REVIEW
taken up to a considerable extent with discussions
and talks on various subjects, the drift of them
being toward the question of copyright. Walter
Eastman, manager of the New York and Toronto
branches of Chappell & Co., Ltd., read an inter-
esting paper on the new British copyright bill,
which becomes effective on July 1, 1912.
Mr. Eastman carefully reviewed the conditions
leading up to the drafting of the new act, the
necessity of such a measure if Great Britain were
to remain a member of the Copyright Union, and
pointed out the various features of the new act
that were not just what could be desired by the
music publishers, such as the remedies provided
for the protection of copyright and the compul-
sory license clause, secured by the manufacturers
of mechanical musical instruments after tremen-
dous efforts. He also called attention to the im-
portant rules now being made by the Board of
Trade re the reproduction of a work upon pay-
ment of royalties after the expiration of twenty-
five years from the death of the author and also
the compulsory license clause. It is expected that
the new rules will be made public before the act
goes into effect on July 1.
"As a result of the unanimous decision arrived
at during the Colonial Copyright Conference of
1910, it is believed that the self-governing domin-
ions will either adopt the new act or an act similar
to it," said Mr. Eastman. "There is now a new
Australian copyright act before the Commonwealth
Parliament, and it is understood that the new
Canadian copyright act will be brought up again
this fall."
In connection with his address, Mr. Eastman
quoted the various clauses of the new British
copyright act that referred especially to the con-
ditions governing the copyright on music.
Addresses were also made by George W. Fur-
niss, of the Oliver Ditson Co., and Walter M.
Bacon, of the White-Smith Music Publishing Co.
At the closing session, also, all the officers were
re-elected, as follows: President, J. L. Tindale,
of G. Schirmer; vice-president, E. S. Cragin, of
C. H. Ditson & Co.; secretary, Walter S. Fischer,
of Carl Fischer, New York; treasurer, E. T. Paull;
directors, Walter M. Bacon, of White-Smith Music
Publishing Co.; Geo. W. Furniss, of Oliver Ditson
Co.; Lawrence B. Ellert, of B. F. Wood Music-
Co.; H. P. Main, of Bigelow & Main Co.; J. F.
Bowers, of Lyon & Healy; Hamilton S. Gordon
and J. P. Rechten, of Edw. Schuberth & Co.
At the close of the first session the members of
the association enjoyed an informal luncheon in
the Yacht Room of the Astor, where business was
forgotten for the time at least.
Those present included: Emil Ascher, New
York; H. P. Main, Bigelow & Main, New York;
M. Keane, Boosey & Co., New York; Walter
Eastman and J. R. Elliott, Chappell & Co., New
York; E. S. Cragin and J. M. Priaux, C. H. Dit-

ARE YOU A ROCKING- HAIR?
Is there a whole lot of
MOTION in YOUR business, yet
little GROUND COVERED? That
is, for every FORWARD move-
ment, do you SLIDE BACK just
as far? That's the way some
songs are. You sell a
thousand copies in a single
day, then it takes you a
thousand days to sell a
single copy! Once in every
hundred years a steady,
consistent seller appears
on the business horizon.
"YOUR DADDY DID THE SAME
THING FIFTY YEARS AGO"
There won't be another song
like it,'till TWENTY-TWELVE!
Sell it now, while it is
still a howling infant!
