12992. Misbranding:   of   butter.     V.   S.   v.   55   Pounds   of   Butter.     Default
decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and sale.     (F. & D.  No.  18970. 
I. S. Nos. 18342-v, 18343-v.    S. No. C-4477.)
On or about August 28, 1924, the United States attorney for the Eastern 
District of Tennessee, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel pray- 
ing the seizure and condemnation of 55 pounds of butter, at Chattanooga, Tenn., 
alleging that the article had been shipped by the Andrew Rohan Co., Cin- 
cinnati, Ohio, August 12, 1924, and transported from the State of Ohio into the 
State of Tennessee, and charging misbranding in violation of the food and
drugs act. The article was labeled in part: (Carton) "Red Ribbon One 
Pound Net Creamery Butter * * * Churners And Wholesale Distributors, 
The Andrew Rohan Co., Cincinnati, Ohio."
It was alleged in substance in the libel that the article was misbranded 
in that the packages labeled " One Pound Net" did not each contain 1 pound 
net of butter but contained a less amount.
On November 3, 1924, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be sold by the United States marshal.
W. M. JAKDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
