Plea of guilty. Fine, $100 and costs. (F. & D. No. 27565. I. S. No. 
22327.)
This action was based on a shipment of canned salmon, samples of which 
were found to be putrid, tainted, and stale.
On April 18, 1932, 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 the district aforesaid an information 
against the Hood Bay Canning Co., a corporation, Seattle, Wash., alleging 
shipment by said company, on or about August 27, 1930, in violation of the 
food and drugs act from Hood Bay, Territory of Alaska, into the State of 
Washington, of a quantity of canned salmon that was adulterated.
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that it 
consisted in part of a decomposed animal substance.
On April 29, 1932, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on behalf 
of the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $100 and costs.
HBITOY A. WALLACE, Secretary of Agriculture.
