On April 28,1941, the United States attorney for the Western District of Wash- 
ington filed a libel against 457 cases each containing 48 1-pound cans, and 16 
cases each containing 48 %-pound cans, of salmon at Seattle, Wash., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 31, 
1941, by the Alaska Packers Association from Alameda, Calif.; and charging that 
it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a decomposed sub- 
stance.    The cases were labeled in part: "Red Slack" or "Red Slacks Halves."
On July 8,1941, Morris Muskatell, Seattle, Wash., having appeared as claimant, 
judgment of condemnation was entered and it was ordered that the product be 
released under bond conditioned that it be brought into compliance with the law 
under the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration.
