NEWS SALE
UPSETS "CHA|N" THEORY
Mr.. Munsey Declares Salaried Man.
agement Fails to Speak Convinc-
ingly Like the Real Owner.

BALTIMORE, August 2s.-Accompa-
nying the announcement today OF the
sale by Frank A. Munsey of his Baltl-
more newspaper, the News, and also
the Munsey building, of this city, 10
Stuart Olivier, who has been general
manager of these properties for about
eight years, Mr. Munsey issued state
ment in which he gave his reasons for
having relinouished his ownership. In
this he states that he bought the News
with A view of making it one of
chain of newspapers to be owned and
operated by one central organization.
At the time he acquired the News he
already was the owner of several news
papers and his plans at that time con-
templated the purchase of others.

Theory Good, Practice Not.

Theoretically the idea looked to be
sound" said Mr.. Munsey in his state
ment.
Great savings seemed certain and in
creased efficiency and usefulness SEEM
ed equally certain. No idea in the wide
world has greater appeal to the imag-
ination than this newspaper chain plan.
No other business or occupation in the
world day in and day out is so dra-
matte as newspaper work. Nothing
gets a man quite so hard. Nothing has
the same grip on him.
But the newspaper chain idea in
the outworking isn't the same thing it
looked to be in analysis, it has fatal
defect which organization and capital
cannot overcome-the defect that is
felt in a newspaper under salar1ed
management as contrasted with the
newspaper under individual ownership
