Syllabus

<p>1. Copyrights — Retail Price — Control—Notice.</p> <p>Where publishers of a copyrighted book printed on the page immediately following the title page of each copy, underneath, the notice of copyright, a notice that the price of the book at retail was $1 net, and that no dealer was licensed to sell it at a less price, and that such a sale would be treated as an infringement of the copyright, such notice did not entitle the publishers to control the retail price of the book, so as to render a sale of the book at a reduced price an infringement of their copyright.</p>
