On May 12, 1922, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the District Court of the United States for said district an information against 
the Iron City Produce Co., a corporation, trading at Pittsburgh, Pa., alleging 
shipment by said company, in violation of the food and drugs act as amended, 
on or about November 10, 1920, from the State of New York into the State of 
Pennsylvania, of a quantity of apples which were misbranded.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the information for the reason 
that it was food in package form and the quantity of the contents was not 
plainly and conspieaously marked on the outside of the package.
On July 18, 1924, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on behalf 
of the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $10.
HOWARD M.  GOBE, Secretary of Agriculture.
