Associated Pass.
OFFICE OF The EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
NEW York, Sept. %, 1892.
To the Editor Of the No ming Neirs:
DEAR Slain consequence of false and mis-
leading reports which are b-ing promulgated
TO injure the Associated Press. It has become
necessary TO make the following statement:
The Associated Press is an organization for
the collection and dissemination OF news
Its object is not to make money,
but through cooperation to obtain
the best news service nossfbla FOR
its members and clients 1t is not a stock com
pany. Each Of the six New York dailies which
constitute its board pays from $4,000 To S25 600
year for the news il receives. These papers
hold themselves re -ponsioe for al the debts of
the assoc alton and give their time o its man
egement gratuitously. Their object has never
been and is not now desire to make money.
The Associated Press is willing and proposes to
spend every dollar received in news gathering
Owing 10 complications which have existed
until recently the service has been allowed to
Dec me inferior TO its standard, especially IN
New York city. To correct this lie Try W.
Odipn, a journalist OF reputation and adj ity
has been appointed as eastern manager and
aided by a staff Of trained assistants, will de-
vote his time to STRENGTHENING the service of the
Associated Press all along the line This is
a new office. and independent of the
general manager or the eastern and western
oSopSldbtOuss III OTutT 10 IaClllfaLS TINS WORK
and TO give the patrons of the Associated Press
a service superior TO that ever gwen by a news
association before, the Herald, tho World, the
Times, the Tribune, and the JOu nal of Co
nierce have put their proofs at the service of the
Associated Press, whereby the outside
papers will be enabled to get
tie advantage of service costing
many thousands of dollars wear
in addition to the news obtained by the Asso-
ciated Press from its regular correspondents.
Heretofore the Associated Press has us ID only
the proofs of the Tribune Moreover the
proofs OF the Mail and ErDreSs, EUeninQ Word
and Ie e0Tdm will be sent to the associated
Office to improve the afternoon service. TIE
Associated Press is stronger to day than it ever
was, and means to protect its iterests and
those OF its clients. 1t has the earnest support
OF all the papers making up it's board, in
spite of the stories circulated to the
contrary, and the efforts OF its
enemies to do It injury by instrumentation
1t neither has nor expects to have litigations or
disputes on its hands. It hopes to maze
amicable arrangements with such of its tribu-
tary associations, whose contracts expire at the
end of the year, but in any instance it assures
its clients and franchise holders that 1t has
begun an aggressive campaign in news
competition, and will protect them under all
conditions ana at any expense. The Associated
Press has prestige never equaled by any news
association and that reputation will be main
tanned. Yours very truly.

Chairman Executive Committee New York
