Active members of the '. NJ. C.

Stcarns was elected president, Morris D. Sake and Thomas Grove were elected vice presidents and Bruce Long was named secretary. The executive committee will con- sist of the officers. the general secretary and l5 members to be appointed. 4 contest will be con- ducted 10 obtain a name for the new building club and prize will i be offered to be presented to the person suggesting the most accept able name. Meetings will be held semi-monthly.
 General Secretary Clarence II. Barnes made the following state mcnt.

 Tt is perfectly true that an ado- quate building would attract about double our present membership. New buildings always do that. and 1t will be splendid to have a much larger membership. But that is not enough-the scope of the future New Britain Y shall be broader than that.
 Even now more people outside of the membership are reached by the Ncsent industrial program than are enrolled as members. That is as it should be. The " is a community enterprise. It should serve the folks in industry with bigger and bigger program, in and out of the bull ding.
 With an adequate building such program could be enlarged. Do you know that the girls and the mons bowling leagues have to roll their games on commercial alleys. and that We have 10 wait until they are available before starting our schedule each year? Do you know that the mems basketball league has tO arrange many practice pc riods in outside gymnasiunls? Do you know that the girls basketball league playing in the '. w. C.

NJ, C. A. gymnasium?
 "So when you talk about new building, don't stress membership too much. We will have that, but much more. Every boy connected with the churches ought to have the privileges of the Y. NJ. C. A. in a way that will bind together the church and the association. Young CT boys than those of ten years should be cared for, Boys that cant afford to pay q membership fee should be taken care of.
 "A new building will do more than provide space for a larger pro- gram. It will also furnish income to finance such a program. A new building could be managed so as to call for less money in current sub scriptions than at present, and at

more than at this time last year, but
still a little more.
While making this steady growth
from year to year, we have also
from time to time lost minor news
papers to privately-owned competi-
tors usually because of some alluring-
ly low price offer for news service,
but these have been inconsequential.
Enormously Significant.
What is really significant, and
enormously significant as / see it, is
that so far as l can remember, in
more than 80 years, never has any
newspaper that you or l would re-
gard as of any Importance whatever
left the Associated Press. save only
those which have been recently
bought, lock- stock and barrel, for the
Scripps-Howard chain, the owners of
which are also the owners of the
United Press and who are not in
sympathy with the cooperative spirit
that requires members of the Asso-
ciated Press to supply their local
news to the other members and to
them alone"
In concluding, Mr.. Noyes said:
'In the work that I have been
privileged by your confidence to do
for it | have found my greatest sat
isfaction and pride and I hope that
in the coming years you of a youger
generation will regard the Associated
Press in as vital an aspect as 1t has
appeared to me-"

our property is now forbidden by in
junction.
a.And now it is for us to consider
whether all this struggle, all this
effort, has been and is worth while.
Were the newspaper men of 1898 justi-
fled in believeing that the thing of
first importance to them and the coun-
try was to guard the purity of their
news supply through cooperative
organization in which members or
every shade of opinion would neces-
sarily be critics and censors and any
partisanship or bias shown in the re-
port sure of stern rebuke? Were they
right in insisting that newspaper men,
members of the organization from
every section of the country, should
be directors, trustees for our common
interests?
Questions Are Asked.
"Have your directors-and in the
passage of years / have served with
over 20 of them-been justified in so
constituting their obligations to you
that to attend the meetings of the
board and the executive committee
consumes from one to two months of
each of their years?
HAS your news report been a fair
and honest one and has it been a
true one when decent allowance is
made for the occasional human error?
And most important of all these
questions, were we right in 1895 and
have we been right in the years since
then in our conviction that a dominant
privately owned news gathering and
distributing agency would be a
menace beyond words to the welfare
and safety Of press and people! Leav-
ing aside the question of a bad man,
of a sinister control, would we today
give any man, the best man, unre-
strained control or our life blood,
our news supply, free to impose with
longtime contracts what money trib-
ute he would, free to feed us news
with what bias he desires, free to de-
eide whether the news shall have
capitalistic bias or q proletarian
sympathy, free to favor in news treat
ment the Republican or the Demo.
cratic side?
would any member Of the Asso-
ciated Press today regard it as think
able that even if majority of the
members of the organization wished
q report impregnated with bias in ia
vor of or against any measure, or any
party, or any church, or any man. that
the Associated Press would or should
or could furnish such a report?
1t Is UnthinkabIe.
Il answer these questions for you
1t is unthinkable and would call down
on the general manager the riotous
condemnation of every member Of the
Associated Press. And yet it was Just
such an unrestrained control that faced
the newspapers in 1898, menacing us
all and bidding us be on our guard
through all time
After referring to the spread of the
cooperative idea to Canada, Great
Britain, Australia, New Zealand and
Japan, where similar organizations
exist; the speaker continued:
And how has the Associated Press
succeeded as to gaining new members
and retaining old ones?
Understanding that we do not
measure our progress by growth in
number Of members, I may say that
the membership in 1898 was approx
mately 300 and this has grown so that
the present organization started in
1900 with something over 600 and the
