The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-03-06

On yesterday the evening News ADMITTED that the Sunday edition of that paper COULD NOT PRINT the report of the Associated Press although the News had published in it's Sunday edition that Full 24- hour leased wire service of the Associated Press leased wire service of the International News and Consolidated Press in the News daily.
 The AgeHerald compelled however unwlingy, to bring such publication to the attention of the reading public, for The Age-Herad is the ONLY Birmingham member of the Associated Press for Sunday morning publication and therefore is the ONLY SUNDAY NEWS PAPER published in Birmingham ENTITLED to PRINT Associated Press news, without which Sunday news paper can be complete in it's entirety and impression to the contrary that sought to be conveyed could only be construed effort to deprive The Age Herald of it's EXCLUSIVE membership in the greatest gathering organization in the world.
 The News sought to explain the matter away by saying that Sunday not daily and that furthermore in printing such statement in their Sunday edition There need for The Age-Herald to engage in troversy with the News to whether Sunday is day of the week or day not included in the calendar
 The News says that the Full 24-hour leased wire service of the Associated Press applies only the days of the week, except Sunday But that statement is also very misleading, for it is written convey the thought to the reader that the News print any time within the 24hour day. the report of the Assocat- ed Press.
 The impression thus sought to be conveyed needs also to be corrected by The AgeHerad in simple justice and equity Every member of the Associated Press is des- lgnated as either morning or evening member The morning member is entitled to receive the report of the Associated Press only between the hours of D. m and m The evening paper entitled to receive the report only between the hours of 5 a. m and 3 D. m The evening News cannot print the report of the Asso- cated Press that reaches Birmingham over leased wires between D. m. and 5 a. nl until AFTER such news has FIRST had opportunity to be printed in The Age Herald
 The evening News unethcaly conveys the impress sion that it print the Associated news report at time during the 24 hours for the the News prints edition late in the afternoon but DATES IT the following day. in other words dating the paper not of the day printed but day AHEAD of the time 1t is printed This circulation well understood Tn publishing circles It is done to lead reader to believe he is reading morning paper published that day, when in reality he is reading evening paper printed the day before. If the News mslead the readers of this dated-a-d -aheao-edon in thinking such datedahead edition is publishing late Associated Press news the News gains thereby reader confidence to which it is not entitled
 The AgeHerald is prompted to further let the situa- tion be enlightened for the the evening News, not being content to publish good newspaper and fill it's place in the Birmingham newspaper field seeks by such methods to detract from the legitimate rights will not permit the News to do without adequate pre- sentation of the facts for public information frankly and unhesitatngly conveyed.
