A law providing that aliens in Germany earning less than 700 marks a month will have to obtain special labor permits or suffer expulsion from the Reich was promulgated yesterday, taking effect July 1.
Consuls of foreign powers would be unable to intervene for their nationals under this ordinance, since labor legislation is an internal matter. The law, which may strike Eastern European Jews in Germany with especial severity, since it is not likely that they will be given the special permits, was forecast by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency in dispatches two weeks ago.
