THE EAST COAST OF SUMATRA

This part of the East Coast of the Island of Sumatra is situated between the Government of Acheen and its Dependencies in the north, the Straits of Malacca in the east, Indragiri (a part of the Residency of Riouw and its Dependencies) in the south, and the Residency of Sumatra's West Coast and of Tapanoeli in the west. It includes a great number of States, each of which, under control of the Governor, is ruled by a native Prince or Chief, who, according to his rank and dependency, is styled Sultan, Yang di Pertuan, Kedjuruan, Radjah, Datu, etc. The country is administered by a Governor, 6 Assistant-Residents, 14 Controllers (incl. Gezaghebbers) and 3 Assistant-Controllers. Justice is dispensed by the Court of Justice at Medan, the Landraad of Medan and Bindjei, Tandjung Balei, Tebing Tinggi and Bengkalis, the residen- tiegerechten of Bindjei, Tandjoeng Balei and Bengkalis, the Magistrates, and by native Courts or Karapattan. The staple industry of the country is agriculture, and, this being dependent upon imported labour (Chinese and Javanese), the labour question is carefully guarded by a special Coolie Ordinance. All coolies are indentured under advances. The employer must house his people properly, provide them with medical attendance and food when sick, and monthly payments are compulsory. Six special officials (1 Inspector and 5 adj. Inspectors of Labour) look after this.
