FEIST SUES RECORD COMPANIES
Music Publishers Bring Six Suits Against the
Columbia Graphophone Co. and the Victor
Talking Machine Co. in Effort to Collect
Royalties on Records Sold in Canada
Leo Feist, Inc., have filed six suits against the
larger mechanical reproduction companies.
Three of these suits are against the Columbia
,Graphophone Co. and three have been filed
against the Victor Talking Machine Co. These
suits have been filed to recover royalties on the
sales of talking machine records sold in the
Dominion of Canada, and are based upon a de-
cision handed down by the Appellate Division
of the Supreme Court, which decided in a pre-
vious suit brought by the Feist concern against
the Columbia Co. that the reproducing .com-
panies must pay a royalty on all records sold
in Canada, the masters of which were made in
the United States.
Against the Columbia Co. the suits are as fol-
lows: One in the Municipal Court in connec-
tion with the song "Alabama Lullaby," one in
the' City Court on the songs "Hail, Hail, the
Gang's All Here," "Homeward Bound," "I Don't
Want to Get Well," and "In the Land of Wed-
ding Bells," one in the Supreme Court on the
songs "The Navy Will Bring Them Back," and
"Mother, Here's Your Boy." Against the Victor
Talking Machine Co. all three suits are brought
in the Municipal Court and are in connection
with the songs "It's a Long Way to Berlin,"
"Ja Da," and "Everything Is Peaches Down in
Georgia." The Columbia Co. has made applica-
tion to have its cases transferred to the Federal
courts.
The Sirhona Music Co., Cleveland, O., has been
incorporated in that city with a capital of $2,000.
The incorporators are A. W. Simon, M. G. Hind-
ley, R. L. White, Tulna A. White and Charlotte
C. Simon.
