No fireman shall be suspended or discharged upon any charge whatever without first having a fair and impartial hearing, and his guilt shall be established, with the exception of aggravated cases, such as serious collisions or intoxication. There shall be a board of inquiry, composed of the Division Superintendent, Division Master Mechanic and one disinterested fireman from the division on which complaint may arise, whose duty it shall be to investigate all charges of misconduct on the part of the firemen. The right of appeal from local to general officers, as also the right of firemen to act as a committee on conference, will be duly recognized, and leave of absence from duty will be granted for that purpose. If any witness remains present at any investigation or any part of any investigation, any other witness or witnesses desiring it, may also remain present at such investigation; but no person or persons, other than members of the board of inquiry, shall be permitted to interrogate any witness, or otherwise take part in the investigation, or in the determination of the matter which is the subject of such investigation, and no person or persons shall be allowed to be present at any investigation other than the members of the said board of inquiry named in the second clause of this article, and actual witnesses.

Firemen entering the service of the Company shall be hired by the Superintendent of Machinery, or his assistants, and shall be able to read and write the English language. Fifty percent, of the firemen hired shall be experienced men.
