SUCCESS OF SAFEGUARDING
DYE INDUSTRY ON ITS FEET. RESTRICTIVE ACT TO EXPIRE. British Wireless. Rec. 5.5 p.m. Rugby, Nov. 19. The President of the Board of Trade, Mr. Graham, announced in the House of Commons to-day that tlie Government had decided that as the object of the Dye Stuffs Act had been attained it should lapse .on January 15 next. The Act provided for the safeguarding of the dye-making industry by a system of prohibition subject to licensing, and it was expressly provided in the Act that it should continue in force for a period of ten years and no longer. The recent committee showed the industry had now reached a stage at wjiich it was capable of meeting a very large proportion of the requirements of dye stuff users in the United Kingdom and of carrying on increasing export trade, and manufacturers indicated their ability to meet normal foreign competition in respect of price. It now appeared that the object of the Act had been attained in the ten years it had been in force.
