still fighting eur way, and he could not adj

INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT Law.
Literary Men Make Little Progress
Hope for Aid From Speaker Reed.


Hope for Aid From Speaker Reed.
LONDON, Oct THE international literary
congress met today jules Lemini permanent
secretary, presented q report on copyright He
attributes the defeat of the copyright
bill in congress TO prevailing unquenchabie
antagonsm in England, and to antsgonism at
home between the Eastern and Western states.
He held ont little hope of favorable settle
ment of the question. For the pres .nt he pro-
posed, as means for reaching the desired end,
that the congress seed thanks to all in America
who had defended the good cause.
Count Keratry, speaking from long expert
ence in America, declared the report too gloomy.
that successful issue might be expected far
sooner than the report indicated II had been
easy hitherto under the rules OF the House of
Representatives, for q few active opponents to
prevent the copyright bill arriving ~ the stage o.
discussion. but the recent accession to power
of Speaker Reed. great friend OF the copyright
association, would render such tactics more
dinicult fresh bin. he said, would be dis
cussed in December. and this bill would pass.
