Between August 14 and August 28, 1939, the United States attorney for the 
Southern District of New York filed libels against 243 crates of blueberries at 
New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
within the period from about August 10 to about August 24, 1939, in various lots 
and by various shippers as follows: J. A. Kaneski, Blaudford, Mass.; Gus 
Kukenbaker, Long Pond, Pa.; J. Fatula, Pottsville, Pa.; W. A. Hill, Machias, 
Maine; John Shimko, Tobyhanna, Pa.; E. Shimko, Tobyhanna, Pa.; Kostick Bros., 
Beaver Meadows, Pa.; S. Grossinger, Dushore, Pa.; Francis Estlow, Chatsworth, 
N. J.; Mrs. A. Puluka, Tobyhanna, Pa.; Joe Festa, Carbondale, Pa.; Arthur 
Laurilla, Waldoboro, Maine.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance.
On August 30 and September 8 and 11, 1939, no claimants having appeared, 
judgments of condemnation were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
