PROCEEDINGS UNDER THE PACKERS AND STOCKYARDS ACT, MAY, 1931 Docket No. 346.-In re Culler Commission Co., market agency and dealer, Union Stock Yards, Baltimore, Md. On March 24, 1931, the Acting Secretary of Agriculture issued an inquiry and notice, alleging violation of the act in that respondent had failed to comply with the bonding regulation. A hearing was neld on April 23 before an examiner for the department, at wnich no appearance was entered by the respondent. The testimony of a bureau employee developed that the respondent was actually engaged in business from January 14, 1931, to March 24, 1931, inclusive, the period during which no bond was on file. A reasonable bond to suitable trustees was filed with the bureau on May 2. On May 19 a finding was made that the respondent had violated the act by en- gaging in business from January 14, 1931, to March 24, 1931, inclusive, without executing and maintaining a reasonable bond, and it was ordered to cease and desist from doing business as a dealer and market agency without executing and maintaining a reasonable bond to suitable trustees to secure the performance of its obligations as such dealer and market agency and without having on file with the Bureau of Animal Industry a fully executed duplicate of such bond, or some other plan of guaranty satisfactory to the Secretary of Agriculture.

PERMITTED DISINFECTANTS

In accordance with the provisions of B. A. I. Order 309, the bureau has granted permission to Louisville Chemical Co., 108 South Third Avenue, Louisville, Ky., for the distribution and use of Sherwin-Williams 50 per cent cresol solution under the name of "Creal-o" in the general disinfection of cars, yards, and other premises. Creal-o is identical with Sherwin-Williams 50 per cent cresol solution manufactured by The Sherwin-Williams Co., Chicago, Ill.

Change from Manufacturer to Distributor The bureau also granted permission to Connecticut Chemical & Disinfectant Co. of 683 Chapel Street, New Haven, Conn., for the distribution and use of Hexsolis under the name of "Kre-Sol" in the general disinfection of cars, yards, and other premises. Kre-Sol is identical with Hexsolis manufactured by Tar Products Corporation of Providence, R. I. On May 31, 1929, permission was granted to the Connecticut Chemical & Disinfectant Co. to manufacture a saponified cresol solution under its trade name "Kre-Sol" for official use in the general disinfection of cars, yards, and other premises. This company is no longer manufacturing this product, and at its request the above permission is withdrawn, and permission to distribute Hexsolis under its trade name of Kre-Sol is granted in lieu thereof.

PERMITTED ARSENICAL CATTLE DIP The bureau has granted permission for the use of Hex arsenical dip manufactured by American Tar Products Co., of Providence, R. I., in the official dipping of cattle for ticks. The dilution for dipping cattle for interstate movement is 1 gallon of dip to not more than 127 gallons of water. This will yield a solution containing not less than 0.22 per cent actual arsenious oxide.

Distributor of Arsenical Dip Permission has been granted to Koppers Products Co., Industrial Trust Build- ing, Providence, R. I., for the distribution of Hex arsenical dip under the same trade name of "Hex Arsenical Dip" for use in the official dipping of cattle for ticks. This dip is manufactured by American Tar Products Co., of Providence, R. I. The dilution for dipping cattle for interstate movement is 1 gallon of dip to not more than 127 gallons of water. This will yield a solution containing not less than 0.22 per cent actual arsenious oxide.

TRANSFER OF EMPLOYEES

Only in case of a real emergency should an inspector in charge transfer an employee from one official station to another until after the matter has been presented to the Washington office and specific authority for the transfer has been granted. OFFICE QUARTERS IN FEDERAL BUILDINGS When inspectors in charge are approached regarding office quarters in proposed new Federal buildings, additions to Federal buildings, or offices already occupied by the bureau in Federal buildings, in order that the matter may be consistently handled between the Washington and field offices, it should be referred to the Washington office. Several cases recently have come to the attention of the bureau wherein inspectors in charge have been consulted relative to office quarters in Federal buildings and have furnished information direct without taking the matter up with the Washington office. Such a procedure in a number of instances has been very embarrassing to the bureau, as the matter had already received the attention of this office and the information furnished by the field office did not agree with that submitted by the bureau. Recommendations from inspectors in charge in such cases are solicited, but any commitment as to bureau policy or intentions must be left to the Washington office. These instructions apply equally as well to the matter of releasing space that the bureau may be occupying as they do to questions of new or additional space in Federal buildings. 1931] SERVICE AND REGULATORY ANNOUNCEMENTS 53

MENU CARDS SHOWING MEAT PRICES REQUESTED

The bureau desires to obtain information regarding prices that hotels, restau- rants, and dining cars charge for various meat orders. Until further notice employees of the bureau are requested to obtain, whenever feasible, and forward to the Washington office, menu cards which show meat prices. The bureau also requests, in connection with such menus, data concerning the approximate quantity of meat served for the amount charged, together with notations as to the tenderness and palatability of the cuts. Menu cards showing meat prices several years ago are also desired. The collection of such cards and the prepara- tion of comments on then should not, however, be allowed to interfere with regular bureau work, nor affect the cost of subsistence. This class of correspond- ence should be addressed to the chief of bureau, attention of the editorial office.
