MILWAUKKK, Wis., August 18.—That many en-
tertainers in cafes, dance halls and broadcast-
ing stations of Wisconsin are unaware of the
provisions of the copyright law which demands
payment of royalties to publishers for use of
copyrighted music, is the belief expressed by
Attorney Leo Heilbron, who lias filed three
copyright infringement suits in the Federal
court here. Attorney Heilbron states that ap-
proximately 200 purveyors of music in the State
are now paying royalties, but that further suits
against those who are violating the law will
probably be started if the present ones are suc-
cessful.
Leo Feist, Inc., is plaintiff in two of the suits
charging the Goodrich Transit Co., and Ross F.
Wright, proprietor of the Grasshopper dance
pavilion, at Sturgeon Bay, Wis., with unwar-
ranted use of "Honest and Truly," by Fred
Rose. Irving Berlin, Inc., is plaintiff in the
third suit against E. Conzclmann, proprietor of
the Terrace Gardens, at Appleton, for unwar-
ranted use of Irving Berlin's "All Alone."
Increased Paper Tariff May

Century Music Publishing Co. Calls Attention
of Trade to Efforts Made to Increase Import
Duties on High-class Paper
The Century Music Publishing Co. has ap-
prised its dealers of the move on foot to have
the Government increase the tariff on imported
paper, which it is stated will have a materiaj
effect on the price of the silk kraft paper used
in the Century Edition. The company states
that it has anticipated any increased price
by ordering stocks for some months in ad-
vance, and urges that stock orders be sent in
at once in order that the dealer may be fully
protected as to price in any eventuality in the
future.
