Three Barriers Set Up
BY Amended Bylaws.
a. Under the earlier bylaws the
barrier against admission to mem
bership of an applicant competitive
with any existing member was the
requirement that he obtain the af-
firmative vote of four-fifths of the
members voting on the question OF
admission. This barrier, as previous
ly stated, proved to be practically
insurmountable. Under the amended
bylaws the barriers against admis-
sion to membership are three-fold
and equally prohibitive They are
Cd That the applicant obtain the
afirmat tive vote of a majority of the
regular members voting on his men,
bership application;
CD That the applicant pay large
sum of money to the A. P. members
90 That if the applicant has any
exclusive right to a news or news
picture service, he shall, If any COM
petitive A. P. member so requests,
compel the person or corporation
supplying this service to furnish it
on the same terms to such A. P.
member.
Majority Vote Rule Held
Prohibitive to Membership.
95. The affirmative majority vote
required to elect a new member if he
is competitive with an existing men,
ber tends to constitute prohibitive
condition on admission to member
ship and thus serves to effectuate
the combination and conspiracy to
which A. P. members have been par
ties from the time of the organiza-
ton of the Associated Presto deny
to competitors of the individual
members access to A. P. service. One
factor which tends to make this con-
dition prohibitive in practice is the
mutual self-interest of the members,
or their imagined mutual self-inter-
est, In preventing any breach of the
principle that exclusion of competi-
tors from A. P. service is one of the
privileges attaching to A. P. men,

AS recently as August Is, he wrote

Gen. Franco himself, hitherto re-

August 20 that Spaniards must be
prepared for an industrial, moral

WITH THE BRITISH NAVY AIR

ERT, Sept. 3.-Crack bomber pilots
OF the British Navy, dumping scores
of tons of bombs on Axis lines, have
inflicted heavy casualties on Nazi
troops and have smashed motor
transport columns in raids lasting
throughout last night
The naval airmen dropped high
explosives principally in the zone
south of FL Alamein. Returning
flyers said enemy troops and trans
ports were so thick they could not
miss and besides destroying many
motorized vehicles they killed large
numbers of troops.
The naval commander in charge
of these air operations said the
bombers had scored practically 100
per cent hits" in the three nights
since the Nazis attacked.
Last night our airmen started
huge fires along the enemys bulging
southern line, causing great damage
to tanks, motor transport and other
vehicles to say nothing of causing
heavy enemy casualties" he said.
The enemy's advance apparently
was halted at least yesterday, and
last night they got hell Of a plas-
tering from our bombers and
heavier British bomber aircraft.
I'VE have had no casualties and

The naval air forces have encoun-
tered some enemy fighter opposition
but, the British said, not on a scale
which was anticipated.
Part of this forces function has
been to precede big formations of
heavy bombers, illuminating targets
for the hundreds of tons Of bombs
they dropped on and behind the

Donald NJ. Nelson. chairman
Of the War Production Board
and the heads of Americas two
great labor unions--Philip Muir
ray, president of the CIO, and
William Green, head of the AFL,
agreed late today on program
designed to prevent labor bottle
necks in the war effort.
One Of the first steps will be the
immediate appointment OF spe-
cial committee of five to direct the
labor production program. The
committee will be composed Of a
CIO representative, an AFL repre-
sentative, two representatives from
management and an impartial
member who will serve as chairman.
The three-point program was an
nounced by Mr.. Nelson, following an
hours conference with. Mr.. Murray,
Mr. Green and other labor repre-
sentatives at which it was said they
made plea for greater representa-
tion of labor on the WPB.
Right Men in Right Jobs.
Aside from the creation of
special labor production committee
of the WPB. Mr. Nelson said an
agreement also was reached to car
ry out the following program:
/. To put the right men repre-
senting labor in the jobs that they
can do best with due consideration
to "the brains they have got"
z. To give representatives of labor
closer contact with industry in
helping to solve the complex war
production problems.
Mr.. Nelson told newspapermen his
conference with the Nations labor
leaders had been very satisfactory.
He declared they had convinced him
that American labor wants to CO.
operate 100 per cent i'm helping to
win this war"
Will Submit Names.
Mr.. Nelson also explained that
the labor leaders had agreed with
him on three definite points which
are vital to victory. He said Mr..
a
NIT to him the names of the men
they regard as best qualified to rep
resent labor on the special WPB
and labor committee.
The committee, Mr.. Nelson pointed
out, would be concerned primarily
with conducting the labor manage
ment drive throughout the Nation
and to speed up the production of
war materials.
The labor representative told
me- he said, they could be most
| helpful in breaking bottlenecks and
increasing production. They told
me, too, labor should have more
representation and closer contact
with industry in helping to solve
production problems.
Closer Alliance Than Ever.
After Mr.. Nelson had completed
his resume OF developments at the
! conference, Mr.. Murray added this
statement:
1T was an eminently satisfactory
conference.
Out of the developments we ex-
pect to have a closer alliance with
industry and the war production
effort, closer than we've ever had
before. We are going to give every
assistance to Mr.. Nelson and to the
Government to help win this war" ("
Mr.. Green virtually echoed the
statement Of Mr.. Murray. He said
the three-point program undoubt-
edly would facilitate the produc-
ton of war materials. All points
of difference, If there were any, he
declared. were adjusted at the con-
ference. And he closed by saying
Il am satisfied"

ton probably would be named in
