New Form Redefines Food and Drug Guarantee Rules

US officials replace the old label guarantee with a plan allowing guarantees on invoices or sale papers for interstate or foreign shipments. Labels may still use pre May 6 1914 guaranty legends until May 1 1918 to avoid loss from label destruction. The new wording states that listed articles are not adulterated or misbranded under the Food and Drugs Act.

Painters Trade Group Opposes Connecticut Compensation Rule

The Brotherhood of Painters, Dec orators and Paper Hangers of America protests the Connecticut five‑employee threshold for wage benefits. J M Skemp argues the rule hurts small shops and urges compulsory, broader social insurance with lifelong disability support and survivor benefits. Compensation Commissioner Buckingham notes Fairfield County painters often work with five or more in a shop and that the law counts clerks and drivers among covered employees.

Guaranty Labels Cause Public Misunderstanding

The article explains that issuers filed general guaranties with the Department of Agriculture to show products were not adulterated or misbranded, but the label legends misled consumers into thinking the USDA guaranteed the products. It clarifies that under the Food and Drugs Act a dealer may be protected if a valid guaranty from US-resident wholesalers or manufacturers accompanies the purchased foods and drugs.

Responsibility for food and drug composition guarantees

The provision aims to make manufacturers or wholesalers responsible for compliance with the law. Dealers often lack knowledge of product composition and cannot afford analyses. The guaranty system makes the guarantor legally responsible, relieving the dealer of liability, though the Department of Agriculture was never intended as guarantor.
