Dear Pinhey,
I have now discussed Qiy letter No.
C/R-409 of Prod August with Stcb&rt, and he
feels even more strongly than I that we
should pres5? for the immediate payment of
the guards 1 wages at the new rate prior to
the signature of the Agreement, end that
also in order not to penalise Shaikh Muhammad
the revised scales of pay should be made
valid from the date of expiry of the old
Agreement. From our point of view, Shaikh
Muhemmed is a satisfactory Ruler and Stobart
considers that we shoiild do all we can to
help him.
Yours sincerely,
ried- ^
