royalty Blues Hit
Tinpan Alley; Song
Writers Walk Out
Publishers Fight Music
Strike of Melody Boys
by Bringing Out Tunes
Long in Cold Storage

The writers of popular jazz are hav-
ing a dissonance party of their own.
They would rather you did not call it
strike, but are willing to admit that
there are tangled chords and wailing
minor notes in their ranks. The
trouble resolves itself into question
of royalties and percentages. me au-
thors of "Oh. What Pal Was Mary
"Margic," bright Eyes" Hawaiian
Blues" and score of hits, have the
ROYALTY blues. They are out on Broad
way with their wares going begging
while Henry Waterson. head of the
music firm of Waterson, Berlin Sny-
der. is digging deep into trunkfuls OF
old songs and the free lance song
writer and composer are looking Tor
golden days.
The trouble started when the fifty
odd song writer's of the leading music
publishing houses here organized the
romnosers and Lyric Writers Protec-
tive League. With the true spirit Oh
unionism, they demanded a minimum
three-cent royalty on their producI, oo
per cent OIL CuS lHcSh o'''SAN
and statements rendered quarterly
direct from the photograph record
firms. While many publishers have
been paying 3 cents on sheet music,
the mechanical percentage has always
been stumbling block.
Mr.. Waterson has been paying 6o
per cent on mechanical music. but has
sought to reduce the royalties on sheet
music. He called his song writer's to-
gether and asked them to sign con-
tract on the 2-cent basis. They baked.
He said he could get along without
them.
Otto Motzen, Con Conrad, Bert Kali
mar. Harry Ruby, Benny Davis, J. Rus
sci Robinson Roy Turk. NJ. X. Jerome
and Fred Albert got out. They have
been responsible for some Of the big
gest song hits Of recent years.
Several meetings have been held be-
tween the directors of the Music Pub
fishers Protective Association and the
Composers and Lyric Writers Protec-
tive League. but no compromise has
been reached. The deadlock threatens
to extend over half a dozen of the
leading music publishing firms.
Show music is not affected to any ex-
tent Members of the firm of Water
son, Berlin & Snyder said yesterday
that even if none of their song writers
return they have enough popular music
still unused to carry on for years. They
claim that since songs are going to
drop in price they cannot afford to pay
more than 2 cents royalty on a song
sold at Is cents wholesale.

power Of the old Germany before the
war, the Ambassador said, still live
and 1t was too much to except that
they be destroyed along with that
power.
"They knew they could hope for
nothing from the countries that won
the war in friendship and understand
ing" he continued, "but it made it
possible for them to drive the wedge
between these countries. They seek to
drop the seed Of suspicion within
every heart"
Sir George Eulas Foster, minister of
trade and commerce of the Dominion
Of Canada, followed the Ambassador
with discussion that ended with the
question whether the nations that
stuck together to win the war were
going to continue to stay together and
accomplish what they set out to &C
complish.
Both speakers were roundly cheered

Circus to Desert
Garden for BIG
Top Next Week
Performers and Animals
Alike Welcome Change;
Brooklyn TO Get First
View of the New Tent

This is the last week of the circus
indoors. Next Sunday the combined
Ringing and Barnum Il Bailey crcuses
will move from Madison Square Garden
to Brooklyn. There, at Fifth Avenue
and Third Street, they will give their
opening performance Of the season
under the big top.
To most of the performers and others
connected with the shows it isn't a
"circus" unless it's in n tent. Living
indoors and performing indoors are
just as unpopular with the animals as
they are with the human element Of
the circus, according to Dexter Eel
loves, press agent. A building, no
matter how large and convenient, is
uncomfortable, drafty and bound to
lack sufficient ventilation. Granting
seasonable weather, every one connect
as they begin performing in the open
air.
The tents each season are entirely
new. Those of the year before are
saved, in the event that a cyclone or
other bad storm should demolish those
of the season. Brooklyn initiates these
new tents. And there the small boy
has something on the youngster living
in Manhattan. With the circus in
tents. all sorts of odd jobs grow up
around their more or less indefinite
edges. Madison Square Garden offers
nothing in the way Of labor carrying
water for the elephant or helping to
currycomb the giraffe. The New York
small boy. with all the ingenuity in the
world, can find little except sympathy
to get him past the box Office. Brook
Ign children have the opportunity
which is common every place except in
New York, of working" their way in

pressed to-day by Professor A. o. Leu

The only way the phenomenon will

somewhat spectacular" he said. "The
VISITATION is due late in May or early
in June, but will not be apparent tc

comet returns every five and q fraction

view the parade, but n challenge to the
rest of tho community-boys from
clubs, colleges, settlements and neigh
borhood houses; Oriental boys from
Chinatown, Little ltaly's 'hlack-eyed
sons, San Juan Hills brown skinned
basketball players, and a boys band
containing 500 pieces. There will be
groups on roller skates, wrestlers and
gymnasts, newsboys carrying papers,
bootblacks with their kits and messen-
ger boys in uniform.
The enid Health Organization will
have special group in the parade, in
which animated vegetables, fruit, eggs
and milk, toothbrushes, soap and bath
tubs will declare their friendship for
boys. Happy" Child Health sprite,
will lead the group as jumping milk

of childhood, Tea and Coffee. Pat
Spinach, Bill Bean, Henry Pea and
Robert Onion will march abreast, fol-
lowed by Brown Bread and Butter, hand

Fifty boys will carry banners showing
the ways to get strong.
Governor Miller, Mayor Hylan and
other city officials will review the pa
rade from q stand at Madison Square
in company with officials of the or
CARNATIONS cooperating. 1t is expected
that the parade will require five hours
to pass the reviewing stand, and that
all Office boys in the city will have to
be given an afternoon off.

Although the President declared unreservedly against the existing League of Nations he spoke for en- agreements under the existing peace treaty with explicit reservations and notifications"
 "The wiser course would seem to be-" the President said, ito engage under the existing treaty, assuming of course, that this can be satisfac- toritly accomplished, by such ex plicit reservations and notifications as will secure our absolute freedom of inadvisable commitments and safeguard all of our essential inter- ests.
