The Chief Secretary to the Government of the 
Federated Malay States, 
Kuala Lumpur. 17th February, 1911. 
Sir, 
I have the honour to inform you? that at the last Meeting of this 
Association, held on the I2th instant, it was resolved to submit to 
your Government the following recommendations on the subject of 
Agricultural Labor: — 
(1) That the F.M.S. Government make a loan during 1911 of 
$1,000,000 and that the Indian Immigration cess to be levied in the 
Colony, the F.M.S., Johore and the other British Protected States in 
the peninsula be a sum not exceeding $2.50 per quarter so that it 
be possible to pay a bonus of about $15 per imported Indian coolie. 
(2) That a Labour Department proper be instituted with control 
over all labour, Indian, Chinese, Javanese and other, with a sufficient 
staff to see that the present enactments are carried into effect.
