Pull text of the resolution adopted follows: "Whereas, the delugt of copy from uninvited sources, offered by persons and organizations who seek newspaper publicity free of cost through the news columns has become an. unpardonable annoyance in every newspaper office, and "Whereas, the postoffloe depart ment desires to eliminate as far as possible, aQ unnecessary matter from mails and thereby increase the efficiency of all mail service, therefore, "Be It Resolved, that members of Southern Newspaper Pub lishers association (a), denounce the present practice tt thr'sfc-iuaicd commercial association agentry' (b), make every reasonable effort to keep their news columns clear as nearly as possible of freely offered unpaid puffery; and (c), use the most effective and the most positive methods available in each individual newspaper office to prevent the preparation and distribution of such copy."
