National Guard clothing and equip
ment is arriving in a wholesale man
ner at the armory and the big build
ing is beginning to take on the look
of department store Need for more
room than the structure affords, large
as it is, is rapidly becoming evident,
For the first time in the history Of
the local guard underclothing and
light wool socks are on hand for dis
tribution. Shoes galore are also ar
irving at the arriory or are stored at
the local docks, the new rule being
that every man in the guard shall
have an extra pair of shoes in re-
serve 1t is not likely that these will
be issued at once, however, but will
be kept in the armory store rooms
Enough equipment is now on hand,
it was stated today, to Fit out every
company in the entire territory, figur.
ing enrolments at 65 men each. AS
an example of the size of these ship
ments may be. taken the following:

PLANDISCUSSION
ONPIER MATTERS

In an effort to arrive at some con-
clusion whereby work may begin
again on Piers s, and 10, the harbor
board will probably hold special
meeting soon, it was learned today.
Pending the report of the three ex-
pert engineers appointed by the har-
Dor board to decide conclusively upon
the condition of Piers and 8 and
also upon the plans drawn for Pier 10,
where work had not yet started, the
Lord Young Engineering Company,
contractors, ceased all construction
work at the site.
( 1T will be remembered that the
three experts in their report recon-
mended a gravity wall instead of a
curtain wall for Pier 10. and this part
of the report was adopted by the har-
Dor board at meeting several days
ago.
II is said that while the gravity wall
is larger than the curtain wall, the
ease with which concrete may be
poured in the former makes this type
much cheaper per cubic foot. The.
question now arises as to just how
much more OF. how much less per
cubic foot the wan will cost. Some
engineers are of the opinion that the
cost will be much less than the am
cunt already estimated 1t is said
that the meeting of the board will be
held to talk over this question and
come to some decision to present to
the contractor.

LABOR BUREAU IN
CITY This week
Employment Facilities at Good
Wages Emphasized in Plan
Announced Today

Preparedness" by the navy on
Oahu has taken new phase-an ac-
I tive movement for putting through
without delay its large industrial.
Elans involving Pearl Harbor
Under authorization of Capt George
r. Clark, commandant at the naval
station, a special labor employment
bureau is being opened In Honolulu.
with r. c. w. Cooper, recorder Of the
board OF labor employment at Pearl
Harbor, in charge. The bureau will
open formally next Wednesday at the
naval station IN Honolulu.
While no unusual activity is notice
able at the local naval station-sa sign
: that the navy is proceeding as usual
with its work-it has been decided to
facilitate the employment of labor
through the bureau In Honolulu. The
wages paid are attractive.
The present crisis has resulted in
the calling in of but few additional
employees from the eligible lists
which are always maintained at the
naval station. Perhaps but few pee
pie realize the care which Uncle Sam
uses in selecting employees; a candi-
date for employment at naval sta
tion must be a citizen of the United
States, naturalized citizens must pre-
sent full citizenship papers, must pass
a physical examination and present
unimpeachable recommendations from
former employers or fellow workers,
who can vouch for their actual knowl-
edge of the trade at which they are
seeking employment. When this is
done the name of the applicant is
placed en- an eligible list for employ
ment in accordance with the marks
obtained.
All application papers are marked
by a board Of naval officers under
regulations approved by the civil ser.
vice commission and in accordance
with the trade experience shown by
the applicants record and recon-
mendations.
In calling man for employment. |
those obtaining the highest mark are |
called first, preference being given |
by law to war veterans and ex-serviee |
men discharged through disability re-
sulting from wounds or sickness In
Cured in the line of duty.
The rates of wages paid are estab- !
lished annually by a board and are |
based on the rates paid by local en-
pioyers. in al cases being equal to,
or higher than. SANG,
Applications will be received for the
following trades:
Helpers, coppersmiths'; helpers.
sheet metad workers, anglesmiths,
boatbuiIders, diesinkers, drillers, cleo
troplaters. forgers. heavy; galvanizers.
joiners, ship: sailmakers, shipsmiths,
sparmakers, tool dressers, toolmakers.
Application blanks and all neces-
sarY information may be Obtained for I
positions in Groups II or III by mail
or personal application to the record
er of the board of labor, naval sta.
lion, Pearl Harber, T. H.
Applications for employment under

Commencing February IA, the re.
corder Of the labor board will be at

RAISE STANDARD
OF POLICEMEN

That the efficiency Of the police dc
paTtmFnt should be raised and kept
al a high standard by not only in.
crcasiHg the pay in order that posi-
ton as policeman Will be worth while,
thus drawing to il better men. but
BY making the requirements sufft-
cicutly strict TO keep out the undesir-
ables and also making the position
perm anent. is the opinion of Edward
f'ogaIty, member oil the civil service
commission II
~ here should be twice as many
men in the police fierce today as there
are and their pay should be on grad
uated plan and much higher than ii is
now" said Fogarty today.
Plain Clothes wen Neeoed ~ r.
The reason why Fogarty believes
that the force should be increased is
that the criminal population in Homo
lulu has increased greatly during the
past few years and will probably
grow greater as time goes on. What
is most needed" he says, lis more
plain clothes men," .. i
In speaking of salaries, Fogarty be-
lieyes that policemen should be
started in at~$S0 a month and each
year that they are with the force have
il Increased TO a certain amount and
then make the raises occur every
few years. He also thinks that pen
sion fund should be started to take
care of the men who grow old in the
service, are injured. or If killed, to.
care for their families
Commission Is Much Needed
In regard to the civil service COM
mission, Fogarty firmly believes that
no police department can be efficient
without such an organization, which
will pick the men by examination
who are capable of caring for the
safety Of a city. He deplores the
fact that the amendments to the city
and county charter proposes to do
away with the commission and il is
understood that the commission as a
whole is working to make it perma.
nent board At the meeting last Sat.
urday many suggestions were made
along these lines and il is likely that
other meetings will be held to con-
slider further the problems.
Firemen Are Underpaid
Fogarty added that the fire depart
ment was also underpaid and many OF
his opinions relating to the police de-
partment would also apply to them.
IF the suggestions made above are
not followed" Fogarty added, "the
people cannot expect to see the de- |
partment improved. The salaries of
both the police and fire departments |
should be raised Immediately by the
board of supervisors"
