On March 15, 1920, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district an information against 
Socrates Moscahlades and Stylianos Moscahlades, trading and doing business 
under the name of Moscahlades Bros., at New York, N. Y., alleging shipment by 
the said defendants, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended, on or 
about January.29, 1919, from the State of New York into the State of Delaware, 
of a quantity of an article, labeled in part "Apollo Brand Extra Refined Pure 
Olive Oil Specially Imported and Packed by Moscahlades Bros. N. Y. Guar- 
anteed By Us   Net Contents i Gallon," which was misbranded.
Analyses of samples of the article by the Bureau of; Chemistry of this 
department showed that the cans were short volume.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the information ih that a statement 
regarding the article on the label on the can containing the article, to wit, 
" i Gallon," was false and misleading in that it represented that each can con-
' 
tained i gallon of the article, whereas it contained a less amount; said article 
was further misbranded in that the above labeling was so as to deceive and 
mislead the purchaser into the belief that each can contained i gallon of the 
article, whereas it contained a less amount. The 'article' was further mis- 
branded in that it was food in package form, and the quan'tity of the contents 
was not plainly and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package.
On March 24, 1920, the defendants entered a plea of guilty to the information, 
and the court imposed a fine of .$75.
