GISAL TRUST HITS BINDER TWINE TRADE
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. The department of justice today faces the unusual situation of having abundant evidence of the existence of a new trust and yet being in doubt as to its ability to prosecute the combination under the Sherman anti-trust law. The new combination is the sisal trust. Sisal is the vegetable fibre used to make twine for agricultural uses such as reaping and binding. Sisal is grown almost exclusively in Yucatan, Mexico. The trust, which admits that it has cornered the supply, is a Spanish Mexican organization. Unable to finance its corner, it has enlisted the support of a syndicate of American banks, chiefly New York and New Orleans institutions, according to the evidence before the department of justice.
