PRIVATE WIRELESS STATIONS
 ORDERED TORN DOWN

BISBEE. April l7-Government of fcials here yesterday received orders from Lieut.. J. NJ. Asher of San Di- ego. radio superintendent of this district. to close all private wireless telegraph stations operating in the district The order was issued by Lieutenant Asher April iS. effective immediately. It provides that all wireless aerials must be taken down at once and dis-assembled and that all other equipment must be taken to pieces and made absolutely unser- viceable. Any persons failing to observe the order immediately will be severely punished by the govern ment.
 Amateur wireless operators have long been the cause of much trouble to army and navy officers and the order abolishing all but government stations was received here yesterday with satisfaction Along the Pa cific coast the amateur operator has been unusually pestiferous. in spite Of restrictions placed by the govern ment and several sos calls have been sent out, supposedly from big steamers in the coastwise traffic. that have created panics along the coast.
 With the present state of war ex- isting between this country and Ger many the government has decided that The only way to put a stop 10 the interruption of federal messages by amateur wireless fiends. is to do away with unauthorized stations en- ,ireiy. Any persons owning private wireless stations will not only be do- ing their country a great service. but will also keep themselves out of se- rious trouble If they immediately con form with Lieutenant Asher's order II is pointed out that even the slight est interruption of the transferring Of federal wireless messages might prove disastrous to the nation. Al though federal officers here believe that the order will be immediately complied with by amateur operators. they are nevertheless keeping an eye on each one and any who do not at once comply with the war order will he severely dealt with.

 Secretary Osborn stated today that this publication cannot be issued un- til the bills become laws. and the bills do not become laws, with the exception of those carrying the emer- gency clause. of which there are very few. until ninety days after the close of the legislature, which date Is June =. next. and not knowing what are the laws. and what are not. the ses- sion laws cannot be printed until that time.
 Under the provisions of the state
 
 the legislature. except those carrying the emergency. can become effective until ninety days after the close of the session at winch they are passed This is in order to allow the people of Arizona. if they SO desire, to file referendum petitions against any or all of them. and if petitions contain ing signatures of qualified electors equal to per cent of the total vote cast for governor at he last election. which in this instance would be 2S15. are filed. then the measure or meas ures are held in abeyance until they are submitted to the qualified cleo tors of the state for their approval or disapproval at the next general cleo ion. which will be held in November. 1918.

ARIZONA ASKED TO
 PREVENT ALL LABOR rRoUeLe

PHOENIX. April 17-Arizona has been invited to participate in 8 na- ton wide movement now on fOoc which is designed to prevent labor troubles or disputes during tine pe- riod of war
 In a communication to Governor Thomas E. Campbell. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker requested that the chief executive take immediate steps to suspend or modify rcstr!c- tions contained in the Arizona labor laws al any time when such suspen- sion or modification shall be request. ed by the Council of National De- fense. Any action taken along this line the communication stated should hold good only during the lnration of the war
 Several days ago labor leaders gathered in New York to devise plans for preventing labor troubles during the international strife aad hey adopted various measures which il was thought would have a strong tendency to forestall disputes be- tween capital and labor. Any fric. lion. they believe. would work great hardships not only with the civiiiaa population but with the government as well
 Among the resolutions adopted by the labor leaders, was a proposal to ask all state legislatures to suspend or modify labor law restrictions. Such action Is imperative. they be- lieve. to insure harmony.
 Simultaneous with the request be- ing forwarded by Secretary Baker to governors of all states are similar re quests being forwarded by the Coun- Gil of National Defense to capitalists throughout the country. Among the resolutions proposed by these men Is the continuation at all times of sani. tary and health laws now in force in all factories and manufacturing plants. Also, it is proposed that the proper steps be taken to safeguard human life in the factories.
 What action will be taken by Gov. ernor Campbell has not yet been made known. but 1t Is believed that the request met with the hearty ap. proval of the chief executive. Ac- ton has already been taken by the governor to perfect a state council of defense which will undoubtedly have within it's power the jurisdiction to carry out plans as suggested in Sec retary Bakers communication

 WILL START SOON

The work of registering the men of Cochise county between the ages of IS and 45 years for military infor- nation as authorized under the mili- tary civil code of Arizona, will not start until further instructions are received by County Assessor E, A. Hughes from Governor Thomas F.. Campbell. according 10 announce ment today.
 According to the report received an effort is being made by the var department to have the registration made uniform throughout the United States ana to do this the same form will have to be followed by all as sessors compiling the information. Mir. Hughes this morning conferred with Governor Campbell over the phone regarding this phase of the question. and was advised to hold of any action until Wednesday of this week Governor Campbell in the meantime Is taking up the question with the department at Washington and MT Hughes w!ri hold on opera. ton until advised.
 Up to date. however. his ofYice has received very few voluntary regis trations. and Mr. Hughes predicts that when the work ia started it will take at least 50 deputies to cover the county thoroughly. as has been the case in Maricops county. The task win take about a month and that f is to be no small one may be taken from the fact that there are over 15.. 800 registrations in this county. not to say anything about the amount of once work it will nesuire to set the list h shape -sfser coming b.
