SHOPS AND OFFICES ACT.
"Lax" draws attention to a seeming breach of the above-mentioned Act. Photographic dealers have on more than one occasion referred to this matter, and with very apparent incongruity have encouraged competition against themselves by selling automatic film-selling machines to chemists. If these auto-film-selling machines are legallv permitted, then has the chemist not the right to sell films if he, by law, can emplov labour on holidays, Saturday evenings and during his extended hours of business during week days ? The situation seems to me as broad as it is long, and I do not wonder if the authorities are obliged to shut both eyes under the circumstances or until the Shops and Offices Act or the Police Offences Act is amended.
