Paris, Fob. 28.

The railroads of France have just notified the Sureta Nationale the Central Police Foren-that they are discharging 72 of their employees.

The police officers whom the allroads are able to dischargo without having to worry about whether the police approve or not, aro the men whose duty it is to pres vent crime on trains, members of the police, but on the payroll of the railways. The arrangement was mado March 1, 1925, by contract between the railroads and the police, for a term of five years, and renewed in 1930. This year the railways are not renewing it.

They explained to the Surete Nationale:

(a) That their depleted budgets require them to make economics;

(b) That they have an idea they

And (e) that the police should furnish police protection in any case to the railways as to everyone else without charge.

The police do not combat this last point. But they bewail the Inet that notice was not given be- fore the Iudget, for the year was up, since now the police depart- ment has not the necessary funds to maintain the special department of Railway Police.

Three French raliroids already maintain their own police systems in addition to that provided by the Surety Nationale-The State, The North, and the Paris-Orleans roads. Others may organise them. The present service costs all the railwaya put together 1,700,000 franca, which is cheap, considering: that the thrie railways that have their own police in addition pay from two to four millions each for that department.
