When publishers >f that paper refused to cede to Jemunds of the local Guild, the nembers went out on a strike and vere l'ully supported by the white juild. After eleven weeks, the iwuers Went bankrupt, and the itsw publishers signed an agroenent with the local Ouild. Stuff r.embers of the new Negro weekv, the People's Voice, also' be- . <-ng to the Newspaper Guild, an tffihata of?the?CIO. Moefe?wtuff .-..I-...... xt. ~ i fvoi, are not members of any ,rade union, partly because the average Negro newspaper is still uri as a small individual busidnternri.se where the personvl relationship plays an importint part and partly because- tlfe Wgro capitalist is not difFerept' !rom any other capitalist whose tinin object is io amass fortune inder the euphemistic phrase of 'enlightened self-interest." As a result, the Negro capitalist has mowned upon unionism in his own >lant while advocating it else-- . vhere. The social vision of the S'egro capitalist of today makes i sad story! S'ews Coverage The collection of news for the *sTegro press is done by reporters md?c o i' res pond en tsco v o r 1 tYg lo- al and regional centers; by volintary reports made by instituions, fraternal organizations, Hisiness establishments, the NA \CP, and other similar organiza rrons; and by seventeen news gathering agencies of all types _ ind shades, only three of which teem to be of nutional importmce: the Associated Negro Press >f Chicago, Calvin's News Service of New York, and Scott S'ewspaper Syndicate of Atlanta vhreh furnishes news to the Atanta Duily World and its thirty>ne subsidiaries. The Associateed STegro Press (ANP) by far the nost important of the three main lews .services is a coperative lews-gathering agency founded p in 1019 by Mr. Claude A. Bar- v iett Tor" rendering service to Ne- / ?ro newspapers. Any newspaper [ if good standing which agrees tc ^ ibide by the rules of the agency r nave on nnnlioof Inn -f t .wenty-five dollars may lx> grant- n ;d membership. There were sixty- ? l>ip:ht papers which held member- j, ship in 1941. News is issued twice fc weekly and under two classificaions, class "A" and. class "B." ^ rhese releases leave Chicago on v Fridays and Mondays of each t iveek. Class "A" service costs $6 y oer week and entitles the holder js to both releases. Class 'B" ser- a /ice costs- S4 -por?week- ami des the holder to receive the t Friday release only. n Each member newspaper agrees ? so cover news in its vicinity .and so report it promptly to the central office of he ANP in Chicago for distribution to all members. Hie greater part of news relayed to the newspapers hr the twertm weekly releases, however, is gnth ?red by ANP's own staff.
