On March 14, 1925, 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 Year Round Canneries Co., Inc., and the Cook Inlet Packing Co., 
corporations, trading at Seattle, Wash., alleging shipment by said companies,
in violation of the food and drugs act, on or about July 29, 1924, from the 
Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington, of a quantity of canned 
salmon which was adulterated.
Examination by the Bureau of Chemistry of this department of ISO cans of 
the article showed that 54 cans, or 30 per cent, contained decomposed 
salmon.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason 
that it consisted in whole and in part of a filthy and decomposed and putrid 
nnimal substance.
On April 13, 1925, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on behalf 
of the Alaska Year Round Cannery Co., and on October 21, 1925, a plea of 
guilty was entered on behalf of the Cook Inlet Packing Co. A fine of $50 
was imposed against each defendant.
C. F. MARVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
