This product was short weight.
On May 11, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of Wash- 
ington filed libels against 20 cases of chicken tamales at Walla Walla, Wash., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
September 27, 1939, and March 6,1940, by Stidd's, Inc., from Portland, Oreg.; and 
charging that it was misbranded in that the statement, "Net contents 10 oz. 
avoir.," was false and misleading since it was incorrect, and in that it was in 
package form and did not bear an accurate statement of the quantity of the 
contents. It was labeled in part: "Stidd's Chicken in the Husk Boneless Tamales, 
Net contents 10 oz. avoir."
On June 29, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemnation 
were entered and the product was ordered delivered to charitable institutions 
after removal of the labels.
