The question of printing prices on sheet music.
in excess of the actual retail selling prices
came up for di s'cllssion last week at a special
hearing held by the Federal Trade Commission
in the headquart ers of the Music Industrie s
Chal11ber of Commerce, New York, with Com­
missi~jier .Van Fleet presiding. The session
was h~ld -3>t the request of the ~u s ic Publishers
of the Unit ed States and was attended by a
majority of the members of that Association
as well as by several outside music publisher s
from the trade.
The conference was w~la t IS known as "trade
practi ce submittal," d esig ned to permit of a dis­
cussion of disputes and ' di ffere nces of opinion
within a trade reg-arding the desirability or un­
d esirability of certain prac tices a nd cu stom s .
The Federal Trade Commission is empowered
to render a dec ision based upon the fact s
gleaned at th e hearing, which has the same
effect as any othpr ruling of the Commission
and is calcldatecl to eliminate chances for liti­
gation,
The Conllliission's deci sion 011 the qucqion of
printing prices on sheet music will probably
not be handed down for some time, but it is
eage rly a,vaited as offe ring a settlement of thi s
question, which has bee n in di sp ute for some
time.
