Woods, a Confer: ence of all interested in food production was held iu Jo- ronto on Monday, May 7, AUTHORS HANDICAPPED: Writers In This Country Have Cause | for Complaint. | At the present time Canadian authors are undef a distinct handi- cap ag compared with the authors of other nations. It is a well-known fact that to-day moving pictures and phonographs bring the writer's thought to millions who formerly de- pended on the printed page, yet the Copyright Act of Canada gives no protection against the reproduction of an author's work by means of moving pictures, phonograph records, or - music rolls, No matter how popular a song by a Canadian may be, it can be reproduced on phonograph records, without the payment of any royalty to the author, and no Cana- dian author can prevent the moving picture companies from reproducing his ideas on film without any pay- ment of royalty. To remedy this state of affairs, the Authors' and Composers' Association of Canada, whose headquarters are in Toronto, have submitted a memoran- dum to the Canadian Government asking them to adopt the British Copyright Act of 1911, the provisions of which include, among other things, the payment to the owner of the copyright of 5 per cent. of the retail price of each record or roll sold. The memorandum says: "The United States publishers are now refusing to consider a song by a Canadian writer on account of the fact that they ot collect any me- chanical royalties under their copy- right act, because .Canada bas ho such provision in her act. "Lieut.
