ers and manufacturers alike. because
OF the outcome of the hearing over
which he presided wherein proposed
changes in the copyright law were dis
cussed. one of the most difficult prob
lens ever presented to Congress has
apparently been amicably adjusted by
the joint committees on patents, and
if Congress itself ratlhes the action
of the committee the outcome will be
the cessation of hostilities between
musical composers and manufacturers
of mechanical methods for reproducing
music which has been going on for
years. Both sides have surrendered in
part and representatives. OF each nave
signed agreements which seemed i'm
possible at the outset.
In brief. it is this:
After the passage of the act ii VIII
be possible to copyright musical com
positions and to have the protection of
such copyright extended to perforated
rolls, discs, cylinders, music boxea
ana, in fact, every mechanical device
for reproducing music. That is where
the composers win, Dul on the otntI
hand there will be no such thing as
monopoly to be enjoyed by one big
concern for every maker of musical
boxes, perforated rolls, discs, cylinders
and other mechanical contrivances will
have the right to reproduce that copy
righted music upon the payment OF
royalty and this royalty is fixed by
agreement at two cents for every such
disc. roll, etc, manufactured, payment
to be made by affiSing stamp to be
obtained at the copyright office where
made.
Senator Smoot is naturally elated
over the outcome of this fight which
has been very bitter and he is greatly
pleased over the fact that the agree
ment has been reached with the entire
and cordial acquiescence of both sides
to the agreements.
