SAYS PANAMA CANAL
 lNJURING RAILWAYS
By Associated Press

Washington, May 11.-Direct ex- animation of Julius Kruttschnitt, chair man of the board of the Southern Pa cific, was concluded tonight by the in terstate commerce commission in its investigation of the countrys railroad difficulties. He will, however, be re- called for cross questioning.
 Although emphasizing as on the first day of hIs examination, that high la Tor costs were foremost in the list of handicaps, which he said, were pre- venting the roads from making ade ouate returns on investment, or even meeting expenses, MT Kruttschnitt complained of competition favored by government subsidy" which the trans continental lines particularly were meeting. Constant increasing inter coastal traffic through the Panama canal, in part financed by the United States shipping board out of the United States treasury" was a prime factor, he said, while a second was the use of bile trucks on highways main tained by the state and national gov ernment which they destroy without making any payments.

LABOR WILL OPPOSE
 EXCISE TAX REPEAL
By Associated Press

Cincinnati, May 1.-The American Fed eration of Labor will oppose any attempt to repeal the present system of excise or 'luxury' tax and substitute sales tax
 This policy was decided upon by the executive council by the federation here today
 While no official announcement was made, the council it is understood, re- gards any effort to substitute sales tax for the excise tax as an attempt to shift the burden of taxation from capital to labor.
 Labor officials explained that organized labor believes that the present system of taxation is more equitable than that proposed calling for repeal of the excise taxes and substitution of a sales tax. They claim that the sales tax would net only place the burden of taxation upon the workers, but would add materially to the cost of living.

Gouernment WithdrawaL From
 Warrior Is Sought by Weeks
Will Endeavor to Transfer En-
 terprise to Private Corpora
 tions, and Sale of Equipment Would Probably Mean Re- movaI From Stream.
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The ARe-Herald
 800 DayidsOn Building

Washington, May 11.-(pecial.)-- is reported on excellent authority to- day that John w. Weeks, Secretary of War, will recommend the withdrawal of the government from the Mis- sissippi and Warrior river transpor- tation projects.
 It is the understanding that MT Weeks. as in the case of Muscle Shoals, will endeavor to transfer such enter prises to private corporations. The Alabama delegation, made aware oe the secretary's intention, initiated to- day a plan to cause an abandonment on the part of the secretary of his plans, and falling in that, 10 defeat them in Congress. t
 Should the recommendation Of
 the secretary prevail, the Warrior
 river equipment would be put on
 the market for navigation on the
 Warrior or elsewhere, and no more
 government funds would he avaiia-
 ble for the construction of tcrmf-
 nal facilities.
 Representative W. B. Oliver of the Sixth Alabama district stated today that the Alabama delegation would inn mediately interview Secretary Weeks and the President
 NOT GIVEN CHANGE
 "The commercialization of the War rior river" said he, twas an expert ment. Up to the present time the ex- pertinent has had no chance to prove 4tA fa 1,A tar ri showed an earning in April, and the future is unusually bright
 Tt was never our intention that the government should remain forever in the Warrior river, but it was our hope that the government would remain long enough for the experiment to have trial with all equipment under serv- ice, with terminals completed, and with an equitable rate schedule in actual operation. We feel sure that the Warrior will make good if the government will remain on the job a sufficient length of time"
 The majority of the members of the interstate and foreign commerce com mittee, before which the reeommenda ton of the secretary would go, Is un- derstood to oppose the ideas of the secretary, but the republicans who within themselves constitute a ma Jority, would weaken, it is evident were the administration 10 bring pressure to bear.
 The members of the delegation arc inclined to the view that the present IS the moment for the corporations ot BirminSham and Mobile to make us, of the Warrior. A favorable baianc, from May operations would unques ttonapiy have its effect Mir Olive; declart tonight.

Vision of Two Million Endowment for Auburn
 In Minds of Alumni, Faculty and Students

other members of the association ap peared before the executive committee, presented the plan and requested ap- proval
 1t is proposed to obtain the services of persons experienced in the work and give every person in the state an opportunity to have a part in the endowment While no date has been agreed upon. the de- mands of the institute call for the cam paign as soon as possible.
 ACTION NEEDED
 The Alabama Polytechnic institute has reached point where it must either go forward or backward" said Dr. Dowell, in commenting on the proposal of the alumni association and the action of the executive committee. The calls now being made on the institution cannot be answered, because it hasn't the buildings or the equipment. The agricultural work of Alabama is being centered around the institution, but it is not able to render the proper service to the state in this way because of the lack of buildings and equipment. The state has been as liberal with Auburn as its finances would per- init and funds must be obtained from other sources
 At this time temporary barracks erect ed during the war are being used. It will be necessary during the summer to construct additional temporary buildings to care for the new students who will enter this fall. The agricultural building, destroyed by fire last year, cannot be ie- built because the fund obtained from the insurance policy will no more than pay for one-half of the cost of rebuilding, and there is no appropriation which can pc used in this work.
 Auburn. the alumni of Auburn and the friends of Auburn have a vision -of the great work which can be done for the state by the institution, and we hope that this will be the means of providing the facilities for the work"
