v
On October 17, 1924, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, 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 
Alaska Consolidated Canneries, a corporation, Seattle, Wash., alleging ship- 
ment by said company, in violation of the food and drugs act, on or about Sep- 
tember 22, 1922, from the Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington, of 
a quantity of canned salmon which was adulterated. The article was labeled 
in part:  (Can) "Tryet Brand Pink Salmon.''
Examination by the Bureau of Chemistry of this department of two lots from 
the consignment, consisting of 95 cans and 96 cans, respectively, showed 17 cans 
in the first lot and 12 cans in the second lot with evidences of decomposition.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that 
it consisted in part of a filthy and decomposed and putrid animal substance.
On April 6, 1925, a plea of guilty to the information, was entered on behalf of 
the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $50.
R. W. DTJNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
