one morning and discuss the question of contracts for
locally employed Indian personnel. I gather that the Company
employs some 57 Class II-A Indians^ 66 Class II-B Indians and
78 Class III Indians, who have been taken on locally and are
at present without contract. As you will see from your pre
decessor's letter No. PA-468 dated the 17th October 1937 it
was the Company's Intention that locally engaged Class II-B
the
Indians at least should have/sa^e form of contract as those
hired In India, but^apparently nothing has yet been don& about
this.
2. If your Company have any Ideas In regard to the form
of the contract to be used, I should be glad If you would
bring down t^je^draft with you when you come.
Yours sincerely,
