During the two decades preceding the outbreak of the First World War, Northern Rhodesia acted as a labour reservoir for a wide variety of internal and external industrial and agricultural interests. There were two major externally-based recruiting agencies. The larger was the Rhodesia Native Labour Bureau (RNLB), which since 1903 had served Southern Rhodesian mines and farms and which also recruited, as a sideline, for those of Northern Rhodesia. The smaller, Robert Williams and Company, recruited for Union Minière du Haut Katanga located in the nearby Belgian Congo. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
