ROYALTY DECISION ISSUED
NEW OLIVER DITSON CO. RELEASES
Judge Hand Gives Opinion in the Case of the
Consolidated Music Corp.
Latest
Releases Include Standard Selections,
Sacred Songs and Folk Songs
A decision in the case of the Consolidated
Music Corp. was filed by Judge Augustus N.
Hand in the United States District Court in
which he declared that the fixing of uniform roy-
alties on songs and on music rolls of those songs
tends toward the elimination of competition and
restrains trade with the music roll manufacturers
who purchase the songs. He further stated that
if the publishers in question and concerned in the
action continue to combine to fix royalties and
require that the music roll manufacturers pur-
chase approximately two-thirds of their songs
an injunction should issue.
The Oliver Ditson Co., of Boston, has just re-
leased a number of new standard selections and
folk songs for the piano. These include: "From
