The employment of Chinese coolies suspended
Click on image to zoom in
A translation of an article from the Asahi Shimbun criticizes a labor regulation which resulted in the loss of employment for foreign Chinese railroad workers. The writer argues that the inexpensive yet efficient labor provided by Chinese workers is necessary for Japan to improve its industry and compete with international, particularly German, commodities. The writer acknowledges the potential harm increasing immigrant labor could cause local Japanese laborers.
