RATIONALISATION OF RAILWAYS
CREWE WORKS TO BE CLOSED DOWN
{THROUGH REUTER'B' AGENCY.]

LONDON, Aug. 12.
The rationalisation of railways has resulted in a decision by the London Midland and Scottish Rail- way to ecase manufacturing their own steel and to close their Crewo works on September 30, on the ground that it is an uneconomie proposition. At present the com- pany has decided that expenditure to modernise the forge and rolling- mills is unjustified in view of the capacity of existing steel plants in Britain and the national in-
portance of the economie produe
tion of steel.
The decision, however, does not involve the abandonment of Crewe na railway centre.
The displaced staff, numbering between 500 and 600, is receiving retiring gratuity and tree
taining employment elsewhere.
