wsstsrn Newspaper Union Nsvs Service
 Phoenix. Ariz.-A special war ses- sion'' of the Arizona Legislature con. vensd for the consideration of legisla- ton believed by Gov. G. w. P. Hunt to bs necessary to meet what he calls in his messags the unusual conditions imposed by war"
 Senate met in joint session for the purpose of listening to the governors . message. which contains nearly 10000 words. and reviews much of the states war and labor activities.
 The primary purposes of the session. the governor says. lis to back up our brave men in the trenches with all those supplies that are necessary to warfare so far as 1t becomes the states duty to furnish them"
 The governor pays bis respects to the "proiiteering patrioteer," whom he csiis "a certain sort of thing that wears the outward semblance of . human, but yet is . craven cur, whose mind is a sink of infamy; whose heart is as malignant as a cesspool, and whose character is as devoid of prin- ciple as that of raving ape in an Al. rican jungle"
 It is this type of an individual, he says, who have sown the seed Of blind prejudice. class dissension and ma licious falsehood from which the state of Arizona. during the past year. has reaped hapless harvest of industrial strife, eliminating in such shameful events as the deportations at Bisbee and Jerome. the tarrinss and feather ings. and finally the reckless tendency to brand as disloyal everyone who re- serves the right to do his own think. ing"
 The governor goes on to discuss the Bisbee deportations at length, and de. picts the fate of the deported men as they were sent on their boxcar journey towards New Mexico.
 T am certain" the governor said that the L W. w. was not a determin ing factor in the strikes that have tied up the copper mines during the past four months. These strikes grew ou; of a long standing struggle between the forces of legitimate organized la bor and the forces of organized bust ness dominated by the copper com panies. So far as lawlessness is con cerned the chief role of the I. W. w has been 10 serve as camouflage"
 Later on. in his review of labor con ditions, the governor declared tha, sensational newspapers and speakeri have been largely responsible for tn. mystery thrown about the l. W. W. ana for the publicity which has been giver the organization.
 Coming down to the purposes fol which the legislature is convened, tho governor recommends legislation pro viding machinery for permitting Ari zona electors in military camps or na val cantonments to vote for candidate. for federal and state offices; the e tablishment of a moratorium SO "tha, no Arizonian in his country's service will suffer civil penalties; to insur, against want all dependents of thos. citizens who enter upon either maya or military service; to provide fund.- for the care of all Arizonians who re turn from the front wounded or sick and to give credit to officers and en listed men in the old national guart for continuous service"
