1 enclose e copy of fln appXicet»ion da "ted 25 "th May 1942
which certain Indian employees of the Bahrain Petroleum Company
Limited (clerical, technical and artisan) have made to the Hon'bL
the Resident.
2. You will see from the application that one of their
main grievances is that their terns of employment are less
favourable than those accorded to Indian employees of t^.e ..nglo-
Iranian Oil Company. Without your assistance I cannot comment
on, or reply to, this part of their application, ^nd 1 shall be
grateful if you can tell ne, from your knowledge of the terms
which Indian employees of the Anglo Iranian Cil Company are
accorded, to what extent the complaints of Bahrain Tetroleum
Company employees are Justified. Normally, I know, the terras
afforded to their employees by commercial Companies are kept
strictly secret; but I think that in war time all Companies
are agreed that they must drop their rivalries and pool their
information and experience.
3. To enable you to have as complete a picture as possible
of the terras of employment of Indian employees of the Bahrain
Petroleum Company I enclose copies of the following
My letter 1 o .C /626 dated 8th May 1942 to the Bahrain
Petroleum Company (the letter which has caused all
the trouble. The Regulation referred to in the
letter is similar to the one enforced in Abadan).
