RATIFYING COMPROMISE AGREEMENT.
A special meeting—the most important since
the formation of the Words and Music Club, was
held at The Hermitage on Tuesday evening at
9 p. m. The object of the gathering was to
ratify the agreement reached between the
mechanical concerns and the song-writers. Every-
body present signed the agreement. Harry Will-
iams was chairman, and there was a large attend-
ance.
