                                        ~o. 3S8'


Board is duly constituted by Agreement dated January 5, 1959, that it has jurisdiction of the parties and the subject matter, and that the parties were given due notice of the hearing held.

A review of the record in this case reveals that Claimant Blanson was afforded a fair and,impartial hearing; however, the Board does not find compelling evidence on the record that Claimant was any more culpable than Carman McDonald for the mishap which occurred on May 20, 1981.

In light of all the circumstances obtaining, the Board finds that the deferred suspension assessed Claimant should be reduced to a Letter of Reprimand.


      Award: Claire sustained, in part, as per findings..

              Order: Carrier is directed to make this Award effective within thirty (30) days of date of issuance.
