Newspapers Join In Resolution The text of the resolution adopted by representatives of 11 large newspaper associations in Chicago June 29 is as follows: The newspaper editors and pub lishers from all sections of the Unit ed States individually and through their co-operative associations listed below are gathered here to take ac tion upon the American Newspaper guild’s recent declaration for the closed shop in editorial and news de partments. We recognize the fact that when a problem of major importance to the public is presented to us, the public is entitled to a statement. This meeting is by no means one of opposition to collective bargaining, better hours, pay or working condi tions for newspaper men and women. We are here to discuss the closed shop as a matter of journalistic and public principle, not as an economic issue. Freedom a Guarantee. Established for the benefit of all the people are four fundamental rights in the constitution, freedom of religion, freedom of speech,, free •dom of the press and freedom of as sembly. Experience has proved and even now is demonstrating in Russia, Italy and Germany that the interfer ence with one of these fundamental rights means the curtailing of the others —the collapse of liberty itself. Freedom of the press is not an ex-"* emption accorded by the constituion for the benefit of publishers; it is but one of these four guarantees. It is a publisher’s responsibility, a cit izen’s right—one which entitles him to an accurate statement of what is taking place in order that he may have the facts wherewith to judge matters of public policy and take whatever action may ,be necessary to protect himself and that which he holds dear. There has never been a time in our history when uncolored presenetation of news was as vitally important as today. Foundation Needed. The extension of the great press as sociations serving news to newspapers of varying social, economic, political and religious beliefs has emphasized this development of impartial news treatment. Thousands of men and wo men are devoting their lives to the gathering and presentation of the news without bias. Only on such a foundation of f actual reporting can sound public opinion and wise public policies be based. This vital service of the press to the public can he performed properly only when those who a”e responsible for the publication are free to choose the persons whom they deem best qualified to report and edit the news. Gu Id Partisan. This responsibility cannot be dis charged if t/cme outside authority, beyond their control, determines whom they shall or shall not employ. That is precisely what the American Newspaper ghild seeks by its demand. And that demand is the more serious because the guild is now committed to a number of definite political ob jectives. The recent American Newspaper guild convention in St. Louis by re solution took positions on such de batable subjects as the war in Spain, the court hill and the support of a particular political party. In the same convention the guild as an organiza tion enlisted as a partisan in the tre mendous public dispute now involv ing the entire labor movement in this country. Following the expression on the public policies enumerated, the guild laid down mandatory rules calling for a closed or guild shop. The closed shop is present in mechanical depart ments of many newspapers, absent in some. No Change of Bias. We unite now, however, in un swerving objection to the closed shop for news and editorial department workers, not because we repaid it as a labor issue involving questions of wages, hours and working conditions, but • because we are unwilling to turn over the news columns to any group already committed as an organization on highly controversial public ques tions. , We make no charge that bias is found per se in the work of a Guild member. To do so would imply bias per se as in a non-Guild worker. Neither is true. Bias arises, however, among any group respecting any pol icy common to the group. No news paper can command confidence in the fairness of i(s news presentation if it selects all its employes from only one political party, one religious denomi nation, or any one group devoted to a single cause. We do not deny that causes require champions, and that progress springs from the genius of advocates. Equal ly important to society, however, are those who report the controversial scene. It is the newspaper man’s job to do that, not as a partisan but as an objective observer. Declare Opposition. Therefore be it resolved, that as editors and publishers here assem bled from all parts of the United States we decaler our unalterable op position to the closed Guild shop or any other form of closed shop for those who prepare and edit news copy and pictures for newspapers, and we hereby express our determination not to enter into any agreement upon such basis.

STARTING POINT (Greensboro Daily News) With Senator Bailey’s declaration that senate approval of the adminis tration’s $1,500,000,000 relief bill is a victory for a “spending policy” the Daily News has no fault to find. There is likewise more truth than poetry in the senator’s further assertion that “relief has become a pork barrel bus iness, not Congress but localities, contractors and dealers throughout the country.” But right there is where we stop to suggest that the Tar Heel honorable supplant talk with action and move < even though in a small way since cur tailment of federal expenditures ob viously is not going to occur on any major scale, to do his own bit, but way of example if nothing more, in his own back yard. Senator Bailey has undoubtedly seen one, or probably all, of those lith ographic releases from the North Carolina WPA. You know, and we’ll bet you he knows, what we’re talking about; those "WPA Its Story” pub lications which are all photographs and art work, offset printing, linen 1 paper and camera likenesses of re lief bigshots. How much they actu ally cost, wo do not know. But they are high-class stuff, genuine works of art, turned out by WPA workers but under the imprimateur of private es tablishments. Oh, yes, we almost for got to mention; the beaming physio gomy which so frequently appears on the frontispiece is generally accredit ed with having been elevated to the State WiPA directorship through the instrumentalities of the same protest ing senator himself. So it’s a mere starting point that we are suggesting for the Tar Heel hon orable; doubly acceptable we assume, in the dual purpose which it would serve by reducing expenditures on non-labor that much and at the same time cutting off its proportionate part of that usage of public funds for pro paganda purposes (which Senator Bailey and his co-critics likewise view as indefensible. 1916 —Mammoth German submarine Deutschland slipped into Chesapeake Bay after epoch-making lone voyage of 4,000 miles through English-French fleets.

Peter was the great preacher of the Crusades, and on one he personally led, 300.000 Christians were lost —not in the struggle with the Turks for the Holy Land but in battles with oth er Christians along the route to Pa lestine! Nevertheless, Peter played a tre mendous role in history, for the Cru sades he stirred up were the first stir ring of the common people in Euro pean history—the birth of democracy.

July 8, 1889—What was to become in legend the classic prizefight in American fistic history, took place at Mississippi City, Miss., with John L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain in the ring.

Fewer actual blows were struck in the two fours and 16 minutes than faced each other, than in a modern 10-round, 30-minute bout. AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY 20 Years Ago Today—A dark day for Germany. Hindenburg’s careful ly planned heavy offensive north of the Aisne on an 11-mile front, from north of Joney to California plateau, was repulsed with heavy losses’, though the Germans were using liquid fire again. An attack against French on the left bank of the Meuse simil arly failed. In the East, heavy fight- I ing had begun around Pinsk, with ! Russians driving Germans out of! trenches they had held for many ] months. The front west of Stanislaw i was broken. The Russians, whom the Germans had counted out of the war, were active again against the Turks, too; theymad e gains in the region of Sakkiz. To the South, Austrians were being hard-pressed again by the Italians; they needed help. And there was a crisis in the government re sulting from Socialist Leader Matthias Erzburger’s demand in the Reichstag for far-reaching domestic reforms and peace without annexations or indem- What Do You Know About North Carolina?

Von Bethmann-Hollweg rejected the Erzburger plan in a Reichstag speech which Allied governments promptly radiated around the worldas further conclusive evidence that the Germans must be beaten at any cost if Europe was to be saved from enslavement to the Kaiser. As one concession to the discontent however, Vonl Betnmann-Hollweg re placed Zimmermann, author of the fa mous message to Mexico about war with the United States, as foreign minister. There was an omen at Cologne. A victorious war with the French (in 1870) had given the Cathedral there its famous giant bell, Kaiserglocke.

The teachers and house mothers will come ahead to prepare, and wl\at a day that “home coming” will be —physical examinations, get t:ng settled in dormitories, finding old friends, making new ones, getting in to the harness of regular jobs to carry on the kitchen whose task will sud denly become .many times more diffi cult. This year’s “home coming” will be a great one for little boys and little girls with their new buildings, and we can hardly wait for the middle sized girls to see the renovation of the in terior of the home they will have all to themselves. But the middle sized boys will feel no such joy; true, they will now have the whole building to themselves, but it remains an old shop converted into a dormitory and a dreary, uncomfortable place for human beings to live in. How eager ly they and we look forward to the day when some generous heart will enable us to erect a new big boys’ dormitory so that the middle sized boys can have the present one, and their old shack can be torn down. But we still say home-coming day is a great one. Still over it hangs the pall of unpaid grocery bills. Will the grocery men sell us food when their bills are already so big and long standing? Surely we must reduce them, eradicate them if possible, and that’s why we are sending out this SOS. The bill is $1853.35.
