AGREEMENT LIKELY
ON BROADCAST MUSIC
Copyright Owners May Be Given
25 Per Cent Increase
in Fees.

After being deadlocked apparently be-
yond hope in negotiations for settle
ment of their differences over the sums
radio should pay for performing copy
righted music, organized broadcasters
and copyright owners reopened their
deliberations this week with new
prospects that a compromise will be
effected At the present writing it
seems probable that the compromise
will be in the nature of an increase OF
about 25 per cent in the existing scale
of fees, borne chiefly by the networks
and certain larger stations, but not
affecting the smaller stations.
The new scale, if satisfactory to the
parties involved, may go into effect
January /, 1888, to remain effective one
year. If the compromise is reached, the
yield from radio to the American So
ciety of Composers, Authors and Pub
fishers would amount to $l,25O,OOO IN
lieu of the S966000 it now derives from
broadcasters. Exactly how the increases
would be levied has not been divulged,
nor is it known whether they will be
satisfactory to all the stations con-
cerned
The society has been demanding in
creased fees on the claim that radio
has cut into its sheet music and phono-
graph record sales In its negotiations
with the National Association of Broad
casters the society fixed September l
as the deadline, beyond which. unless
an agreement is reached, it proposes to
levy a percentage from to per cent
on gross sales of commercial time on
individual stations. The percentage-of-
gross basis has been vigorously resisted
by the broadcasters, claiming the power
of one private group to tax another, like
the power of government to tax, is the
power to destroy. The broadcasters also
oppose strenuously any delving into
their books by the society.

COMMISSION PLANNING
FIELD SERVICE CHANGES
Consolidation of District Offices to
Be Made in Line With Econ
omy Program.

In line with the administrations
order that it balance its budget" the
Federal Radio Commission is planning
sweeping changes in its field organi-
zation and has dispatched a number OF
officials to make surveys of operations
away from Washington.
Consolidation of certain of the nine
district offices throughout the country
whose personnel police" the ether
and the transfer of others to more
strategic locations are considered likely.
Some two dozen of the $50 field en-
ployes-supervisorS, engineers and clerks
probably will be released within the
next two weeks in the reorganization
made necessary not only by the ad-
ministration's economy drive, but by the
legislation which abolished the Radio
Division Of the Commerce Department
and transferred its functions to the
commission.
The commission has slashed approx
mately $4,000 from its annual ex-
penditures by abolishing its investiga-
ton division and releasing Is employees
in Washington. 1t must reduce eX-
penditures for salaries in the field by
an equivalent amount.

JAZZ MUSIC IS TABOO
Only Symphonic Numbers Allowed
on Russian Radio.

OA AsOSS1clA 1Olu1O.
American jazz music is absolutely
taboo on the Russian radio, which fea-
lures four hours of symphonic music
per day by the finest orchestras in the
country. Dramatic sketches and com
edy presentations of the type SO pom
ular in America are practically non
existent. Talks by government officials
and authorities on all manner of sub
JectS take their place Radio in Russia
also signs off during the late after
noon, being silent between about 4 to
$50 pm.
These general comparisons between
Russian and American broadcasting are
made by Albert Coates, eminent Anglo
Russian conductor. who has Just re-
turned to New York to conduct the
Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra in
the LeWisohn Stadium concerts which
are broadcast twice weekly over the
Columbia network. In Russia Mr.. Coates
recently organized a new philharmonic
orchestra of l40 musicians out of the
old Moscow Philharmonic and the
Moscow radio orchestra.

Representatives Haugen of Iowa,
Purnel of Indiana and Clarke of
New York, House Republicans.
The House members may op-
pose the amendment and instead
urge legislation to permit the sale

BEWARE THE
COUGH OR COLD
THAT HANGS ON

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsifed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is q
new medical discovery with twO-fOld &C.
ton; it soothes and heals the infamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog.
.nized by high medical authorities as one
Of the greatest healing agencies for per-
sistent coughs and coldsand other forms
Ofthroat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele.
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and
Inflammation, while the creosote goes
on to the stomach, is absorbed into the
blood, attacks the seat of the trouble
and checks the growth Of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac-
tory in the treatment of persistent
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
bronchitis and other forms Of respira.
tory diseases, and is excellent for
building up the system after colds or
flu. Money refunded if any cough or
cold, no matter of how long standing,
is not relieved after taking according
to directions. Ask your druggist. (adv.)
