! Washington Publishers may send
tcopies of theirpaper free to employees
now in the service of the United States,
Plat papers must not be sent to other m
dividuals in camps or abroad unless the
Subscription has been paid by someone.
Publishers must also discontinue the
practice of exchanging papers with each
other and must have bona-fde sub
scription for every paper sent to another
publisher. I
These are among the explanations
made by Thomas E Donnelley, chief of
the pulp and paper section of the war
industries board, of the recent paper
saving order. Mr. Donnelley in an inter-
view with representative of The Pub
fishers Auxiliary declared that it is the
intention to enforce the ruliug very
strictly, but in order to clarity some OF
the paragraphs and not to work any hard
ships on anyone few explanations and
some exceptions and notifications have
been necessary.
ORDER OF BOARD.
The order of July 5, which went into
effect July Is, 1913, is as follows:
Discontinue the acceptance of the re-
turn of unsold copies.
Discontinue the use of all samples or
fraa rropotiOn comics
Discontinue giving copies to anybody
except for office working copies or where
required by statute, like in official adver+
tising.
Discontinue giving free copies to ad-
vertisers,. except not more than one copy
each tor checking purposes,
Discontinue the arbitrary forcing OF
copies on newsdealers ii. e., compelling
them to buy more copies than they can
legitlmately sell in order to hold GER,
tain territory.
Discontinue the buying back of papers
at either wholesale or retail selling prlce
from dealers or agents, in orderto secure
preferential representation.
Discontinue the, payment of salaries
or, commissions to agents, dealers, or
newsboys for the purpose OF securing
the equivalent of return privileges.
Discontinue all free exchanges.
PAPERS FOR SOLDIERS.
Explaining that order, Chief Donnel-
ley has made rulings in regard to free
copies of papers to soldiers which mod
ifv the above order to this extent:
Publishers can send copies of their pa
per free to their employees who are in
the military service of the United States
Publishers can send free copies to camp
libraries of organizations recognized by
the government, such as the Red Gross,
YMCA and the Knights of Columbus,
but cannot send free copies to individual
soldiers in camps
Explaining the discontinuance OF all
free exchanges, Chief Donnelley says
that he believes that this will work to
the advantage of publishers when they
come to put it in execution, He is not
going to modify that portion of the or
der. Under that order free exchanges
mean when one publisher exchanges his
paper with another publisher. Under
this ruling publishers desiring another
will have to make bona-hde
for it.
