LANCER WOULD
HAVE HIS BACON
MINUS WRAPPER
Attorney General Insists That
Paper Covering Cannot Be
- , Charged as Pork

Attorney General WilliaMr s.. I.;tnse,
today commenced criminal proceedings
against the packing companies selling
wrapped bacon in this state, to pre-
vent the practice of charging for the
gross weight of the package instead
of excluding from the sale price to the
purchaser the weight of the wrap
pings. The action is based on the
theory that the purchaser in paying O
much Il pound for smoked meats is
entitled to net weight Of meat. exclus-
i've Of the heavy paper. burlap and
twine in which the highest grade of
hal1lS ana bacons are wrapped by the
various packing companies.
The claim is made that the whole
sale meat dealers, by being permitted
to charge the same price for the paper
wrappings that they charge for the
meat which they contain. have been
allowed to make an excessive and
fraudulent profit. The wrappings on
each package of smoked meat runs
from 8 to II ounces in weight; this
paper is worth approximately six
cents per pound and when the pack
age Is sold. the gross weight is the
one on which the charge is made, so
that the consumer pays not only bel
tween forty to sixty cents Il! pound fol-
the meat but also for the PAPER 11f
which the package is wrapped. r
TO illustrate the Importance Of pre-
venting this alleged violation Ct the
pure food law, it is stated that the
Swift Packing Co. was able to make
on transactions Of this character in
the United States on bacon alone for
the year just passed more than $780,
100000.
The charge in the complaint filed is
that In selling this class of commercial
meats the sellers are violating the
pure food law in that the true net
weight of the contents of the package
is not placed upon The outside of the
wrapper. The Swift's Premium Bacon
has been selected as the particular
kind of meat on which the test is to
be made The date on which the pre-
liminary hearing is to be held in the
City of Bismarck has been set for
Tuesday, May 20. The outcome of
the lawsuit affects all of the packing
