Philodelphio Coin
Machine Ops Assn.
By HARRY BORTNICK
The Philadelphia Coin Machine Op-
erators' Association gained official rec-
ognition as a legal busin essmen's or-
gan ization recently when the Common
Pleas Court Number Four of Philadel-
phia granted the group a Charter of
Incorporation. The Charter legally en-
titles the Association to officers and rec-
ognizes its business methods as legal.
This important decision was handed
down by the Court May 28, climaxing a
long struggle by the amusement ma-
chine operators in this area for legal
and official recognition. The judges
agreed in their ruling that pinball
games are legal machines which are
intended for the amu sement of players.
The p lea for a charter by the Phila-
de lphia Association was originally re-
que sted two and one-half years ago.
At that time it was opposed by the po-
lice department and Mayor S. Davis
Wilson, thus initiating the litigation
which was completed this week by a
complete vindication of the attitude a s-
s umed by the Association. The group
has maintained at all times that the
games are for amusement.
Immediately after the C harter was
g ranted coin machine distributors of the
Philadelphia area held a special meet-
ing, a t which time it was decided to
send congratulations to the Philadel-
phia Association for its part in gaining
added respect from the public for the
entire indu stry a s well as recognition
from the courts and civic authorities.
A second court ruling which benefits

amu sement machin e operators is the
verdict recently returned by the New
Jersey Superior Court stating that a pin-
ball game is not a gambling instrument
unless it is u sed for that purpose.
It supported the stand of the Southern
Jersey Amusement Machine Operators'
Association that gambling must be
proved upon a machin e before the po-
lice could fine the owner. The Court
therefore reversed the fin e imposed
upon a location own er for possession of
a machine.
Congratulations have poured in upon
executives of the local Association prais-
ing them for h elping to place the indus-
try upon a firm foundation . Extending
his congratulations, Irvin Blumenfeld ,
president of the newly formed Mary-
land Operators' Association, and Harry
Rosenb erg, secretary, visited the local
Association recently.
The two men held a confe rence with
the execu tives of the Philade lphia Asso-
ciation and were given copies of all of
the rules a nd regulations of the group
to aid them in carrying on the building
of their own organization.
