Sample no.  73387-A.)
Sample packages of butter delivered for shipment in interstate commerce 
were found to contain less than 1 pound, the weight declared on the label
On June 13, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of three cases of 
butter at Seattle, Wash., which had been delivered to the transportation com- 
pany, on or about June 11, 1934, by Swift & Co., for shipment in interstate 
commerce, to Alaska, alleging that the article was misbranded in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act The article was labeled in part: " Swift's Premium 
Quality Brookfleld Butter 1 Lb. Net Wt."
The libel alleged that the article was misbranded in that the statement 
" 1 Lb. Net Wt", borne on the label, was false and misleading.
On September 22, 1934, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion and forfeiture was entered, and destruction of the product was ordered.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
