 DISPUTE: Consolidated Rail Corporation

 STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Appeal of Welder, J. J. Hedrick, to have his discipline of dismissal removed from his record and to be restored to the service.

 FINDINGS: The Claimant was notified to attend an investigation
 on a charge that he purchased items by the use of a Carrier order
 form and then used these items for personal gain. Subsequent to
 the investigation, the Employee was notified that he had been found
 guilty and he was discharged from the service.

 The Board has thoroughly reviewed the record and finds that evidence supports the -Carrier's findings of guilt to the charges. Under the facts of this record, which shows a serious offense has been committed by the Claimant, the Board has no basis to set aside the discipline assessed by the Carrier.

      The claim is denied.
