AN ILLEGAL TRUST
Gulf Compress Company Given Ome
Year to Wind Up Its Business ana
Withdraw From Mississippi.

Vicksburg, Miss, Sept. 21.-Cnan-
cellor Hicks today declared the GILL
Compress Company an illegal trust
and gave the corporation one year 10
wind up it's business in the state, ana
withdraw. He denied the application
for receiver.
This decision is victory for Dis
tict Attorney James D. Thames, who
less than two weeks ago filed suit
against the Gulf Compress Company
asking that a receiver be appointed
to take charge of the asairs Of the
company and that it be declared an
illegal combination in restraint OF
trade. The Gulf Compress Company
owns or controls thirty one COM
presses in the south, sixteen of which
are located in mississippi. The suit
was brought by District Attorney
Thames directly as the result OF the
purchase OF an independent COM
press at Vicksburg by the Gulf Com
press Company. 1t was alleged by the
state that this compress was pur-
chased in violation of the Mississippi
antitrust law, which prohibits one
corporation from purchasing the in
terests of a competitive corporation.
For defense, the Gulf Compress Com
pany set up that the Virksburg lnde-
pendent plant was purchased from an
individual, to whom it was sold a
short time ago by the old corporation.
Back of the proceedings are numer-
Gus complaints from cotton men Of
Vicksburg and other sections Of the
state over the alleged discrimination
of the Gulf Compress Company in
handling cotton.
When the District Attorney filed
his suits here a temporary order was
issued by the chancellor restraining
the operation of all the plants owned
by the company in the state.
Immediately following the decision
an agreement was entered into bet
ween the plaintiff and defendant
whereby the defendants property at
Vicksburg is to be operated by a
committee of three persons to be ap.
pointed by the Vicksburg Cotton Ex
change.
