AUTHORS SEEK NEW COPYRIGHT BILLS Writers in Denmark Alter Re- vised Law lor Protection Oopenhagen, July 28.—~A new copy- right bill {s to ba introduced by the Danish government. The present copyright act gives to an author and dramatist unlimited rights in his own production during lifetime, and to his descendants unlimited rights until 50 years aftar his death, Thereafter the rights are “free,” and a publisher or theatrical manager can respectively publish or produce his works withou! paying any author's fees. . On behalf of its members, the Dan- ish authors’ associution has been ag- itating for a revision of the copyright aet. It insinuates that publishers and theatrical managers republish and make use of the works of authors who dled more than 50 years ago be- cause no royalties are involved, Thuy the dead authors and playwrights are, they eay, being Leed in unfair com- petition against living authors and dramatists. Rights Are Unlimited. The aseociation demands that an or- sanizaticn of living authors and dra- matists, and not the state, control the works of dead colleagues after the ex- riration of the 50-year period that the rights should not then become free, and that it be empowered to decide to whom rovalties be distributed. According to the Danish press the authors huve succeeded in making the governmer.t see their point of view, und Mr. Appel, Minister of Educa- tion, has requeeted representatives of assoclations of authors, dramatists, composers and artists to become mem- bers of a joint committee to work out 8 bill to be put betore the Rigsdag. Danith organizations are said to be werking fointly in this matter with their colleagues in Norway and Swe- den, and similar bills are likely to be introduced in these countries. ON BULL FIGHTING Future of Sport in Mexico is in Doubt With Many in Favor and Many Opposed. Mexico City, July 28.—The future of bullfighting in Mexico is not as cer- tain as its most ardent devotees would wish as the result of a series of news- paper and other attacks against it as the national sport. Protests that the spectacles “barbarous and uncivilized” have been frequently expressed by con- tributors to local newspapers and the Council of Culture and Arts recently engaged in heated debate over their are NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1022, & o — ~ continuation, At tho lest sesslon of congress a bill was introduced in the lower house asking for the abolition of bullfights but it was pigeon-holed and@ never came up for discussion. Assuranos is given, however, that.the bill will be revived at the next mes- slon of congress opening in Beptem- ber with absoluta certainty that it will be called up for debate. Beveral clubs and socleties In Mex- fco City have gone on record as op- posed to the sport and all protest- ants are finding a ready champion in the newspaper El Universal, whose editor, Felix F. Palavicinl {8 unalter- ably against it. On the contrary, Ra- I Alducin, editor of Excelslor, {s done by the National University of one of the most enthusiastic follow- ers of the games. BEAN CROP NOT BIG ENOUGH Manchuria, Great Producing Land, Forced to S8end Out to Japan for Stock This Year, Osaka, Japan, July 28—Manchuria the great bean produclng country of the East, has been importing bean cake from Japan, more than 1,600,000 tons of this commodity, valued at | 180,000,000 yen having been shipped from Kobe and Osaka since Novem- ber last to Manchurian ports. This “sending of coals to Newcastle” arose through this year's bean crop having been overestimated. A large crop having been looked for large amounts of prepared cake were shipped out in advance orders. The crop being poor, Manchuria has had to send to Japan for bean cake for her own users. U. S. Princess AMERICA WIDE AWAKE Lord Leverhulme, English Peer, Com- pliments ‘'Yanks on Early Rising and Business Mothods, London, July 28, —American owner- ship of three-fourths of the gold In the world {s not as great an asset in competition among nutions is the Yankee habit of early rising, is the opinton of Lord Leverhulme, the Eng- lish peer who has made millions in the scap industry, In an informal address at Bolton recently the well known soap maker spoke of his recent trip to the United States wheve people, he declared, are forming hetter'habits of {industry than in England. “It I am in an Englizh Lotel,” sald Terd Leverhulme, “and in order to catch an early train, desire my break- fast at 7 o'clock, I am handed over to a night watchman who gives me some cold stuff sud to be tea, New York hotels are in full swing at that hour and I can get a good, hot breakfast in the dining room."” Lord Leverhulme also told his countrymen that in America young men do nct cousider work degrading, as do some English vouths who are assured of legacies. "It {s these Eng. lish habits which are a danger and which will count in the competition umong nations,” Lord Leverthulme asserted CHINA IS INFLUENCED Interfor of Country Now Feéeling Ef- fects of Washington Conference, Peking, July 28 (Correspondence of Assoclated Press)-—The Washington conference on limitation of armaments is beginning to {influence affairs in interior ‘China. Many tuchuns or military governors of provinces have notified the Peking government that they are ready to abandon their mili- tary power and to assist in the dis- bandment of China's 1,500,000 sol- dlers. Although the sincerity of the offer is questioned by some of the Chinese press the agitation is regarded as beneficial, because it is held the Chin- ese people are aroused by the abuses of th Tuchun system. Almost all of China's evils-civil strife economic dis- order political disunion, poverty fam- ine foreign intrigues—are attributed directly or indirectly to local autocra- tic power exercised by the provinclal governors.

LABOR BOARD, an impartial body created by Congress, says of such men : “eee phot they are not strikebreakers seeking to impose the arbitrary will of an employer on employes; that they have the moral as well as t'he Jegal right to engage in such service of the American public to avoid in- terruption of indispensable railway transportation, and that they are en- titled to the protection of every department and branch of the Government, State and National.” It is understood assurances have been broadcasted by strikers that they will return with all seniority rating and previous privileges enjoyed. Let there be no misunderstanding about this: No man who has left our service on strike will be re-employed except as a new man, if re-~employed at all, and no qualified man now or hereafter employed, who desires to remain in our service, will be displaced to make room for returning strikers, MEN WANTED Boilermakers—Machinists—Electrical Workers Linemen—Car Repairmen—Other Skilled Mechanics To work for wages awarded by the Government through its authorized agent, the U.
