nese colonists, some Koreans have
also been settled on Manchurian agri-
cultural land.
With the expansion of industry,
which has provided employment for
Japanese white collar" workers,
there has been heavy demand for
labor, and Chinese are being encour-
aged and even forced to come into
Manchuria for that purpose. The
Fushun Coal Mines, the Manchurian
Iron Manufacturing Company and 9th

agents into North China to recruit Ia
Dor for their enterprises.
Under the Labor Control Law, pro-
mulgated in February, 1889, no la
borer can change his job of his own
volition, except with the approval of
his employer. The law makes no pro-
vision for control agreements between
the employers covering the hiring,
wages and working conditions of the
laborers. Not only is Chinese labor
ont permitted to organize in it's own
behalf, but the law organizes the en-
ployers against him.

purpose of exploiting natural re-

economy.
Manchurias military industries,
from the basic industries of coal, iron
and steel and non-ferrous metals, to
the automobile, aircraft and machine
industries are under the control of
M.ID.C. This concern plays the part
of large holding company. Virtually
all the large Japanese companies are
stockholders in M.LD.C., as well as in
the subsidiary concerns controlled by
M.LD.C.
Coal production has increased ire
mendously and most of the output is
utilized in Manchuria The large
consumers, however, are Japanese

ducing for war purposes. AS whole,
coal is available only for essential war
The Japanese have turned not only
Manchuria's industrial policy to their
use but also the countrys land, labor
and immigration policy. The state is
acquiring land for the use of Japanese
colonists. The Japanese government
has followed a consistent policy of
encouraging Japanese farmers to mi
CRATE to Manchuria, although their
number is only small fraction of the
other classes of Japanese who have
thronged to Manchuria since the
"Manchurian Incident"
