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 Thomas was afforded a fair and impartial hearing.

There is substantial evidence on the record that Claimant was guilty of the charges preferred.

Due to the seriousness of the offenses, and finding no mitigation on the record before it, the Board finds that Carrier's decision to assess a disciplinary suspension was not unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious and will be upheld.


Award: Claim denied.
