u
administration report of the
A revenue collecting expedition in Knhgilu is to be undertaken, by the
Bakhtiari Khans this winter and they have announced their intcation of
withhoding the revenues of the Ram Hormuz district for this year to provide
funds for the expedition.
Anglo-Persian Oil The operations of the Company have steadily
extended. Kut Abdullah pumping station was brought into commission in
October and Mullasani and Dorquain pumping stations will be ready shortly.
Drilling operations in Pushtikuh have had to be postponed owing to transport
difficulties.
The Indian labour employed in Arabistan is now becoming organized, and
is reacting to the industrial situation in India. A strike occurred at the oil
fields in June, but was speedily settled through the intervention of the Vice-
Consul. The causes of the strike and the conditions of labour at the oilfields
have been fully discussed elsewhere. An entirely new regime has been
introduced by Mr. H. E. Nichols, one of the London Directors of the Oil
Company, who arrived in December armed with full powers, and the new
arrangements for the pay and housing of Indian labour are more than adequate.
At the same time every effort is being made to develop the local supply of
skilled labour and gradually decrease the Company's dependence on labour
imported from India.
A succession of bad harvests has made it difficult to supply the demands
of the ever increasing number of workmen. Increased cultivation can only be
secured by the preservation of law and order and for this reason alone it is of
the utmost importance that our political hold on North Arabistan should be
retained.
