PRESIDENT TELLS
OF JOINING SOCIETY
Denies Knowing of Guilds
Charge Newspaper Group
Is Company-D Dominated.

President Roosevelt told his press
conference today that he knew moth
ing about charges of the American
Press Society," in which he yesterday
accepted honorary membership. is an
'employer-dominated" organization.
The Executive Committee of the
Washington Newspaper Guild last
night approved resolutions in which
they asked both President Roosevelt
and Chief Justice Hughes to recon-
slider their acceptance of honorary
memberships in the American Press
Society. The guilds resolutions we're
being dispatched by mail to both Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Hughes.
Questioned about the controversy
this morning, MIR. Roosevelt said both
he and Steve Early, his secretary, had
read the constitution of the Ameri-
can Press Society and decided that it
looked pretty good"
Quotes Society's Constitution.
He then quoted a section of the con-
stitution outlining the detectives of
the society as being designed to i'm
prove the standards of American news
papers and newspaper work
I'VE said amen and accepted" the
President said smilingly.
In the resolutions the Washington
Guild stated that the American Press
Society was organized by newspaper
executives and interests hostile to the
principles Of the American Newspaper
Guild and is regarded by the rank and
file of working newspaper men and
women as an employer dominated or
ganization."
The guild, the resolution to the
President continued, considers it in
credible that the President of the
United States, who has shown COM
mendable interest in the betterment of
the conditions of the worker, would,
If properly informed by his secretariat
OF the true character of the American
Press Society, have lent his name to
such Subversive enterprise"
Letter to Justice Hughes.
In its resolution to Chief Justice
Hughes the guild charged that the
society "has engaged in activities in
conflict with the American News
paper Guild and its principles which
might eventually be brought to issue
before the Supreme Court"
In brief, the American Press So
ciety by the terms of its constitu-
ton dedicates itself primarily to rails
ing the standards of journalism with
out recourse to collective bargaining.
The constitution does provide, how
ever, that contract negotiations may
be initiated if unanimous approval
Of the society's Board of Governors is
first obtained
President RoSevelt's acceptance of
honorary membership in the American
Press Society creates a division of
allegiance in the Roosevelt family,
since Mrs. Roosevelt, a daily COL
umnist. is a member of the American
Newspaper Guild.
