SEEKS TO PREVENT
INJUSTICE In SUITS
Townsend Introduces Bill to Amend
Moving Picture Copy
: right Laws.

Representative Edward W. Townsend.
CT the Seventh New Jersey district, has
introduced bill annulling the copyright
law 50 far as 1t applies y moving picture
shows. The measure. According to Mr.
Townsend. affords ample protection to
the owners OF copyrights and 'as de-
signed to prevent strike SUITS Dis
cussing his bill, Mr.. Townsend said:
As the law stands to-day, IL the pro-
prietor OF moving picture theater ex-
hibits a hlm made from a copyright
story he Is liable to a penalty OF 800
for the first performance and $50 for
each subsequent performance. As there
are usually at ieast six performances
daily at which the same film Is thrown
on the screen the proprietor OF a mov-
ing picture theater is liable to a penalty
OF $50 II he used a scenario from a copy
rtghted story. AS there are produced
Rom forty to fifty reels for each fifm
made II can readily be understood that
such suits may bring ruin to the moving
Picture business
MY bill provides that II suit is brought
for the violation Of a copyright the pro-
prietor OF a moving picture theater must
prove that he had no knowledge Of the
existence of copyright In the story upon
which II was based, and had no reason
able means OF ascertaining that copy
right existed. The burden Of proof is
upon the violator OF the copyright II
he can prove Innocence he must pay one
penalty only-prJvided he ceases, upon
notification, to continue the performance,
Should he fail to heed thef notice he Is
still subject to the penalties provided in
the present law. At the same time It is
specifically stipulated that a plea OF in
nocence shall not be considered In any
case where drama or play which has
Leen produced is concerned"

DEFENDS BEET SUGAR.
Colorado Mnn Says Passage of Bill
Would Wipe Out Industry.

In statement issued yesterday, c. c.
Hamlin, of Colorado Springs. chairman
of the executive committee OF the United
Sta"es Beet Sugar Industry, declares
that the passage OF the free sugar bill
would absolutely wipe out the domestic
sugar industry in the United States.
The bill means the confiscatiOn OF
SO0.000.00O directly invested in beet sugar
factories. and perhaps as much more
invested in industries dependent upon
this one said Mr.. Hamlin. 1T would
take from the farmers the $SO.OIO.0O0 now
paid to them for beets besides destroying
the benefits of increased fertility result
ing from beet culture, which in the ag-
gregate amount TO far more than this.
II would destroy all competition and give
a monopoly 10 the New York refiners
with whom the whole agitation for free
sugar originated.
should it become a law not one OF
the seventy-three beet sugar factories
operated in sixteen different States would
turn a wheel next season. save where
compelled to do so because OF existing
contracts with farmers. The claim that
this measure will reduce the cost Of sugar
to consumers by a cent and a half a
pound is absurd. as the effective duty to-
day is less than that

SILK WORKERS TO RETURN.
weayers at Paterson Expected 10
Go to Work To-day.

Paterson. n. J., March 3.-Unless an
unexpected hitch arises. more than half
of the 500 striking bread silk weavers
should be back at their looms tomorrow
morning. The remaining workers are ex-
Cected back by Tuesday morning.
The strike was practically brought to
close last night, when the weavers de-
cided TO waive their demand that the
manufacturers sign schedules with the
union seal thereon. The mill owners had
previously agreed to grant the increased
wages, but they would not stand for reg
ulation Of the labor organization behind
the strike. Since this action many mill
operatives have come forward and signed
the schedule.
In large number OF instances the shop
committees have been instructed to take
up the matter with their employers early
Monday morning, and it is expected that
soon after agreements have been rached
the strikers will return to work.
