CHICAGO DON’T LIKE HOOSIER BRAND OF CATSUP.

Chicago, Dec. 19.—A jury in the federal district court today sustained a government libel warrant 'for condemnation of 1,246 cases of i tomato catsup of the Sterling Products Co., of Evansville, Ind. Eight employes and former em- ' ployes testified,; that decayed to- j I mates were usecrin the catsup. One I former employe said it was not -uncommon to see mice leap from the sorting belt. The company maintained that the catsup was unadulterated and was manufactured with reasonable caution as to clean-' liness and that no decayed tomatoes | were used. District Attorney Clyne said the verdict would have a salutary effect ■ on some twenty-five manufacturers j of food products who were holding their goods from interstate ship- ' ment pending the result of this suit.
