Permission to draw on Company maintained Commissaries,
This is most desirable and is surely important for
Company's own interests. Scarcity of certain commodities
is already felt in town and in case of need we have only
to count upon the above source.
Payment of full leave earned even in case of resignation
provided that the period of service is not less than one
year.

Revision of pays with a substantial increase. Government
itself is offering positions on abnormal pays. A.I.O.C.
has recently granted a general increase in salaries. Clerks
here are comparatively poorly paid. Some old A.I.O.C. Indian
employees are receiving over Rs.800/- p.m. whereas such figure
is undreamt of here and denied to us.
War Allowance to be revised in line with A.I.O.C.
Revision in Temporary Living Allowance is desirable.
To figure out this, it is requested that the Housing Facilities
and other benefits afforded by the A,I,0,C, to its Clerical
and Technical employees, should be taken into consideration.
Further, (and this is most important) in view of the fact that our posi
tion here is virtually the same as that of Clerks etc. attached to the Military,
we beg to state that we stand eligible to the same benefits and privileges as
enjoyed by them. Therefore the question of IMMSDIAT3 GRANT OF AD5QJJATE COMPEN
SATION OR PENSION to the dependants of an employee who dies or becomes incapaci
tated due to enemy action while here or on way to India, needs immediate consider
ation.
We shall be much grateful if you will kindly give a most sympathetic con
sideration to this foregoing and help your loyal subjects who willingly stand
up to your call.
We beg to remain,
Sir,
Your most obedient servants.
