Industry among these natives has been
encouraged by the zeal with which the
Government looks after their interests.
No one can employ black man in the
Protectorate unless Government official
approves the contract
The time the laborer engages for service,
the amount he is to be paid and all other
conditions. must be in black end white.
The employer cannot engage him for more
than a year at time and must give bond
to defray the cost of his journey home when
the contract expires.
The native is paid OF only in the presence
OF Government officer, who sees that he
receives exactly what is due him. If q

BLACK LABOR ron THE RAND.
Efforts TO Recruit 1000 Natives In Central
Africa for the Gold Mines.

The gold mining companies on the Rand
are having so much officially in securing the
labor needed for the mines from the millions
of native South Africans that they are
actually turning to the tribes of tropical
Africa for the help they need. A despatch
from Blantyre, the caief town Of the British
Central Africa Protectoratc, which lies
between the Z,mbasi River and the north

STOOL PIGEON is
CAUSE OF A ROW
Charges of GuIickson Stir Up
Trouble Among Of
ficials.

David Gulickson has precipitated a riot
in the Minneapolis police department The
new superintendent has been busily en-
gagged In observation since his instalIa-
ton, and now he wants to know a lot of
things. 1t appears titat Supt Conroy has
his own ideas about. the extent to which
stool pigeon work is legitimate on the
part of detectives seeking for reputa TONS
Gullckson swearsSd that Detectives
Vaughan and GormaH paid him So each
for every man he could rope into a rob-
berry. This statement struck the superin-
tendent with considerable force in view
OF the recent charges made by an alleged
holdup man against Detectives Grumpy
and Brown. The man is now in the peni-
Tertiary serving a term. He swore that
Brown and Grumpy jobbed him, and there
was much evidence in apparent support
of this contention.
There appears to be a heavy row on be-
tween city and county officials in this
matter. Some of the latter insist that
the detectives are doing dirty work in
handIIng police business, while the police
fetort that the. county people are dabblinS
IN matters that do not concern them. In
TINS conflict OF authority and opinion there
Is promise OF an exposure. Even the de-
tecllVe force, under the new admiriStra-
ton, wherein all is supposed to be
harmony and cooperation IS far from
being amlably inclined one toward the
other.
An investfga ton is under way which may
%esult in the decapitatiOn of several police
men, Police rivalry is considered in one
way a good thing for the police depart
ment, but when this rivalry incites officers
to manufacture criminals for purposes
of Qualification it is regarded seri-
GUS problem for the superintendent to
deal with.
The detectives engaged on the. case in
which Gulickson was concerned last ad-
nit that he has been acting as stool
pigeon and defend the-use of stool pigeons
on the general ground that it is a sys-
tenn in vogue all ovef the world They
admit that Gulicksdh has given them
many valuable tips, but deny that they
have ever paid him money for informa-
ton. They assert that once or twice when
Gulickson has been in need of money for
a meal or a bed they have staked him, but
tnat no money was ever given him in re
turn for services rendered. All that had
ever been given him was solely out of
the prompting of charity.
AT the same time their charitable pro-
clivities may get them into trouble. The
stories of men with fair records behind
them being roped into crime through the
Vaccinations Of stool pigeons are becom-
ing all too frequent to suit the heads of
the department. The mayor is interested
in the matter. and=tfIere is little doubt
that GulickSOn will have a chance to re-
late his story to appreciative listeners.
