JEWS TO BE PERMITTED
TO WORK IN COAL MINES
BERLIN, Germany—By special
permission of the Allied Commission
in charge of the Silesian coal field,
preparatory to •a plebiscite which is
to take place shortly in order to de-
teroCne the future sovereignty of the
province, Eastern Jews have now
been permitted to work in the mines.
Heretofore no person, not a native of
Silesia, was allowed to work in the
mines, for fear that such permission
to work might result in an undue in-
crease of the status of one nationality
as against the other which claims a
mainr•ty in the province.
Permission to work in the mines,
nosy granted to Jewish refugees from
the East, will result in a relaxation
