FUTILE LITIGATION IN TRADE
Suits Penoing in Fall Terms Altogether Too
Many-Trade. Has Arbitration Board at Its
Disposal but Fails to Use It
~o less than fiv e suit s between mu sic pub
li shers in so me cases and composers a nd pub
lishers in ot hers are now in the hands of the
co urt s for adjudication. This i~ pr obab ly th e
greatest nu mb er of su ch s uits a,vaiting decision
in anyo ne court pe ri od.
The pro babiliti es ar e t hat some of th ese cas es
wi ll be thrown ou t of the COllrts altogether when
th e September terms open. In other cases th ey
wi ll be pro lon ge d for weeks o r months by th e
energet ic efforts of the contes ta nts and their
attorneys for a decision.
The point, h owev er, that is well wo rth con
si derin g by everyo ne in the m usic publishing
busines<; is that m ost of the cases w ill be futile.

The r esults will not justify the expenditures
nor the ha rd feelings that wi ll follow such con
tests. The history of all suc h cases during th e
past de ca.de shows that the ma jority of such
su its on ly involve attorney and court expe nse s
fo r all partie s.
The Music Publishers' Protective Association
has done much to eradicate the evils of plagia
rism. It has also discouraged such su its where
ever poss ible, bu t a fair amo unt of legal action
of th is caliber continues to land in the courts.
Pro-ba b ly it win co ntinue to do so, until the ex
penses incurred dem onstrate to such contestants
the advisability of taking ad vantage of the board
of a. bitratio n of the Music Publishers ' Protec
tive Assoc iation , thu s el imi nating the expenses
a nd the ha rd feelings that necessarily follow
what are in man y cases unadvisable and useless
actions.
