Six Men Plead Not Guilty at Montreal, To Charge of Violating Canadian Gold and Silver Marking Act

Montreal, Can., June 13.—Charged with infringing on the gold and silver marking act, six men appeared before Judge Leet in the Police Court yesterday morning. The six men who had been arrested by the inspector under the act, W. J. Ryan, pleaded not guilty to the charge laid against them and were remanded until the 19th.

These men, it is claimed, offered for sale wedding rings and jewelry of a quality inferior to that which, according to the stamp they were supposed to be. In some cases, Mr. Ryan claims, wedding rings offered were of a quality inferior by two or more karats than the stamp on the ring indicated.

The penalty for breaking this law is a fine not to exceed $100 for each article wrongly stamped, and the breaking and defacing of those articles so as to render them of no value outside of that which they retain as metal.

The law in itself states that it is forbidden to stamp precious metals with a mark which might give them a greater value than that which they really possess.

Another thing to which it is sought to put a stop, Inspector Ryan, stated, is the importation into Canada of electro-plate which, although bearing the stamped-in title, “English Made,’ is made in the United States. This plate is frequently marked Sheffield, as well as English made, and these words enhance the selling value of the articles. The Government of Ottawa, it was stated, is bound to punish severely all such practises of unscrupulous dealers.

The members of the Montreal branch of the International Jewelry Workers’ Union, on Feb. 13, made a demand on their employers for a 44-hour week, with the pay previously given for a 54-hour week, and proclaimed a strike. This, however, was of short duration as in nearly all cases a compromise was effected. Henry Birks & Sons compromised by conceding a 46-hour week. Farmer Bros. acceded to the demands of the union. Caron Bros. were unaffected, as they had granted the 44-hour week in October last. Other firms which have reached an agreement are Mappin & Webb, W. E. Roughton, M. Hoichberg and C. Vermette. Smith, Patterson & Co. offered a compromise which the men refused to accept, and Eaves Bros. have closed their factory permanently.
