OFFICERS EXPERTS IN GUESSING ON
 WHISKEY CONTENTS

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 13-Mem- bers of the State constabulary sta- toned at the union passenger sta- tion in Denver to prevent the i'm portation of whiskey are becoming experts at guessing the contents of suitcases and grips without opening them, according to Capt. Harry F. Allen of the constabulary.
 II think that our men are not wrong more than once in hun dred times when they stop a man and ask him to open his suitcase,' he said. ''One look at man carry ing suitcase is usually sufficient to tell them whether they are deal- ing with an ordinary traveller or a bootlegger."
 A suitcase filleG with whiskey, he said, weighs from sixty to eighty pounds. A man cannot carry it with a loose careless grip of the hand. Another thing that members of the constabularly have observed is that u heavily loaded suitcase strikes against mans leg.

SECRETARY OF
 LABOR FAVORS
 ARBITRATION
Right of Collective Bar gaining Has Endured the Stress of the War
 He Says.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-Coloniza tion by returned soldiers and sailors of large tracts of land under the di rection and with the aid of the Fed eral Government is recommended as a solution of many of the labor prob lens arising from demobilization by Secretary of Labor Wilson in his an nual report, made public recently The Government should, in the opin ion of MT. Wilson establish and equiI individual farms, which would be linked into community groups. The war has demonstrated the pa triotism and loyalty of American la bor the report says, and in the con tinuance of the spirit of sacrifice on the part of employer and em ployee shown during the war, Score tary Wilson believes Ties the hope for the further attainment and de velopment during the days of peace of that democracy for which we have taken up arms"
 The right of collective bargaining long recognized by the Department of Labor Secretary Wilson declares has been more widely established by reason of the war. He adds that ''if the principles upon which that agreement was founded can endure the stress of the war; it is fair to suppose that even greater success will attend their application during the calmer periods of peace"
 To solve the labor problems aris- ing from reconstruction Wilson recommends the continuation of the labor adjustment agency of the Ma tional War Labor Board. Agreements have been effected between labor and employers through this agency, the report says by which certain principles have been placed above further dispute.
 Agricultural areas should be pur. chased by the Federal Government and added to the public domain to provide land for the carrying out of the proposed colonization program for returned members of the military forces, the report asserts It is pro posed that administration of the pro. gram be directed by board con sisting of the heads of the Agricul ture, Interior and Labor Departments
 Legislation needed to carry out the plan. Secretary Wilson believes should include these provisions:
 The possibility of commercialized speculation must be eliminated.
 Colonists must be given access, not only to land, but to farms; not to the bare soil, but to fully equipped agricultural plants ready to operate.
 The farms themselves must be welded together into genuine com munities, by provision for roads. schools and markets, under the gen eral supervision of the Federal Gov. ernment.
 The Employment Service recruited for war industries during the year 1,S00,593 workmen
 The Bureau of Naturalization ad. mitted to citizenship during the year T total of 151,449 persons, decrease under 1917 of 1881.
