11 ASSOCIATED PRESS NOT TRUST, RULES GREGORY e aoonai eairao THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, MARCH 21, 1915. CI Sale Members Are Not Restricted and Organization Has Right to Say Who May Join It, Says Attorney-General. ASHINGTON. March 17. Attor ney-General Gregory in a letter addressed to James M. Beck. counsel for the Sun Printing and Pub lishing Association of New York, holds there ts no found for action by the i Federal authorities against the Asso ciated Press under the anti-trust law. Th Attorney-General's letter follows: "I have given consideration to the complaint against the Associated Press for alleged violations of the Federal anti-trust act presented to my prede cessor by you as counsel for the Sun Printing & Publishing Association. Objects Are Co-operative "The Associated Press was organized Tinder the membership corporations law . of the State of New York. According to its certificate of incorporation it is " 'An association of certain persons, who. owning or representing certain newspapers, unite in a mutual and CO operative organization for the collec tion and interchange, with greater economy and efficiency, of information and Intelligence for publication in the newspapers owned or represented by them.' "The objects of the corporation as stated in the certificate are: " To gather, obtain and procure by Its own instrumentalities, by exchange with its members and by any other ap propriate means, any and all kinds of information and intelligence, tele graphic and otherwise, for the use and benefit of its members and to furnish and supply the came to its members xor publication in the newspapers owned or represented by them, under end subject to such regulations, con- ciitions and limitations as rouy be pre scribed by the by-laws, end the mutual co-operation, benefit and protection of its members. Organisation Slot for Profit. "The certificate further provides that: The corporation is not to make a profit nor to make or declare dividends and is not to engage in the business of selling intelligence nor traffic in the came. "Those eligible for membership are thus described in the bylaws. Article 31. Section 1: M The sole or the part owner of a newspaper, or an executive officer of a corporation, limited liability company, or joint stock or other association which is the owner of a newspaper thall be eligible as a member of this corporation, in the way and upon and subject to the conditions and limita tions hereinafter specified, provided that not more than one person at a time shall be eligible by reason of connection with any one newspaper. Ko other person shall be eligible." "Members may be elected by the af firmative vote of not leas than four fifths of all the members of the cor poration (bylaws. Article III, Sec tion 1). Right of Protest Guarded. "Members may also be elected by the board of directors, when no meet ing of the members of the corporation is in session, but no applicant for mem bership can be elected by the directors over the opposition of any member en titled to the right to protest (Article III. Sestion 2). The right of protest is the right to object to the admission of new members from a given territorial district (Article III. Section 5). It can only be conferred by an affirmative vote of seven-eighths of all the mem bers (Article III. Section 6). "The right of protest has no appli cation to the election of applicants by a four-tifths vote of the members themselves. "Each member is entitled to one vote by virtue of his membership (Article VIT. Section 1) and also a vote for each t-S of the bonds of the association registered in his name up to $1000 provided he waive interest -on the bonds (Article XII. Section 3). ine anairs or the corporation are managed by 15 directors, who are elect ed by members of the corporation and must themselves be members (Article V. Sections 1. 2, ). Costa Apportioned Equitably. "The cost of maintaining the news ervice of the corporation and all other expenses -of the corporation are appor tioned among the members by the lioard of directors in such manner as it may deem equitable (Article IX, Sec tion l). "Broadly stated, the news distrib uted by the Associated Press conies to ft in two ways: First, from the reports made to it by the various members of happenings in their respective locali ties: and. second, from correspondents, reporters and other agencies employed by it directly. The news of the world thus brought together is then distrib uted by the Associated Press to its members, principally, of course, by telegraph. To that end it leases and . operates In the neighborhood of 30, 00 miles of telegraph lines. "The principal grounds of complaint ere: "1. That the members of the Asso ciated Press are prevented or at least seriously hindered from obtaining news by purchase or otherwise from any rival afrency. "2. That the members of the Associ ated Press are prohibited from fur nishing the news collected by them re spectively to any newspaper which is not a member. "3. That through the operation ot the right of protest above described, a newspaper in a given locality apply ing for membership cannot be elected without the consent of the members in that locality. Anti-Trust Uw Not Violated. "Assuming that the kind of service in which the Associated Press is en gaged is interstate commerce (a ques tion not free from doubt) I am never theless of the opinion that it is no violation of the anti-trust act for a group Of neWSDaDers in fnrm nn auarv elation to collect and distribute news ior ineir common benefit and to that end to agree to furnish the news col lected by them only to each other or IO association; provided that no attempt is made to prevent members from purchasing or otherwise obtain ing news from rival agencies. If that is true, the corollary must be true, namely, that newspapers desiring to form and maintain such an organiza tion may determine who shall be and who shall not be their associates. "This, of course, is not to say that fcuch an association might not develop Into an unlawful monopoly. The facts adduced, however, in my 'opinion, do not show that that haa happened in the case of the Associated Press. "This disposes of the second and third grounds of complaint based on the requirement that members of the association shall not furnish the news collected by them to any one outside , the association, and on the restrictions as to membership. Restraint Charge Discussed. "As regards the first ground of com plaint, assuming as I do that the col lection and distribution of news among the several states Is Interstate trade or commerce, any by-law or other regula tion adopted by the Associated Press which would have the effect of pre venting or seriously hindering its members from purchasing or other wise obtaining news from a rival agency would be, I think, a restraint upon Interstate trade or commerce and an attempt to monopolize. Tbo con tention that the Associated Press has Imposed such a regulation upon ita membership, or at least has the power to ao so, has a foundation in section 7 of article VIII of the by-laws, which reads as follows: " 'Experience having shown that it Is difficult, if not impossible, to avoid or prevent violation or the rules pre scribed by the 'last preceding section, or to detect or prove any such viola tion if the members are permitted to purchase news from other associations. ana tnat such purchase may be seri ously prejudicial to the interest and welfare of this corporation and its members, the board of directors - may, in their discretion, forbid the mem bers to purchase intelligence from any other such association. Power Never Exercised. "When the board of directors by a vote of two-thirds of all ita members shall decide and notify any member that the purchase or receipt of news from any other person, firm, corpora tion or association, not a member of this corporation, er represented in this corporation by a member, or any other action by such member, establishes condition that will be likely to permit the news of the corporation to be dis closed to unauthorized persons, such members shall immediately discontinue purchasing or receiving such news, or such other objectionable action. The decision of the board of directors as to the establishment of such condition snail be final and the fact shall not thereafter be open to question by a member.' "The president of the Associated Press states that the power reserved in this by-law has not been exercised. As I understand the complainant dis putes that assertion. It is not neces sary, however, for me to determine that issue of fact, since my conclusion is that this by-law. whether It has been enforced or not, should be abro gated. I am advised by the president of the Associated Press that that would be done promptly. Legitimate Precaution Approved. The following resolution of the board of directors of the Associated Press is also pointed to as an obstacle in the way of the members of the As sociated Press obtaining tho news of any rival agency: Resolved. That placing of an op erator or any other news gathering or distributing association In the office of an Associated Press paper is a step which establishes a condition which will be likely to permit tho news of this corporation to be disclosed to un authorized persons and so endangering the inviolability of the news service oi the Associated Press that it is seri ously prejudicial to the Interest and welfare of this corporation and its members and the board of directors. by authority of the by-laws, hereby forbid any member of the Associated Press from placing an operator of any other news gathering or distributing association in his office or building. (February 20. 1901.)' "I am not prepared to say, however. that this regulation has not reasonable relation to a legitimate end, namely preventing representatives of rival agencies from coming into possession before publication of news collected by the Associated Press. Members Are Not Hampered. "Nor am I convinced that the regu lation seriously hinders members of the Associated Press desiring to ob tain the service of another news agency. On the contrary, my informa tion is that some of them do obtain news from other agencies, while at the same time complying with this regu lation. As further showing , tnat news agency may serve a newspaper without an operator in the office of the newspaper, I refer to the statement made to me by the president of the Associated Press to the etfect that many of its members have neither an operator nor a wire of the association directly in their offices, but receive the news items by messengers and other means of communication. If my information on these points is incor rect I shall be glad to have It cor rected. "It Is perhaps unnecessary for me to point out that if the Sun Printing & Publishing Association is not satis fied with the conclusions I have reached. It may Itself bring suit against the Associated Press, either for an in junction or for damages, and thereby obtain a judicial determination as to the merits of its complaint. "Regretting that tho pressure of other business entitled to priority as to the time of consideration has pre vented an earlier disposition of this complaint, 1 am. sincerely yours, "T. W.

For the further promotion of the work as carried on by the Oregon Child Welfare Commission a benefit per formance will be given at the Heilig Theater Thursday afternoon, April 8. This commission, appointed by the Governor, carries no appropriation. Its purpose is to study various phases of child life in the state, gathering statls tics and disseminating knowledge in a manner similar to the work con ducted by the Federal Children's Bu reau at Washington, D. C. under the direction of Miss Julia C. Lathrop.. In its recent efforts to obtain bet ter legislation on more adequate birth and deaeth registration laws and on preserving the infants' eyes at birth, the commission had the co-oeration and assistance of the Federal Bureau. The adoption of theBe two recommen dations through legislative action is expected to decrease infant mortality and infant blindness. Other protective measures were urged, but owing to the economy system generally adopted, they failed to pass. The programme at this benefit per formance is being planned under the direction of Mrs. Harry E!. Chipman. The following members constitute the commission: Mrs. Robert H. Tate, president; Lu R.
