LOS ANGELES, June 3.-Speak-
ing of arketing, it is more than
coincidence that all perishable com
modities are marketed through cen
tral agencies in or near the great
centers of population. The dis
tance from the point of production
to the populated sections merely
changes the factor of transporta-
ton cost, and not the principle of
marketing. Shipping our fruits,
vegetables and meat to central
sales agencies saves the consumer
and the industry the cost Of going
to the many places of production
and makes competition in selling.
Not many years ago our citrus
crop was largely marketed through
middlemen and spectators who
went to the grove and bargained
or the crop at practically their
own prices, selecting and taking
only the best fruit. They had no
interest in improving conditions
but merely to gather the crop and
merchandise it to their advantage.
The result was that the growing of
fruits and vegetables was unprofit-
able; but when we began to get
proper railroad transportation IRE
frigerator cars) the producers found
way out to the consuming cen
ters of the east, and that fact
made the difference between profit
and loss to the grower; that is
sending the product to central agen-
cies at consuming centers, there to

and that they be en:oined from fur

DAMAGE SUIT
TO WASHINGTON
Texas Girl Causes Filing
Of Plea Fought All
Way for $3.50

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1l-LF)-On
a pleasant night in October. 1928.
patrons Of the Rex theater in Plain
view, Texas, heard as they watched
on the Greer the tribulations OF
a heroine, the plaintive strains Of
In q Little Spanish Town" coming
from q player piano.
The patrons did not know, and
probably some Of them still are
unaware that along with the music
the player piano was grinding out
a damage suit which could come
all the way to the supreme court
before 1t was finally disposed Of.
A girl, who paid more attention
to the piano, than she did the
picture, was in the audience and
when she heard the well known
melody with its refrain Twas on a
night like this" she made q note
Of the fact. This was in turn re-
ported 70 Gene Buck, president of
the American Society Of Composers,
Authors and Publishers, and Leo
Feist, Inc, publisher of the song.
They sued Oskar Korn, owner OF
the theater, for infringement Of
copyright music and asked damages
or $3.50.
After lengthy arguments involv-
ing the copyright laws and ques-
tons OF law and equity. Korn lost
in q United States district court
He appealed and lost again In the
fifth circuit court Of appeals.
A case, almost identical with the
first, also was brought against him
The two cases were decided toge-
ther by the court Of appeals and II
each Korn was assessed $3.50 and
attorneys fees of 500.
Still unconvinced, he has appealed
90 the supreme court for a review.
The court will decide shortly
whether 1t will pass upon the APP
peal and thus rule on whether mo-
ton picture theaters violate the
Law In playing copyrighted music
rolls without obtaining permission
from the copyright owners.
