THE MUSIC TRADE REVIEW
CONDUCTED BY V. D. WALSH
TO ADJUDICATE ANY DIFFERENCES
Publishers' Association Offers to Settle Any
Grievances Which Composers May Have—
Goes on Record as Being Committed to the
"Square Deal" Policy for All Concerned
The Music Publishers' Protective Association,
of which E. C. Mills is chairman of the execu-
tive board, in giving consideration to the recently
formed organization of song writers, known as
the Authors' and Composers' Protective Asso-
ciation, passed the following resolution at the
general meeting of the Association held on
November 23. It is herewith reproduced:
Whereas, it has come to the notice of this
Association, through the trade press, that an
organization has been formed, or that it is pro-
posed that an organization be formed, of authors
and composers; and
Whereas, it has been stated in the press that
one of the purposes of this proposed organiza-
tion will be to rectify and remedy injustices
alleged to be at present perpetrated upon such
authors and composers by publishers; and
Whereas, this Association and its members
are committed, individually and collectively,
absolutely and in their every relationship to the
"square deal," now therefore
Be it resolved: That any and every author and
composer having a real or fancied grievance, or
deeming himself to be unjustly or unfairly
treated, or claiming to have been or now being
deprived of any just rights by any member of
this Association, is invited to present his griev-
ance or complaint, either in person or in writing,
to the chairman of the executive board of this
Association; and the same shall be brought im-
mediately before the Association for action; and
the individual members of the Association shall
be governed by such adjudication as shall be
made of each and every such complaint brought
before it.
Mr. Mills further states that it is desired that
wide publicity be given the fact of adoption
of the above resolution, and that it be known
that in good faith it is the intention and desire
of the Association that the relationship of its
members with authors and composers, and with
all others, be characterized in every case by fair,
just and considerate treatment.
