DEALERS' ASSOCIATION MEETS
Local Retailers Reach Decision on Price of Re-
prints at Monthly Session—Making Live
Plans for Future Organization Work
The regular monthly meeting of the Music
Dealers' Association of New York was held on
Thursday evening, April 19, at 100 West 116th
street. The meeting was opened by a short
address by Theodore Arison, president of the
association, which was followed by a general
discussion of the necessity of having a standard
price on reprints, resulting in a decision after
a vote had been taken of making the price of
reprints one-half off to the general public and
one-half and twenty off to the profession.
The meeting was quite an enthusiastic one,
and from the reports of the committees the
organization is making great progress. It was
decided by the officers of the association to hold
an executive session shortly after which they
will decide on some future moves that will have
far reaching effects on the policy of the body.

royalties provided by law for mechanical re-
production are paid on former sales of records.
It is charged that the defendant company,
the Indestructible Phonographic Record Co.,
has, for the past six years, been making cylinder
talking machine records and distributing them
to the public throughout various mail order
concerns, and has not made proper royalty
statements to the music publishers. It is in-
timated that other publishers will follow the
Feist house in taking action.
Further details regarding the case will be
found in another section of The Review.

PUBLISHERS FAVOR USE OF STAMPS
In Agreements With Music Roll Manufactur-
ers, Members of Trade Appear Insistent
Upon Adoption of Royalty Stamps on Rolls
Although the music publishers and music roll
manufacturers were unable to reach a formal
agreement regarding the use of song words on
music rolls it is apparent that the publishers
for the most part are much in favor of the use
of royalty stamps, and in their agreements with
the roll manufacturers as individuals are quite
insistent on that point. Moreover, there are
quite a number of publishers who are not in-
clined to release their word rights with any de-
gree of freedom, even at the royalty rates upon
which the majority of them were agreed. In
short, the necessity for individual dickering has
apparently worked to the disadvantage of both
interests.
