members or the American NeWS- paper Publishers Association, the land Press Association, the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association, the New England Publishers Association, and other organizations of publishers. s- "This code" Davis said in his "a shortening of hours, for mini- mum wages higher than provided in the blanket agreement, for the maintainance of existing contracts, and the reservation of the consti- tutional right of free press which cannot be abridged by the applica- tion of a licensing system or the use of injunctions to suppress a newspaper"
 Herewith is the letter of trans- initial attached to the code, ad- dressed to the MIRA and signed by Howard Davis, president of the ANPA.
 Attached hereto you will find a code prepared in accordance with the provisions of the National Re- covery Act by the American News paper Publishers Association, for which approval is requested, in be- half of publishers of daily and of Sunday newspapers, members of the association and others who may desire to become party to such a code.
 It is respectfully requested that paragraphs CD, CD, (3), (4. and (5) of this code be accepted as substitute paragraphs for para graphs CD to CD inclusive in the presidents blanket agreement; that paragraphs (0, CID, G2), t13) and G4) of the president $ blanket agreement be eliminated so that publishers signing the presidents blanket agreement and this code, with the substitutions and eliminations above proposed, should be considered as having done their part in the presidents Unemployment drive.
 The substitution of paragraph CD in this code for paragraph CD lnent is essential to the preserva- ton of the present circulation struc- ture of newspapers.
 The substitute paragraph CD meets the intent of the similar paragraph in the presidents agree ment as it applies specifically to our business.
 The same may be said for our substitute paragraphs (3) and (4).
 Our paragraph (O covers the matters referred to in paragraphs i5), (6), and CD of the presidents agreement, insofar as they relate to conditions in our business.
 The elimination of paragraph f9) is requested as publishers do no sell merchandise and this paragraph does not apply.
 The elimination of paragraph CID is requested because the sub- mission of the code by the Ameri- can Newspaper Publishers Associa- tion makes it unnecessary.
 The elimination of paragraph G2) is requested because 1t does not apply to newspaper publish ing.
 The elimination of paragraphs (13) and 14) is requested because the signing of this code makes them unnecessary.
