On November 28 and December 22, 1941, the United States attorney for 
the Western District of Pennsylvania filed libels against a total of 704 pints 
of oysters at Altoona, Pa., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about November 24 and December 15, 1941, by the Union 
Fish Co. from Baltimore, Md.; and charging that it was adulterated in that 
water had been substituted in part therefor, and in that water had been added 
thereto or mixed or packed therewith so as to increase its bulk or weight and 
reduce its quality.
