 STATEMENT
 OF CLAIM "Claim for reinstatement of former Trackman
 J. W. Krack, Middle Division, and that 'he be
 compensated for all wage loss and/or otherwise
 made whole', account the claimant's name being
 improperly removed from the seniority roster
 for failure to respond to recall."
 FINDINGS Upon the whole record, the Board finds that the
 parties herein are Carrier and Employes within the meaning of the
 Railway Labor Act, as amended, and that this Board is duly consti
 tuted under Public Law 89-456 and has jurisdiction of the parties
 and the subject matter.
 Claimant, who vas an off-in-force-reduction employe, was recalled to service under the provisions of Rule 2, Section (c). The employs failed to report as directed and his name was removed from the seniority roster.
      The pertinent part of Rule 2. Section (c) reads as follows:


          "xxxx failure to report on the date indicated in the notification of recall, not to exceed fifteen (15) calendar days from date of notification of'recall forwarded to the employe's last )mown address, without a satisfactory reason, will result in forfeiture of seniority in the class where recalled."

The Organisation contends that Claimant was discharged without the benefit of a formal investigation in violation of Rule 13DISCIPLINE.
                                      Award No. 17 - 3305 Page Not 2


We have reviewed this record in detail and can find no probative evidence to show Claimant complied with the mandatory provisions of Rule 2, Section (c). The soardls conclusion that the rule is self-executing and provides for an automatic loss of seniority is consistent with numerous awards of various Divisions of the National Railroad Adjustment Board.
 This type of self-executing rule is not within the contemplation of Rule 13, therefore, the Agreement was not violated.

 AWARD Claim denied.
