Qatar, to the Political %ent 5 Bahrain,.
hear of your good health and noted what --ou r.ontioned In respect
of the pay of the representatives, I oe to inform you that I did
neither ask for a thing contrary to rales applied in such cases
nor fixed rates which-differed to those being paid in other
places and imposed them on the Company as referred to by you so
that the Company may consider that I have excluded the custom
and rales to be observed in this matter, I have ashed for a
moderate tiling and reasonable rates of ;vay which suit the duties
and positions of the representatives. I ms lenient in this
matter to the utmost possible extent. However the pay of the
representatives is known and the Company pay similar p^y in
other places. There is no cause for difference in the rates of
pay. I had the right to ask for these pay innediately the
concession had been signed, but I was so lenient as to postpone
it till the commencement of the work. I did not think that the
Company would hesitate in paying it or ignore the amount which
should be paid to the representatives. Hie Corpa-i - pay similar
pay in other places. The Company should have hastened to pay
it as they started the work because this is one of their
necessary duties. Bat as you stated that it is now under the
consideration of the Company and that the Honourable the
Political Resident in the Persian Qulf is in communication with
H is Majesty 1 s Government in this connection, I am reassured on
account of this commanication and have earnest hope that the
result of what I asked for mil appear shortly because it is
Reasonable and not contrar ' to rules.
