On March 31, 1926, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district libels praying seizure and 
condemnation of 1,000 sacks of meat and bone scraps, remaining in the original 
unbroken packages at San Francisco, Calif., alleging that the article had been 
shipped by the Mutual Rendering Co., from Philadelphia, Pa., February 6, 1926, 
and transported from the State of Pennsylvania into the State of California, 
and charging misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act as amended.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libels for the reason that it 
was food in package form and the quantity of the contents was not plainly 
and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package.
On April 15, 1926, the Globe Grain & Milling Co. and the Anderson-Smith & 
Hamilton Co., both of San Francisco, Calif., having appeared as claimants for 
respective portions of the property, and having consented to the entry of 
decrees, judgments of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was 
ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimants upon 
payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of bonds in the 
aggregate sum of $1,107.25, conditioned in part that it be brought into con- 
formity with the law under the supervision of this department.
W. M. JABDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
