 DISPUTE: Consolidated Rail Corporation

 STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Appeal of Welder Helper D. Howell, to have his dismissal set aside and to be restored to the service.

 FINDING: This dispute arose after the Carrier found the Claimant guilty of the charge of failing to use good judgment and proper procedure in the use of a cutting torch. The Carrier principally relied upon the Claimant's own testimony and that of his Supervisors to reach its decision to dismiss the Claimant.
 We have reviewed the record in its entirety and have found
 ample evidence which indicates that the Claimant did not properly
 perform his duties. Under the circumstances herein, in consideration
 of the damages caused by the Claimant's failure to observe proper
 procedures and with weight given to the Claimant's past disciplinary
 record,- we find the claim to be without merit.
