THE COPYRIGHT LAWS
CODIFICATION BY REPRESENTA-
TIvEs OF PUBLISHERS.

The third of a series Of conferences in
which practically every branch of the pub
fishing interests of the country is repre-
scented began at the Library of Congress
today for the purpose of completing for
the action of Congress a codif1ca ton OF
and amendments to the copyright laws.
The first and second conferences were
held In New York in May and November Of
last year. They were initiated by Her
bert Putnam, librarian of Congress, at the
suggestion of the chairman of the Senate
committee on library. The two previous
sessions resulted in the tentative draft Of
the proposed codiication, and at the pres
ent meeting 1t is contemplated to complete
the work that Congress may have the re-
suit at the present session.
The meeting today was attended by about
sixty of those interested in the work. They
represent the American Copyright League
the American Bar Association. American
Dramatists' Club, American Library Asso-
citation. American Newspaper Publishers
Association, American Publishers Copy
right League, Association of Theater Man.
ayers of Greater New York, International
Typogra phical Union, Photographers Copy
right League, United Typothetae and many
other organizations of similar character.
1t is expected the conference Will con-
tfnue for several days The program con-
templates The final discussion and adoption
of the sections of the proposed codifiea ton
AT former meetings the result indicated
such unansmity of opinion that satisfac-
tory conclusion is predicted.

NOT ON THE BILLS.
Scene In the Midst Of Performance
at Local Theater.

A scene not on the bill was enacted last
night behind the curtain OF the National
Theater. In the performance of 1.-The Pit
by Wilton Lackaye and company there Is
one scene In which fully 100 supers are
employed. 1t is the famous pit scene rep
resenting the trading room of the Chicago
stock exchange. Here the hero of the
drama. Curtis Jadwin, is the central figure
OF noisy demonstration. during which the
story of the reckless fnaneier and specu-
lator is brought to Il thrilling climax.
AS Is customary with the management a
force for this exciting part OF the drama is
drawn from the local contingent OF supers.
Last night there was wait somewhat
longer than usual preliminary to the act
showing the pit action, but there was no
cause for delay apparent to the audience.
However. the murmurs of moving throng
and a little later the strains Of Everybody
Works but Father" came sweeping In from
which caused some comment. and suspicion
that something was doing.
1t Is stated that when the "supes" found
out that they Were to receive only 30 cents
per hour for their strenuous few minutes
work, they registered q strong protest, and
IL required the characteristic tact and
diplomacy that marks the Brady manage
ment. together with the persuasive elo-
quence OF policeman. TO bring about an
armistice.
The supers went on and by agreement af-
forded Mr.. L.ackaye the climax opportunity
OF the play, In which he loses lis fortune
IN tho skrInish of bulls and bears. and in
cldentally knocks down his business rival,

PAY OF PATROL DRIVERS
Appeal to the Commissioners for an
Increase

II realize that the question OF the expense
OF living, which has been one OF much con-
Germ to the members OF the force Is ex
perienced by the drivers In the department.
and / would be very glad to aid them at
an opportune time for a small increase
In pay"
With the foregoing Endorsement Mai. syI-
vester, superintendent OF police, today for
warded 10 the Commissioners an appeal
from the patrol drivers of the police de-
partment. Joseph Coushlin and George Nc
Cauley head their fellow-employes in the
petition for better remuneration, and state
various reasons why they think there
should be an addition to the salary of $50
per month allowed patrol drivers at the
present time.
The work OF patrol driver Is not con-
fined simply TO driving the patrol wagon -
the petitioners declare, FOR he must groom
and care for horses. and clean all harness
and wagons at The station I'm addition to
keeping clean and filled large number OF
lanterns used 10 mark dangerous holes In
the street or sidewalk.
AT any hour of day or night the patrol
driver must care for all stray, lost or
stolen animals brought to the police sta
tton. and the hours of duty, from O'Clock
to o'clock. alternating night work every
other week. are four hours longer service
per day than is required of any other
municipal employees. Further than this the
patrol driver Is exposed to danger and is
the street, yet. under the law, the pairoa
driver is not entitled to pension for injury
or disability incurred In the line of duty.
''The patrol driver IS at an annual ex-
pense OF about $40 for uniforms. and rents
and the cost of living have so greatly In
creased IN recent years that, on the pres
ent salary, the patrol driver with family
cannot make ends meet"

Thomas L. Jones of the District bar was
