17523. Action to enjoin and restrain the interstate shipment of adulterated
cheese and cheese products.   U. S. v. Arthur A. Mohr (Volney Cheese 
Factory).   Injunction granted.    (In. No. 133.)
COMPLAINT FILED : January 4, 1946, Northern District of Iowa, against Arthur 
A. Mohr, trading as the Volney Cheese Factory, Volney, Iowa.
NATURE OF CHARGE : That the defendant, from on or about June 22,1944, to the 
time of filing the complaint, had been shipping in interstate commerce from 
Foley, Iowa, cheese and cheese products which were adulterated within the 
meaning of Section 402 (a) (3), in that the products consisted in whole or in 
part of filthy substances; and, Section 402 (a) (4), in that the products had 
been prepared, packed, and held under insanitary conditions.
The complaint alleged further that the defendant had been warned to 
remedy the existing defects and his method of preparing and processing milk, 
cheese, and cheese products; and, in addition, that he had been warned not 
to ship these products so adulterated in interstate commerce, but that the 
warnings had been ignored and that the defendant would continue to ship 
adulterated cheese and cheese products unless enjoined from so doing.
The complaint prayed that a preliminary injunction be granted pending the 
hearing for a permanent injunction and that, upon hearing, the preliminary 
injunction be made permanent.
DISPOSITION : On February 8, 1946, the action having come one or hearing, the 
defendant was adjudged in default for failure to file any pleading whatsoever. 
Thereupon the court issued an order which enjoined and restrained the de- 
fendant for a period of 6 months from shipping, causing to be shipped, or 
introducing for shipment, in interstate commerce, cheese or any other milk 
products made, processed, or manufactured by the defendant at his cheese 
factory and plant at Olney, Iowa.
