AUBURN SUMMER SCHOOL OPENS WITH
 AN OVERFLOW CROWD

Auburn, June -(Special) The ninth annual summer school at Au- burn opened this morning when stu dents began enrolling from all parts of Alabama, and some from other states, and long before night the col lege dormitory was filled, making it necessary to see kshelter in the private boarding houses of the town Director E. V. Judd of the summer school states that all previous records for the opening day has been broken with indications that this summer school will eclipse those of former years In every way.
 As in the past most of the students are girls but at the present the exact percentage cannot be ascertairfed. very encouraging indication to date is that most of the summer school students are college students and that they will be taking college credit work, thereby either hastenIng the time of their graduation or making up back work which will enable them to graduate on time.

Fly HoL LAND.

New York, June 6. Especially Calvin Coolidge. Vice Presideno of the United States, has joined with others who can speak with authority in the statement that the industrial situation in the country is improving. He be- lieves that it. can be steadily i'm proved until real prosperity returns to remain for several years at least. He, however, is of the opinion that not until the railroads of the United States are so operated as adequately to handle transportation and at rates which VII be satisfactory both to those who buy transportation and to those who have invested their money in the railroads will the prosperity have been established.
 report has prevailed in this city for some weeks that the vice pf esident has at cabinet meetings at which he has been present and in other ways urged such action on the part of the administrat ton, Congress and the peo- pie as would tend speedily to relieve the railroads from their embarrass- ments. There is in fact a surmise that the recent informal, unexpected and without precedent call which President Harding made upon the in terstate commerce commission may have been due in part to his agree ment with the views which the vice president has expressed.
 The Question of Wages
 The Vice President Is in full agree ment with many of the able men who are directing industry in the view which he holds respecting the rate of wages. But he is the first of any of those who are now in a high official station who has ventured to say that too much emphasis has been put upon the rate of wages. He goes farther, saying that the employer does not care how high wages are if only he can profitably market his output and if the rate of wages corresponds with the amount of production the wage earner gives.
 This is the view taken by Judge Gary. In one of the addresses de- livered by George w. Perkins a year or two before his death. he said that employers did not object to the pay ment of high wages if only the out put delivered by the wage earners corresponded with the wages Years ago Abram s. Hewitt shortly before he began service as mayor of New York told the representatives of the British iron and steel industry that in the United States much higher wages were paid to the workers in this industry than the English work men received. And yetain spite of high wages and partly because of them the united States was taking away the

 OTHER PETITIONS UP

Montgomery. June tSpeciaD -Tae petition of the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern railroad for permission to make increases in rates on rosin and turpentine between Fairford and Mo bile was granted by the public service commission today. No person appeared to oppose the petition and no protest was received throusn the mail.
 The commission heard and took un- der advsement the petition of the
 Mobile and Ohio railroad for per- mission to revise the rates on wood intended for fuel on it's lines in Ala Dama No one opposed this petition The company offered testimony tc show that it's rates on this commodii9 are not on paraty with the rates on inlrastate ra.es and showed that there would be some increases, bat that the general schedule would show a decrease rather than an in crease.
 J. II. Glenn, acting as general agent for the railroads operating in Alaba ma, presen,ed testimony in support of his petition for the establishment Of the same rates on carload shipments of grain anu grain products and for che establishment of the same rules ana TOT lHt HduuiluS Ol grain products as are permitted now by the interstate commerce commis- sion on interstate shipments of the same commodities. b. 5. Browder of Montgomery gave the testimony in support of the petition. while no one appeared in opposition.
 The commission also heard and took under advisement the petition of the Atlantic Coast Line railroad for per mission to close the agency at Printo. the contention being that the earnings of the station at this point are not sufficient to meet the cost of main taining it. Two cii:zens of Printo op- posed the petition on he ground that the agency is necessary for the proper handling of the shipments from and to this station.
 All other cases which had been set for hearing at this session of the com mission were postponed until later this month or until the July session. Among the cases which went over were the petitions of tine Alabama Water Company and allied organizations fo the adjustment of water rates at At talla. and Jasper.

Willard, president of the Baltimore
ByHILL

Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio.
 President Willards testimony was free from technicalities and was set forth in such manner as to make 1t easy to understand by any citizen of reasonable intelligence. He was free from censure. He didi not criticise gov- ernmental direction of the railroads, recognizing that this was carried on in the time of imperative emergency. He made it plain however that he is able to correct some m S. statements, due to misunderstanding which have been made. There was a good example of this in his reply to statement made by Senator Capper who said that the rate on wheat from Kansas City to New York was 30 cents per bushel, while the rate on wheat from the Argentine to New York was 10 cents per bushel. From one point of view Senator Capper's statement was cor rect, MT. Willard admitted, but from another point of view it was far out of the way. People do not eat wheat, but they eat flour. Wheat does not grow near the ocean ports. It grows inland even in Argentine Therefore so pounds of flour in New York ready to eat costs a little over 33 cents for transportation from Kansas City, but like amount of flour if it came from Argentine would cost nearly 49 cents
 This of itself was a slight matter, but President Willards testimony upon it illustrates the skill, thorough ness and fairness which have charac- terized all his testimony. The hear irsgs before the Senate committee and the coincident statement in point of time which the Vice President has made will, 1t Is assumed, concentrate the attention of the public upon the vital necessity in the public's own in- terest of putting the railroads in a position where they can make living and be able to transact public business at reasonable expense

Daily Financial Gossip

prestige which Great Britain had gained as the leader in the iron and steel industry of the world. That was possible because the American wage earners were at that time delivering d dollars worth of output for every dollar in wages which they. received.
 A Profound Yet Simple Philosophy
 In a few words the Vice President sets forth the profound yet simple philosophy which is contained in all the testimony given by railroad execu- tives to the Senate committee on in- terstate commerce which Is now sit ting. The Vice Presidents statement might be accepted as a corollary to the testimony given by Julius Krut- tschnitt, Howard Elliott Daniel Will lard, Samuel Req and other master minds in the direction of American railroads. The Vice President says that conditions must be adjusted so that the railroads can make a living and be able to transact public busi- ness at a reasonable expense. When that Is accomplished, then prosperity is assured. For in the Vice Presidents opinion the railroad proble is the key to the industrial situation. The rail- roads represent an investment of bill lions in capital and those who have invested this capital are now suffer ing more or less because the railroads are embarrassed. Then again the rail- roads employ hundreds of thousands from the most mena1 of workmen up to the highest grade of executives.
 Some Highly Important Testimony
 It is significant that the Vice Presi- dent should have made this statement while railroad executives who are among the leaders in transportation service should have been testifying to the Senate interstate commerce com mittee It is also significant because with the exception of Colonel Roose- welt when he was Vice President no one of the predecessors of Vice Presi- dent Coolidge has in any conspicuous way identified himself with important public questions. Roosevelt did this when he sounded the keynote of op- position to what he termed the en- croachment of the trusts and the dan ger that the control of government would pass exclusively into the pos session of great organized capital.
 The testimony before the Senate in terstate commerce committee has, it is understood here, fully justified the investigation now undertaken by this Senate committee. All of the testi- mony has been in the highest degree important. In New York those who have been following the daily reports of this testimony speak with special admiration of the masterly presenta- ton of the railroad perplexities, the causes of them and the possibility of eliminating them which characterizes the testimony of Howard Elliott, chair man of the board of the Northern Pacific Railroad company, and Daniel
