Companies Charged For Impure Salmon
Criminal complaints, charging violations of the pure food and drug act in that they shipped "putrid and decomposed" salmon from Alaska in 1930, were filed today in Federal Court by Cameron Sherwood, assistant United States attorney, against Henry J. Emard, operating as Emard Packing Company, and Ingolfer Iwessen, as the Iwessen Packing Company. The complaint charges that in the season of 1930, salmon packed and shipped by these companies were condemned; that the packers failed to appear at the hearings set by the Bureau of Pure Food and Drugs to show cause why they should not be charged with criminal violation of the Federal statutes.
