York Metal Company Is on British Blacklist York, Pa., Aug. 2. Announce-' I ment of the name of the York Metal and Alloy Company appearing on a ■ ■ ■ i ■ CASTORIA For Infants and Children. Bears the The Kind You Hava Always Bought supplementary list of American firms blacklisted by the British Government came as a surprise to officials of the , concern, which manufacturers an al loy for tool making and tungsten. While the company's business has i grown remarkably since the European J war began It has been confined to tha I domestic trade and the alleged blacis | list does not disturb the manufactur- I ers. I George Marlowe, secretary and i treasurer of the company, in com menting on the action of the British government said: "Our company has not been manu facturing munitions of war. Our busi ness is all with companies with which we have dealt for the last 12 years. We furnish material for tool steel to the Bethlehem, Crucible, Cdlonla.l and some other big manufacturers. Maybe some of olir product eventually finds its way Into munitions manufacture, j but if it does we do not know of It, and our connection with such manu ; facture is very indirect." Mr. Mar i lowe and his asociaste, Robert Emer j ton, are natives of England. 5
