Appeals Bench Bors
Separate Registration
Fee for Each Sheet

IN an opinion considered Of far
reaching importance to the news
paper and publishing industries. the
United States Court OF Appeals
today decided that the register Of
copyrights lacks discretion to ac-
eept or reject copyrights if the mat
ter in proper order is printed in the
United States and copyright no
tice is embodied in the publication.
The effect of the decision, as
interpreted by attorneys interested.
is that serials. comic strips and
other features may be copyrighted
in book form, instead of having to
pay a 81 registration fee for each
sheet. This is the first case of its
kind in the court here, authorities
said.
In the case the appellate court
effirmed decision by District Court
Justice Jennings Bailey that Twen-
tieth Century-Foy Film Corp. is
entitled to mandamlLs against
Clement L. Bouve, the register of
copyrights.
The mandamus was sought TO Sc
cure a copyright certificate for a
book in which the motion picture
In Old Chicago was serialized for
newspaper publication The regis
ter had held that the publication
was not book. but compilation
of contributions and that each sheet
should be registered separately with
50 fee.
Todays case was heard by Chief
Justice D. Lawrence Groner and
Associate Justices Fred M. Vinson
and Justin Miller. In an opinion
written by the latter. the court OBJ
served that the important consid-
Grafton in the mind of the register
seems to be the number of fees
which he was entitled to collect"
but added that this does not seem
to have been an important legis-
lative consideration.
Continuing, the court said:
I'VE see no reason to assume a
requirement of separate registration.
as applied to the facts of the present
case, merely because the book which
was deposited revealed on its face
that the material was to be used In
serialized form Many books are
republished as serials and no reason
appears for penalizing publisher on
account of his foresight in antici-
pating such republication. 1t might
as we'll be contended that separating
a book into chapter should require
separate registration of each
1T is impossible even to find a
plausible basis for the registers posi-
tion upon practical considerations,
apart from increased fees Certainly
the convenience and expedition of
the work of his Office will not be
promoted by making 20 registra tions
and issuing 20 certificates where one
would accomplish the same purpose.
Moreover, notice to the world and
convenience to other writer's would
be better accomplished in such
case by single deposit and single
registration"

Farmers Net Millions
In Profits on Stored
Wheat and Cotton
'Ever-NormoI Gronory'
Crop Loon Program
Is Responsible
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Recent sharp advances in COM
modify prices have put millions Of
extra dollars into the pockets of
farmers who stored 1910 cotton and
wheat under the Agriculture Depart
ments "ever-normal granary" crop
program.
Designed to assure ample reserves
for the country and stable prices for
farmers, this program permits grow
ers to store crops under Government
loans with the privilege of redeem
ing them and selling them in the
market should prices advance above
loan rates.
Taking advantage of the program,
farmers placed 3,163.000 bales of
cotton and 278,OOO,OO0 bushels of
wheat from last years crops under
Government loans, which averaged
about 93 cents pound for cotton
and 65 cents a bushel for wheat.
These farmers have been able to
cash in on tidy profits as a result
of recent price advances. With cot
ton selling around II cents pound
at New York and wheat at close to
a dollar a bushel at Chicago, grow
ers could redeem loan commodities
and sell at the higher prices.
Agriculture Department oficials
said that on the basis of current
prices, loan cotton was bringing from
$40 to $40 a bale above the redemp-
ton cost, depending on staple
lengths.
Wheat, likewise, was said to be
bringing from 10 to 20 cents bushel
above the redemption cost.
Officials said that about 1850. 900
Of the 3.l63, 900 bales of 1910 cotton
stored under loans had been re-
deemed. They estimated that ap-
proximately 100000 bushels Of
the 1910 loan wheat also had been
redeemed.
The recent price advances were
attributed by officials to trade specu-
lation over the possibility that Gov
ernment loans on 1941 crops would
be made at much higher rates.
The loan rates tend to set mini
mum market prices. Farmers would
be reluctant to sell if they could get
more through Government loans.

Southern Railway Revenue
Rising, Debt Improved

BY the associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, May 21.-In-
creasing revenues and substantial
improvement in the company's debt
were raported yesterday at the an
nual meeting of the Southern Rail
way stockholders.
Ernest E. Norris of Washington,
president of the road asserted, how
ever, that provisions of the coal
miners new contracts would boost
the railways fuel bill by $l,250, 900
year and that on the basis Of
figures for the first quarter the COM
pany's taxes this year would in
crease approximately $4,000, 900 to
s12,0G0,0O0.
Although advising the stockhold-
ers that much of the increased traffic
was attributed to the national de-
fense program and therefore could
not be regarded as of a permanent
character. Mr.. Norris said the line
had placed orders for $4,000 900
worth of new equipment on which
payments at the rate of $1,000 900
year would begin in 1912. This
equipment. including 1000 addi-
tional freight cars, should prepare
the road TO handle "the traffic that
is offered US the president said.

ken, OF New York, and John K.
Ottley Of Atlanta, Ga, whose terms
expire this year. were reelected to
the Board of Directors without op-
position for new terms of three
years. More than 1,275,0O0 shares of
stock, representing nearly 10 per
cent Of that outstanding. were rep
resented either in person or by

Eager for Funds, Britain
Keeps Up Exports

MONTREAL. May 81 canadian
Press A. M. Wiseman, Britains
senior trade commissioner to Cam
ada, said yesterday that If any Brit
ish export markets have to go
short, they will not be the markets
of the North American continent"
I'VE want your dollars much too
badly" he added in a service club
address.
Mr.. Wiseman said that the Brit
ish governments decision to con-
centrate production of selected con-
sumner goods in a reduced number
of factories should facilitate rather
than retard Britains export trade.
The system of concentrating pro-
duction. he said, was evolved be-
cause consumption of non-essential
commodities has been curtailed and
because workers employed in pro-
ducing non essential commodities
we're needed for munitions and
other vital plants.

U. 5. Pipe Chief Acquires
Stock EXCHANGE Seat

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. MAY 71.-Norrnan
r. S. Russell. president of the United
States Pipe & Foundry Co, has pur-
chased a seat in the New York Stock
Exchange for s2l 900, it became
known last night.
He is one of the few industrialists
who have bought seats in the ex-
change 1t was believed that he
acquired the seat for his son, who
is in college.
Robert L. Coleman, ir.. a San
Francisco broker, also has bought a
seat for s21 900 1t is thought that
this will be the first in a series of
purchases of membership in the New
York Stock Exchange by West Coast
brokers. In this way Pacific Coast
brokers can eliminate the "over-
riding charge"
A non-member OF the stock ex-
change cannot collect a brokers
commission even though the business
originates with him. The full COM
mission goes to the member firm and
the originator collects a IS over
riding charge on the customer.

New Steel Orders
Declining, but Still
Exceed Shipments
Except for Defense
Work, Mills Rejecting
Many Requests
BY the Associated Press.

oy tnc hSSOCldIeQ SEeSs.
NEW YORK, May 21-New steel
orders in the aggregate have been
declining, but they are still greater
in volume than shipments. Iron Age
said today in its weekly survey.
Except for defense work. mills are
placing restrictions on orders and
are turning down "a great many"
Mandatory priorities for plates
and shapes" the survey continued,
probably will be next in line in the
tightening control over steel sup
plies by Government agencies.
Many Of the steel companies are
no longer opposed to such action,
since 1t is seen as the only way in
which deliveries can be speeded up
to take care of vital defense projects.
ALLEGATIONS for Ships.
"An already tight situation in
plates will be further complicated by
the ALLEGATION this week of 10000
tons for ships. which will be dis
tributed to all producers on the basis
Of mill capacity. On top of this
there will probably come soon an
ALLEGATION of at least 100000 tons for
railroad equipment. a situation that
is now being closely studied in
Washington. Pressure for ship steel
has been intensified. Steel for cars
may also be given urgent preference
ratings.
The virtual communicating Of
ship tankers has created a sudden
need for pipe lines to carry petro-
leum products to seaboard. About
l56,000 tons Of pipe has been allo-
Gated for two lines, one to be built
from Baton Rouge, La, to Green's
boro, N c.. and Atlanta. Ga. ani
the other from Portland, Me, to
Montreal, Quebec.
These new projects are being
superimposed on commitments which
had already usurped practically all
of the steel that the mills can pro-
duce this year and beyond. In this
situation the steel companies have
come to the realization that the de-
cision as to what is essential and
what is non-essential must be made
at Washington and not by the in
dividual producers.
Orders for Shell Rounds.
Shell steel orders will now begin
to flow more freely. It is reported
in Chicago that 100000 tons of shell
rounds will be awarded in that dis
trict alone for just one size shell.
Recovering the ground lost in the
April coal strike. the steel industry
is now back to the 100 per cent rate
of late March, but another shut
down of Southern coal mines would
produce a setback of more serious
consequences, as coal, coke, scrap
and raw steel reserves nave been
depleted.
The scrap composite remains at
s1s.17."
