EXT
72, An article, reported to have been issued by Tudeh Head~
quarters in Tehran, appeared locally as a supplement to the
Tehran newspaper "Shiva". It 3^ strongly criticised the scale
of wages paid by the Company to its labourers, which, it stated,
was quite inadequate to off-set the high cost of living in this
area. It maintained that the recent wage increase granted by
the Company to its labourers, was a cunning move, for, at the
same time, the Company had abolished Control Pay and Service
Pay and the workers will now receive their basic wages only.
It suggested that the minimum wage should be fixed at Rials 55/-
per day.
73. As a result of the interest displayed by H.M. Consulate
in the work of the A.I*-0.C, Public Relations Organisation in
regard to its Iranian-labour, the circulation of the Company^
News Sheet has been increased from 350 to 1000 copies a day, and
arrangements made for distribution to all workshops and other
departments of the Company where there is labour personnel at
work.
MISCELLANEOUS
74, About 100 Iranian Jews held a meeting at the Khorramshahr
Synagogue in the middle of April, with a view to collecting
funds for Palestine Jewry, The organisers of the movement are:
' 1. Na : em Khuzuri Motow’a
2 . Shejemo, son of Salim
3. Abdulla Emshir
4. Nahum Emshir
5. Agha’e Hayem
6 . Sirus, son of Es’haq,
Numbers 2 to 5 inclusive are employees of the A.I.O.C. They
decided to stage a performance on the following day for the same
purpose, but the Iraqi Jews, who had refused to associate them
selves with this movement, complained to the Governor, who took
steps to disperse the gathering a few minutes before the per
formance was scheduled to commence. The local authorities have
again asked the Company to tighten up security measures in the
Refinery area.
75. Attempts have been made by Aghai Navidi, the Manager of
the Yab Water and Electric Company, to form a Company to under
take lighterage in Khorramshahr Port. The proposal has failed
to produce any enthusiasm amongst the local merchants, who are^
well acquainted with Navidi*s unscrupulous methods in business^
transactions.
Sd. V.W.D, Willoughby*
His Majesty*s Consul,
Khorramshahr.
