Mr. Noyes' address dealt with the history of the great effort to establish | a 1 ion-wide co-operative news-gath ering or nization operating without profit, its early struggles, its ultimate triumph and the ideals and principles | that dominate it today. 1 Beginn with the first attempts | in 1850, speaker traced the his tory of co-operative news-gathering down to 1893, when the final break | held at the Waldorf-Astoria over by Mr. Noyes. Henry former Governor of Kansas, Noves were the principal Nembers the Amer to attend | United | and | nd the old organization, then called the Press, which was proprie commercial in character, Western Associated Press, which was mutual and not profitmaking, and which that year was reorganized un- der the present name of the Asso- ciated Press, with Melville E. Stone as general manager. Desperate Struggle Then. In speaking of the desperate strug- gle that followed between the two or- ganizations, Mr. s said: “The issue was th all the news- papers of the United States be at the mercy of a privately owned news col- lecting and distributing organization— at its mercy not only as concerns a money tribute but, of much more im- portance, at its mercy as to the news received—whether it should be honest or perverted, impartial or biased; whether it should be influenced by the | interests and the opinions of its own- nd the press of the United States and the people of the United States be subject to the unrestrained will of individuals, or an individual, so far as press association news was con- cerned.” This was a thrilling battle cry, Mr. Noyes, and shortly after the newspaper ‘world resounded with it. The Associated Press took the ag- gressive and enlarged its field, invit- ing newspapers from the whole United States to join in the effort to ablish the mutual organization. o not understand that this creed obtained instant acceptance,” said Mr. Noyes. “Indeed, even today there is distinct dissent both in_principle and practice, and within a few years the head of what is generally re- arded as the leading privately owned news distributing organization, in a considered public address, said: ‘Gen- erally speaking, the point of view of the reporters is only the point of view of the paper.’ Elaborating this, the speaker dwelt on the inevitability and desirability of a reporter writing of the day’s happenings with a ‘point of view,' instancing that one new: paper with capitalistic leanings and another in sympathy with the rank and file must, 4nd should, represent these sympathies in their news treat- ment of events. This speaker went on to say: ‘And how does this apply to the press association business? Just as any other strictly newspaper proposition applies to the press asso- ciation business—the same—only more so0.’” Mr. Noyes here interjected that the Associated Press is founded on a totally different doctrine. Fortunately, he said, no reporter of the Associated Press can write to suit the point of view of that organization, “for it has no point of view of its own and no intelligence could define a composite point of view of its members.” Activities of Stone. In considerable detail Mr. Noyes described the activities of Mr. Stone in building up an independent service of world-wide news, including the making of contracts with the leading world agencies. He described also methods of financing the new organ- ization through a guaranty fund and an assessment plan. Next the fight was carried to the East and Mr. Noyes told of the crusading done by his assoclates and himself at a time when there w. great intensity of feeling in new paperdom. Victor F. Lawson of Chicago and Mr. Stone devoted all of their time to making new converts to the cause of co-operative news gathering, working, said Mr, Noyes, as they never would have worked for any private interest of their own. ontinuing, Mr. Noyes sal ch new col in turn a crusader himself and it wz no uncommon occurrence for 12 or | busy newspaper men to la work to try mass persuasion on some | other newspaper man not yet decided | in_our favor.

It is unthinkable and would call down on the general manager the riotous condemnation of every member of the Associated Press. And yet it was just such an unrestrained control that faced the newspapers in 1893, menacing us all and bidding us be on our guard through all time.” After referring to the spread of the co-operative idea to Canada, Great Britain, Australia, v Zealand and where organizations exist, the speaker continue And how has the Associated Press succeeded as to gaining new members and retaining old ones? nderstanding that measure our progress by growth in number of members, I may say that the membership in 1893 approxi- mately 300 and this has grown so that the present organization started in 1900 with something over 600 and the we do mnot Reputation The Shade Shop's reputation is established.
