Fear Canadian Diamond Import Ban Will Put Cutters Out of Business

Ernest W. Gardner, Canadian representative of the International Jewelry Workers’ Union, said that members of his union fear the government ban on the import of diamonds, precious and semi-precious stones will put them and their employers “out of business.” He stated the union was joining the employers asking Rt. Hon. C. D, Howe, minister of reconstruction, to have the ban lifted at least partially.

“If the diamond cutting and diamond setting business have to close up,” Mr. Gardner said, “it is going to affect hundreds of workers across Canada, including many veterans. And it will be the veterans who will suffer most because they are just learning the trade. The highly trained, skilled men can turn to other occupations, but the half-trained veteran will find that he has just been wasting his time and gratuities in learning the diamond cutting and setting trades.”

Mr. Gardner reckoned there were about 200 workers in Toronto, a similar number in Montreal, 100 in Vancouver and slightly fewer in Lendon, Windsor and Hamilton.

“In Toronto,” he stated, “there are 50 veterans who were encouraged to go into the diamond cutting and setting trades. Now they’ll be out of jobs shortly after Christmas.”

Mr. Gardner said no imitation stones are made in Canada.

“Even the men engaged in making costume jewelry will be affected because they won’t be able to get rhinestones or other imitations they need to make the jewelry, he declared.

Mr. Gardner pointed out there was no way to estimate the backlog of diamonds in Canada. “Big firms can afford large inventories,” he said, “but the smaller firms will go to the wall while the bigger firms carry on.”
