compliance with the second reque. to
expose the false statements sent out nv
the Chicago organization is Impossible
Wlthm the limits of reasonable space
numerous untruthful statements have
been circulated by that organization that
United Press newspapers has suspended
or had been sold out, and one or two.
heaVy libel suits are impending over the
organization because Of these deliberate
falslncations. The loss to it's service of
nearly the entire south was claimed bvl
this organization as being "a disruption OF
the Southern Associated Press, and the
absorption of the cream of the news bust
ness in the cotton states"
10 this a western newspaper promptly
replied: This statement is absolutely
false. The only Southern Associated,
Press papers which have subscribed foi
the Associated Press (western) service arr
the Columbus Register. Petersburg Index
Appeal and Atlanta Journal. The New
orleans papers, two Of them, have been,
taking the western service for a year.
The Southern Associated Press has lost.
but three clients, which were paying from
$25 to $50 per week. excepting the New,
Orleans papers, and has applications fot,
service from many points opened by the
news war"
The fac, Is, that the association was,
never more united Snd determined or on a,
stronger financial footing The Chicago
organization has secured all told only four
or five subscribers in the territory of the
OoutHeIn ASSOCldLeu GreSS-pdpefS which
have been paying rates for service which
have not covered the telegraph tolls paid
by the association for carrying the news
to them. The Chicago people saw fit to
cut even these rates nearly in half In order
to secure patronage, and as a consequence
are now enjoying the luxury
OF leased wire service south
of Mason's and Dixon's line at a great
financial loss. At Richmond alone, the
service which is being rendered to an af-
ternoon paper is costing the Chicago or
ganization at the rate of about $1,000 more
per annum than 1t will receive for the
news. and nearly the same condition of
affairs is said to prevail at the other
three or four points where the western
service is rendered.
