Atlanta, Ga, Nov. ga meeting of
the stockholders Of the Southern Asso-
ciated Press was held here to-day. It
drew the largest attendance Of members
since the organization of the association.
The question of a ratification of the
memorandum Of agreement between the
United Press and the executive commit
tee of the Southern Associated Press
made i'm New York on Monday. Nov. %
was fully considered, and after consider
able discussion was adopted with only
single dissenting vote
The members very freely discussed the
false statement made by the Associated
Press of Chicago as printed in the Wash
ingtOn Evening Star of the differences
between that association and the South
ern Associated Press, and very great in
dignation was expressed at the gross mis-
representations made in that report. A
committee of five was appointed to draft
a reply to the statement of the Associated
Press, which will be prepared at once and
given to the public.
The association adjourned until tO-mOr-
row morning, when it will reconvene for
the purpose of formulating a plan for con-
Quoting an aggressive fight and extend
ing the service of the Southern Associated
Press into the new territory conveyed to
it under the new contract with the United
Press, covering the states of Tennessee,
Kentucky. Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisi-
ana and Texas. A fun midday and night
service will be offered to the newspapers
in the states added by the contract to
the territory of the Southern Associated
Press. The southern organization is now
in position to furnish its clients and mem
bers with an efficient service covering the
United States and foreign countries by
reason of it's exclusive arrangements and
contract relations with the United Press.
All of the papers in the south are deter
mined to maintain the integrity of their
association, every member having re-
newed his allegiance to the Southern As
ISOLATED Press.
This alliance with the United Press adds
upward Of forty newspapers to the list of
papers served by the last named organ
ization and deprives the Chicago organi-
cation of that number of southern papers.
