Germany keeps her own laborers at work in her factories and makes skilled laborers of them all. .At the expiration of their seasonal employment. at time expiration of their limited passports. these foreign workmen are deported and sent back again. and none of -them are permitted to become skilled laborers in the factories of tie German Empire.
