No.  14777-r.)
On November 23, 1920, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the District Court of the Unired States for said district an information 
against the Jacob Dold Packing Co., a corporation, Brooklyn, N. Y., alleging 
shipment by said company, in violation of the food and drugs act, on or about 
July 2!), 1918, from the State of New York into the State of New Jersey, of a 
quantity of corned beef which was misbranded. The article was labeled in 
part:   " Domestic Meat Label Est. 42-C U. S. N."
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the information for the reason 
tii.it the statement, to wit, " U. S. N.,'' borne on the boxes containing the 
article, was false and misleading, in that the said statement represented that 
the article had been inspected, and passed as conforming to the standard re- 
quired by the United States Navy, and for the further reason that it was 
labeled so as to deceive and mislead the purchaser into the belief that it had 
been inspected, and passed as conforming to the standard required by the 
United States Navy, when, in truth and in fact, it had not been inspected, 
and had not been passed as conforming to the standard required by the United 
States Navy, and did not conform to the said standard.
On April 28. 1926. n plea of guilty to the information was entered on behalf 
of the defendant company, and the court ordered that sentence be suspended.
It. W. DUXLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
