Everyone who has had to do with the engagement of house, boys knows what a power, is wielded by these same guilds. Their clannishoess is remark able and their power of united action im. henso. At the beck of their headmen, a house or a hotel can be boycotted so far as servant labour is concerned Were the re gistration regulations to be left in the hands of the guilds, there would require official supervision and those that declined to come under the restriction would have to be desit with under the Secret Societies Ordinance stituted, with a certainty of sympathalie co operation from the guilds, that would be the most satisfactory line of policy to pursue. It in rather a peculiar fact that Chinese servants will sometimes be scrupulously honest to an employer whom they like, while.not besitat log to steal from one towards whom they bear a grudge. In this Colony perhaps more than lo any place in the Far East the facili. ties for a dishonest house boy to get away out of British jurisdiction with his spoils are ridiculously free.

One incident brought to our notice at the time of its occurrence threw rather i remarkable light on the efficacy of Chinese methods of checking crime in their midst and of assisting their British neighbours here to re- press it. A hotel room boy made off to his native village near Canton with money and valuables belonging to his employer. It so happened that his master had the name of the village by him, and he wrote to the authori. ties giving information of the boy's action.
