HIGH WIND BLOWS
OVER HONOLULU

HONOLULU, Jan. 4.-The worst wind
storm which Honolulu has had since
1867 visited the city at the close of
1905, reaching its strongest on the af-
ternoon of New Years day, when the
wind blew at the rate of fifty-five miles
an hour. An electrical storm lasting
practically all night and increasing
somewhat in violence in the morning
accompanied the wind.
The wind reached a velocity of fifty
five miles an hour. but before that 1T
had been blowing forty-eight miles
The barometer was extremely low
reaching 2e.51. The normal for this
time of the year is 29.97
The continual shifting OF the wind
indicated that the storm center was
quite close. A fraction over 80 on an
inch of rain fell at one place in the SUI
burbs during December. Falling trees
in all parts of the town played havoc
with the electric wires. Spreckels' bank
was Hooded. A freight train on the
Oahu Railroad was wrecked, the heavy
seas having undermined the roadbed.
La Paloma, Clarence w. MacfarIane's
crack yacht, which took part in the
race for the Trans-Pacific Cup last
pear, was driven ashore in Pearl har-
Dor The black buoy at the entrance
Of the channel into the harbor was
torn from its mornings and is a quarter
OF a mile out Of position.

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

VALLEJO. Jan. 12.-Receipt of a
telegram at the Mare Island navy yard
saying that the old wage scale in eff
feet for the year 1906 will prevail until
further instructions from the Navy De-
partment has raised hope in the army
employees Of the yard that their request
for a raise in pay amounting TO about
10 per cent for all crafts viii be sue
cessfuL The wage board which sits
annually at the close of the year to
fix the pay of employees for the coming
year gave only very slight increase
TO few of the trades employed on
Mare Island The local unions and
the Vallejo Trades and Labor Council
protested against this action, and the
fact that similar protests were made
by employees of the yards at Bremerton
New York, League Island and Boston
has caused the Navy Department to
take the matter up. Unless there is
a substantial raise at least one-half
OF the present force of 1900 men is ex-
pected to leave their posts in the
spring.

MAY MAKE A NEW
WAGE SCHEDULE
Carpenters and MInen
Quietly Confer Over Stu
alton on the Pacific Coast
LIVING rs EXPENSIVE

OAKLAND, Jan. 13.-Members of
carpenters and millmen's unions of the
State, with delegates from adjoining
States and British Columbia, began a
conference at California Hall today
looking toward concerted action rela-
tive to wage and time schedules and
general regulations as to labor con-
ditions as affecting the entire Pacific
Coast.
The original call for the conference
was limited to unions in California,
but the movement expanded until
there is practically representation from
the entire Pacific Coast.
Sessions have been conducted with
the utmost secrecy. Despite this the
understanding is that the conference
purposes TO establish, in all probability,
a new minimum wage scale which will
meet extraordinary conditions as to
labor on the coast. The cost of living
has advanced so rapidly that not a
few of the delegates are said to favor
a material increase In the present
scale.
The carpenters, it is rumored. plan
10 demand an increase in wages
throughout the State and to set rules
to which all of the affiliated unions can
agree as to conduct of this craft in
building. operations. The conference
will not be. concluded before tomorrow
night, after which, It is announced,
public statement Will be made con-
corning the situation.
Building contractors have said it was
believed the carpenters would make
demand for more wages on January /.
The delay is due probably to a decision
of the unions to await the result of
the conference.
