unjustly and
 CLIM: should be restored to service in accordance with
 Rule 48(e).
 FINDINGS: Claimant was dismissed on the basis of Carrier's
 findings that he had filled the tank of his own
 car with some 15-20 gallons of gasoline that he had
 taken without permission from one of Carrier's stor
 age tanks. There is substantial evidence in the
 record that supports these findings; the evidence
 also indicates that claimant had taken gas for his
 own use from the storage tank on prior occasions.
 Claimant admitted taking the gasoline without per-
 mission for his own use. He testified that he had used his own
 automobile at times during working hours to assist Carrier in
 hauling men and material and., on the Saturday in question, to in
 spect tracks for vandalism reported by a friend called "Cherokee"
 who claimant happened to meet.
 PLB - 2778 Award No. 23

 In this setting, no valid ground is perceived for setting aside Carrier's findings of fact or reversing its decision to dismiss claimant.

 AWARD: Claim denied.
