law, he stated that Congress had created a new
vested property right, and for that concession
they felt entitled to impose conditions. The
publishers evidently at present feel that some
of these conditions are objectionable.
It was decided by those present, following
the advice of George W. Pound, not to take any
drastic measures in their efforts to have the
copyright law changed, to receive all views from
all interested sources and to work for an ob-
ject that will be for the common good.
The following were appointed members of a
committee to confer on a new copyright law and
to get the views of the entire publishing trade
as well as the mechanical reproduction interests:
George W. Pound, Walter Fischer and Isidore
Witmark.
The meeting, in addition to being well at-
tended, was one of the most gratifying ever held
in the history of the organization. The order
of business was carried out with smoothness and
dispatch and the absence of the minutest con-
troversy was commented upon.
