ANNUAL MEETING OF PUBLISHERS

The second annual meeting of the
Del Mar-Via Press Association was held
at Hotel du Pont on Thursday. The
Association is composed of newspaper
publishers of Delaware, Maryland and
the Eastern Shore of Virginia, and is in
tlourishing condition.
President Dunn appointed a special
legislative committee to take up the
matter of an equitable libel law in this
State, the present law having long ago
become antiquated as compared with
laws of this kind in various other States.
The secretary read the Minnesota law,
which seemed to meet with the approval
and James c. Wickes of the Delaware
State News, Dover, with Mr.. Dunn an
ex-officio member, will Immediately
take up the matter with a view to hav-
ing proper libel law bill introduced at
this present session of the legislature.
President Dunn called attention to the
pennsylvania State law regarding ad-
vertising of illegitmate goods, etc, and
it was decided that we were in urgent
need of something of this nature in
Delaware. The Pennsylvania law is
to prohibit the making or dissemina-
ton of false or misleading statements
or assertions concerning any merchan-
disc securities or services, and provides
penalties for violation hereof. The
special legislative committee was in
structed to prepare bill along this line
to he presented for introduction at the
present session of the Legislature.
This law Is in line with the aim of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of America
to enforce Truth in Advertising, " and
N their approval of it the Press Asso-
,iatiOn has taken a decided step for
ward in cause that vitally affects a !
very large percentage of retail adver. |
isers everywhere and is of correspond |
ng interest and Importance to news |
