The proposed amendment to the gold and silver marking act, permitting the importation of British hall-marked nine-karat goods, was fully discussed by the Banking and Commerce Committee of the House of Commons last Thursday. E. M. Trowern, representing the jewelers section of the Retail Merchants’ Association, had a hearing, and strongly objected to the act passed last year as having been framed in the interests of the manufacturers; and not having been: intelligently considered by the retailers. It was so filled, he said, with technicalities that half the retailers in the country, would not be able to observe its provisions and would render themselves liable to imprisonment. P. W. Ellis, Toronto, supported the act as it stood, and opposed any amendment. The committee decided, to recommend to the government that the act be not put into operation until the expiration of eight months from the time originally set, viz., July 13, which will allow time for further consideration.

The Gold and Silver Marks Act passed at the Dominion House last session will not go into force on July 13 next, as provided. The act prohibited the importation into Canada of jewelry which assayed less than 10 karat. The act was opposed before the Committee on Banking and Commerce by the retail jewelers who represented that it was bound up in technicalities, and who said that the only good clause was the one providing for a hall mark. It was decided to postpone the operation of the act for eight months, thus allowing time for its reconsideration during the next session of the House.
