Edison, As Inventor, Gets Al 000 a Year?Recognized Producer authorized Traders -Now Some try Which Exhibit New York City.?Since the settlement not long ago of the differences between Thomas A. Edison and the Biograph people and various independent moving picture companies, which resulted in Mr. Edison reaping profits of his genius and industry, ! * settlement which followed a Federal Court's affirmation of Mr. Edisor's patent rights, peace had promised to reign among the manufacturers of the pictures for the first time in nearly fifteen years. But a few months ago a number of new manufacturers sprang up who, it is charged, boldly Infringed upon Mr. Edison's patents and set about iintlfvlne- fhomcplroe an the ground that, as they alleged, the eleven manufacturers In this lountry and Europe who since the lettlement have been paying Mr. Edison royalties were violating the Sherman anti-trust law. It is declared that these men represented that they would either break up the settlement or force Mr. Edison :o open his patents to them. This idea af contending that the exercise of an nventor's patent rights led to violalion of the Sherman law was the only lovel feature in the litigation, which esulted in a decision by Judge Noyes, )f the United States Circuit Court, hat an injunction should lie againet .he group of defendants, who aduittedly have been infringing upon i dr. Edison's patents, the defendants leing Carl Laemmle and the Indelendent Moving Picture Company of America, of which he is president; ind the Pantograph Company. The president of one of the comlanies which are paying royalties to dr. Edison said: "You may see it a glance that with the 4,000,000 >r 5,000,000 persons who make up he dally attendance of the 13,000 moving picture theatres in this counry the question of the supply of these Urns is a matter of wide interest.

Mr. Edison has always given his patents to the public >r told the public of his achievements ilmost before he had the patents out md before he had organized any companies to operate under them with the result that in no single instance, t believe, has he reaped the undisturbed benefit of his brain work. "Now. until the settlement of the moving picture patent dispute in his Tavor, which resulted in the union of the Edison and Blograph Companies in the Motion Picture Patents Company?the plaintiff in the action just iecided by Judge Noyes?he wasn't getting anything from his moving picture invention and was involved in lostly litigation.

FilOVING PICTURES bout $7200 a Week, or Nearly $375/ s Get an Injunction Against Un5 13,000 Shows in This CounMotion Pictures. Edison Manufacturing Company, the Essaney Film Manufacturing Company. the Gaumont Company, the Kalem Company, George Klelne, the Lubin Manufacturing Company, George Melies, Pathe Freres, the Selig Polyscope Company and the Vitagraph Company of America, eight of them being American concerns and the others European interests. "And here is what the business amounts to in dollars and cents: Twenty productions are issued each week in this country. Each is of 900 feet of film, making 18,000 feet, and eighty of each are issued, makinc 1. 440,000 feet. On this production a royalty of one-half cent per foot is paid to Mr. Edison, giving him from this source a weekly revenue of $7 200. "Since the settlement under which these royalties are paid there has arisen a swarm of people, of whom Carl E&emmle is one, who have gone into the business of supplying moving picture films in which they had to violate Mr. Edison's patent rights. In the course of it they have taken from the concerns already enumerated some of their employes and actors, paying them preposterously high prices, and then in some cases letting them go after having used their talents and information for a Bhort period. Their main contention before the public and the profession, or business, has been that the concerns paying the Edison royalties were violating the Sherman law and would sooner or later have to quit, while really these concerns are using patents on which they are paying royalties. "The matter just decided by Judge Noyes was an action by the Motion Picture Patents Company against Carl Laemmle and the Independent Moving Picture Company and against the Pantograph Company. The Judge has ruled that the validity of the pat cut in question nas already been adjudicated, and he adds, 'and infringement on the part of the defendant' corporations is conceded.' He also says: 'I am also of the opinion that the charge, if established, that the complainant is itself, or is a member of. a combination in violation of the Federal anti-trust statute, is not a defense available in an action for the infringement of a patent and fails to show a defect in the complainant's title. An injunction against the defendant corporations may therefore issue. The proof of pergonal infringement by the defendant Laemmle is, however, deemed insufflcientto warrant the issuance of an injunction against him and it is denied. But this action is without prejudice to the right of the complainant to renew his application in case future acts of personal infringement are disclosed." * :ws of I leaders he knew i was completed only a few weeks revising the final proofsheets he men famous in national politics ling up: t President: McKinlev. the most I Bt ungracious or treacherous; Ar[reatest warrior and peacemaker, stion Governor the party ever had; , the most stalwart; Morton, the lughes, a tyrant; Hill, a peanut omas R.
