POLITICAL AGENCY, (o\)
BAHRAIN. ^
The 20th October, 1947.
The Secretary to the Hon'ble the Political
Resident in the Persian Gulf,
Bahrain .
Memorandum ^ ^ '
Reference correspondence resting with Residency
Printed Letter No.1475-64/283, dated the 31st March, 1945.
2. As reported separately the Bahrain Petroleum Company
and the Bahrain Government have recently increased the wages
paid to their Arab labourers. It will also be observed from
the enclosed statement that there have been considerable in
creases in the prices of many essential foodstuffs since March
1945, when the last increase in the emoluments of the menial
establishment^ was made, while there have been only slight
decreases in the cost of a few.
3. I have discussed the case with those concerned, and
I am satisfied that, for the present at any rate, an increase
in their pay at a flat rate of Rs.10/- per month will satisfy
them. This is modest indeed compared to the Re.V- a day
granted by the Bahrain Petroleum Company, and I recomraend that
this increase be sanctioned with effect from the 1st September,
1947.
4. The additional expenditure involved will amount to
approximately Rs.300/- per month to be met from the Office
Allowance and the Launch Grant of this Agency; and it is req
uested that early sanction be accorded to disuade the menial
staff from leaving in search of more profitable employment.
5. If this increase is made, the revised emoluments
of the menials will be as follows:-
