WASHINGTON, D. C, January 9.—Amendment of
the existing copyright law, so as to permit the
United States to enter the International Copy-
right Union, is provided for in a bill which has
been introduced in Congress by Representative
Davis of Tennessee. The Davis bill would place
the United States in the first class of the coun-
tries who are members of the Union, as pro-
vided in article 23 of the convention signed at
Berlin on November 13, 1908.
Under the terms of the measure, on and after
the date of the President's proclamation that
the United States has joined the Union, foreign
authors not domiciled in the United States who
are citizens or subjects of any country which
is a member of the Union, or whose works arc
first published in and enjoy copyright protection
in any sucli country, shall have within the
United States, for the term of copyright pro-
vided by law, including the right of renewal,
and beginning upon the date of the proclama-
tion, for all of their works in which copyright
is subsisting at that date and for all of their
works first published thereafter from such date
of publication, the same rights and remedies in
regard to their works as are enjoyed by Ame r i-
can citizens. The Supreme Court is authorized
to prescribe such additional rules and regula-
tions as may be necessary.
