THE INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT BILL.
HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.

HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE
Washington, Feb s-The House Committee on the
Judiciary held a special meeting today to hear argu
mentS on the international Copyright bill {. B0Vee,
Of Newl Ork, who first addressed the committee, said
he appeared in behalf OF a large publisher but not in
spirit OF unqualified opposition to the Chace-
Breckenridge bill. lie did not deny that there was
some basis in the appeal for relief by the publishers
and authors; but there another and more numer-
class, and the committee should remember the
interests Of the people in legisatine and secure tho
minimum rather thai. the maximum price OF books.
The Chacc bill was not an international copyngm
inasmuch as II contained reciprocal features.
Here Mr. Bovee read from English papers con-
demnations Of the bill by Mr.. Gladstone the United
British Printers the British Authors. Instead Of
reciprocity there would be retaliation By England II
the bill passed The authors. he continued had been
forced into this measure by tie publishers. The cost
OF books in England was unGucstiOnaby higher than
in this country. Mr.. Bovce produced number Of
books and showed the great difference In cost be
tween foreign and American publications. A. to
the printers interests. Mr. BOvcc admitted that the
typographical unions had petitoned in favor Of the
bill. II seemed to him that the printers Interests
would be injured. The American author could be
protected and the foreign author we'll without
monopoly, by the adoption Of the royalty system.
George Haven Putnam, Of Newlork. said that no
could speak with knowledge Of the views Of the
booksellers of the country, and from that knowledge
he believed that the book trade In favor OF the
bill English authors did not question that re
dprOcity would follow the passage of the bl aud thl
the English Government would accept the plan. In
conclusion Mr.. Putnam asserted that there was an
erroneous impression current respecting book
mOnopOles.
Judge W. II. Armour the next speaker, said that
Mr.. Putnam had spoken Of an International copyright
