Copyright Does Not Protect
Them in Sales Contracts.
NEWSPAPER WINS.
In Case Charging It With
Copyright Piracy.
In Reproducing a Map From an
Official Publication.

Washington, June 1.-The supreme
court of the United States today de-
cided three important copyright cases,
the opinions being handed down by
Justice Day. The first decision was
in the case of Bobbs- Merrill company
VS.. r. H. Macy & Co. and Isodore H
Strauss, the decision being in favor
of Macy & Co. In this case the court
dealt with the question whether the
sale by retail dealer of a copyrighted
book below the price fixed by the pub
fishers is an infringement of copyright.
The Bobbs- Merrill company publish
ed novel and stipulated in a printed
notice that it should not be sold for
less than one dollar per copy The
house of Macy sold the work for 80
cents and suit was brought according
ly in the circuit court of the United
States for the southern district of New
like result followed when the case was
appealed to the circuit court of ap-
peals and today's decision was in the
same line.
The suit was based on the theory
that the right to dispose of a copy
righted work gives the owner the
right to place restrictions on its sale.
The right of publishers to regulate
the price at which their books may
be sold by retailers and jobbers also
was involved in the two cases of
Charles Scribner's Sons versus Isodore
r. H. Macy and company, all of New
York, which was against the former
concern. The suits were brought by
the Scribners as representatives of the
and they sought in the first of them to
enjoin the defendants from selling
their copyrighted books at prices be-
low those fixed by the association and
from buying any such publications
from anyone who is not member of
the association on the ground that
such a course is an infringement of
copyright.
In the second case the allegations
was that Macy and company had
sought to induce other dealers to vio-
late their contract with the publish
ers. The fact was brought out that
the Publishers association requires
firms dealing in their copyrighted
books to enter int- n contra ct r'to
maintain fixed prices for year and
not sell to anyone who would cut
prices. The circuit court of appeals
cases. holding that the sellers had not
agreed not to cut prices and there
was no evidence of an effort to in
f1uence others. -~----
That the republication of the map
printed in an official publication is not
always piracy under the copyright law,
was held today by the supreme court
of the United States in deciding the
case of the Globe Newspaper company
of Boston VS.. George H. Walker &
Co., in which case the decision was
favorable to the newspaper. The suit
grew out Of the fact that the Globe
reprinted a map of the electric rail-
ways of Massachusetts, which was
compiled by Walker and published as
a part of a state report in 1899. Walk
er brought suit for damages on the
charge of infringement of copyright and
the United States circuit court for the
district Of Massachusetts, awarded him
$3.50, but the supreme court reversed
the decision of the lower court.
