 versus
 MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILROAD MANY
 STATEMENT
 OE' CLAIM: 1. Carrier violated agreement on March 16, 7981,
 wPien Trackman R. N. Holland, Central Division,
 was dismissed for insubordination to Track Fore
 man H. D. Seaton while working as trackman on
 Gang 5176 near Hanson, Oklahcma, at about 11:30 A.M.,
 March 4, 1981.

FMMTNGS: Evil was adduced at the investigation to
 support the charge against the claimant and con
 sidering his short service, dismissal was not
 excessive. The employes attest to minimize the
 incident but it is apparent that it developed
 because of claimant's tendency to argue with his
 ' foreman, so to has only himself to blame regard
 less of the minimal nature of the circumstances
 out of which his insubordination developed.
 ACRD: Claim denied.
