UNUSUAL ACTIVITY
IN LEGION RANKS

The greatest year in membership the
American Legion has ever known with
goal Of a million members is the
plan of Legion leaders for 1925 that
seems likely of realization.
Unprecedented pre-January member
ship activity is 1aring up In all parts
of the country in response to Comman-
der John r. McQuigg's slogan, Start
1926 with 1925 strength"
Membership contests, derbies, races
and battles are raging between posts,
departments and cities at pace that
portends that by the first of the year
the flame of membership activity will
be sweeping the entire country.
"We want to reach the million mark
this year and present competition, evil
dencing itself in lively contests be-
tween departments and posts, indicates
that a million members will be en-
rolled before the year is done" So
declared Frank 3. Samuel, national
director of organization and member
ship, in summing up membership pros
poets for the year.
Minnesota and Michigan we're first
off in a series Of inter-departmental
contests that are expected to do much
to boost the membership. The Goph-
ers challenged the Wolverines to q
contest to enroll more paid-up MEM
hers for the year 1926 by December
81, 1926 The challenge was immedi-
ately accepted by Michigan.
Iowa and Ohio, departments that
have long glared at each other when
the subject of membership is men
toned, have closed in membership
battle. These scrapping departments
are going to settle their dispute by
December 81. 1925.
An innovation in membership con-
tests was introduced by the depart
ment Of Illinois for the year 1925 in
their "City Membership Derby" now
under way Forty-two cities are en-
tered in a great ntra-departmental
membership race. The plan of the
city derby is to place cities of the
same approximate population in mem
bership competition.
On November l, 1879, Illinois nau
more than 1000 paid-up members for
1925, leading the Legion in that re-
spect.
The irrepressible department of
Florida has hurled challenge that as
yet has not been accepted The def
of Florida is: ''The Florida depart
ment challenges any and all depart
ments having five thousand members
or more to any kind Of a membership
contest. Also any department to have
as many 100 per cent posts compared
to the number Of posts in the depart
ment. We will accept any kind of
fair rules and win put up any kind
of a prize"
The departments of New York and
PENNSYLVANIA have both accepted a
challenge to do membership battle
with Illinois. Illinois hopes to down
two big birds with one stone in this
contest.
South Carolina and Mississippi are
sparring with each other to arrange
terms for membership war.

COPYRIGHT CHANGES
Would Have Law Extended to
Cover Reproduction of
Music by Radio.

Almost unanimous approval OF Il
resolution favoring the extension OF
the provisions of the copyright law
for reproduction of music by mechanl-
cal means to include music reproduced
by radio is expected from the broad
casters of the country, it was under
stood here yesterday.
AT its recent meeting the National
Association of BruadcasterS, whose
membership has grown considerably
in the past year. adopted a resolution
embodying this proposal and submit
ted it to every station in the United
States, including non-members of the
association. So far no opposition has
been made to the resolution and many
Of the non-nemberS have been qu1ck
to voice their approval.
This position of the broadcasters
virtually reverseS their earlier stand
on the copyright question when it was
argued that the present law was not
to be considered applicable 10 radio
broadcasting. This change of atti-
tude is in the nature Of compromise
with the music publishers, whom the
broadcasters bitterly opposed when
radio entered the first period of its
popularity.
Although decryins the publishers
demands for what are said to be "ex-
orbitant" fees for the privilege of
broadcasting music copyrights of
which are held by them, the broad
casters recently explained in issuing
their resolution that the National
Association of Broadcasters is desir-
Gus of adequately rewarding not only
the consignee to the title of the mu-
sic but the music writer's them
selves"
When the full vote on the resolu-
ton has been received by the associa-
ton it is understood that officials of
the organization plan to introduce the
question with their recommendations
to the fourth annual radio conference.
