WEDNESDAY EVENING,
the Pennsylvania railroad complaints,
which were decided against the com
pany. The railroad brotherhoods,
which brought the actions, will not
appeal in the cases they lost accord
ing to what has been learned here.
Wheat Pests Active. Pennsylva
nia's banner wheat crop, which is now
being reported, is suffering already
from the Hessian fly and the rust.
These are the two greatest enemies
which the wheat has had to meet in
the last half dozen years and while the
damage has been cut down by adher
ing to scientific methods there is still a
heavy annual loss. The rust seems to
be worse in Washington and western
counties and the Hessian fly has been
spotted in Berks and York. On the
whole the wheat crop has been big
and oats is making a big improve
ment.
Pollution Work Expands. Ward
ens of the State Department of Fish
eries to-day undertook inspection of
explosive plants along the West
Branch of the Susquehanna and its
tributaries and will also go into the
Allegheny watershed to know why
filters for industrial waters, deleterious
to the fish, have not been installed as
promised. The inspectors are work
ing to-day on the Sinnemahoning,
Red Bank, Oowanesque, Pine, Drift
wood and other creeks in the west
central section. As rapidly as infor
mation regarding pollution is obtained
and especially in cases where previous
notice had been given to install filters,
the facts will be certified to the At
torney General's Department for
, prosecution. In the last month the
• names of eight companies have been
, certified as violators of the law for
. bidding pollution of streams. Prob
■ ably a dozen more names will go to
the Attorney General's office within
. the next forty-eight hours and be fol
■ lowed by others as fast as reports

which to install filters has expired ana

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.
