Abstract:	Examines how in the published literature about African mine labour in Rhodesia the role of the administration, the Imperial government and the employers in helping 'smooth the path of the black worker in the mining industry', is described. This is done by an analysis of the labour legislation, the board and lodging situation and the prejudices against the black worker. Notes.
