Unless the difference between
rhe radio stations and the Ameri
can Society ot Composers, Au
thors and Publishers are settled!
before January 1st. America will
rind most of it's favorite music
missing from the air waves comes
the new year. For many years;
ASCAP has collected royalties for
rt's members via a straight licens
ing agreement with the broadcas
ters allowing music, written or
published by ASCAP members to
be broadcast. Up until the pres-j
??nt the agreement has been re
newed yearly. To combat ASCAP
rhe networks have formed Broad
cast Music Inc. which is rapidly!
trying to build up n music library
suitable to radio usage. Both par
ties to the disagreement are
wrangling over t'he amount of the
li< easing fee which ASCAP claims
is small compared to the benellt
received and which the broadcas
ter:! say is much too large inas
much as the publishers and writ
ers of music benelit most from
radi'/s popularization of their
lunes. Tlie right of ASCAP to col
oct a licensing fee has been up
Ueld in various courts if the licen
id business presents the music
ei ASCAP members as whole or
;)urt of a>i entertainment, for pvo
ni. The tight to break the socie
ty's monopoly on practically all
iiie popular and semi-classic tunes
Is as eld as the organization it
self with all amusements using
Music ..a tching the light with
more than a passing interest.
.ery theatre, either movie or
ivgltiniulc. every ballroom, hotel,
night club and radio station has
for years paid- tribute to the
ASCAI* colters and these business
es are hoping the radio industry
ucceeds in breaking the society's
dictatorial music power. If the
broadcasters break ASCAP's pow
er it will not only save tliein hull
fifed;: or thousands yearly but
v> ill furnish the opening wedge to
r ",e theatres to remove the pain
ntlly high music tax they have
ee;i paying directly to ASCAP

We've all heard of kilowatt
Mom's? which are a measurement
'or a tertain amount* of electric
ity. But few realize Just how much
energy one kilowatt hour repre
nents. In a recent laboratory test,
a strong, younR ex-pugilist was
liut to work driving a hand gener
ator until exhaustion forced him
to stop. He produced just a lit
tle over one per cent of one kilo
watt hour. More than two hund
red men took turns operating a
bicycle-driven generator ? and
their combined efforts kept up un
til they were too weary to go on,
produced t?n cents worth of elec
tricity. A Alowatt hour purchas
ed from tne municipal power
company costs from two to seven
md one-half \ents. Electricity Is
t'tae greatest bargain an American
can purchase If he brings into ac
count the tremendous amount of
energy fie is purchasing for so
very little.

stated in the latest issue that
theatres In the larger towns and

patrons. The effectiveness of news

to every branch of the amusement
