War Prisoners Base Labor Shortage
Thousands of Italian and German prisoners of war are employed on U S farms lumber camps fertilizer plants and laundries to ease labor shortages. Many Italians express desire to stay after the war but under international law they must be returned home, with readmission possible as quota immigrants later. Prisoners earn 80 cents daily plus 10 cents in canteen credit, with the rest covering camp costs, and are escorted by guards during work.
