Dear Sir;

Referring to your letter No. 1439-28/14 of 28th J.lay relative
to furnishing a proper form of/contract to British and Indian skilled
labor employed by The Bahrein iPetroleum Conrpany Limited:
In my letter No. PA-500 of Iv 'ay 21, 1936, I evidently did not
make my point very clear in paragraph (2) regarding skilled and semi
skilled Indian employees who have lived in Bahrein for years and consider
it their home. I refer to such locally hired men as Jas. A. Dias, Indian
Mechanic, Abdulaziz Lai Llohammed, Indian Turner, Harry John, Burmese
Mechanic, etc., who were in Bahrein for years before the Company started
operations here. It is not intended to offer these men a contract
inasmuch as Bahrein is their home but we do intend to put all our other
, Indian skilled and ser.i-s-: 1 ITeETI-Snployees on contract at an early date.
As advised in my letter No, PA-481 of May 5, 1936, the new
contract forms submitted with that letter have just recently been worked
up, and the Company has not had time to put them in final shape for
signing. There are several small miscellaneous points in these contracts
still being worked out with the San Francisco Office, but as soon as
We would appreciate your early comments regarding the contracts
sent with our letter No. PA-481.
Yours very truly,
a. ".7. R. 3LITII,
Chief Local Representative,
THE BAHREIN PETROLEUM COMPANY LIMITED.
