   We are working on a code of ethics with dealers. 

   There are many individual grievances as well as legal matters that have come to our office for meditation and advice. A more detailed report on this will be heard later on. 

   More museums of their own volition are compensating the artist for jury duty. And I would like to add that Mr. Daniel Catton Rich, Director of Chicago Art Institute offered to present this to the Museum Directors Meeting in May, so that it becomes an acknowledged practice. 

         Many of you may be wondering what has happened to the 1948 Woodstock Art Conference Publication. We are still negotiating, and hope that some university press will publish it for us, since we do not have the necessary funds. Also, about the 1949 Conference - it is not definite whether it will be held. However the continuation of these activities are very important, and if it is at all possible the Woodstock Artists Association will try to sponsor a one day conference. Equity will not be a sponsor since there is too little time for preparation.
