 WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-In- creases in many lines of business and industrial activity in December, de- spite the seasonal tendency to de- cline, were noted in the monthly survey in the department of com merce, made public today. Trans portation improvement, it was said, permitted heavier shipments of many commodities than in Novem- Der, particularly in building ma terials. The survey described the inn mediate outlook as bright, and saw little effect on domestic conditions from the disturbed foreign situation.
 December retail sales were of rec ord proportions, the survey stated, and indications were that this pros perity was being maintained in Janu- ary, with prices relatively stable. Agricultural products advanced in price in December, 1t added, bring ing them more into line with other commodities, and while cotton con- sumption declined from the Novem- Der high mark, and silk consumption

 Pig iron production increased, as did sales of fabricated structural steel, though a seasonal decline in the latter had been expected.

BOWIE SEES LITTLE
 DELAY IN PORT BUILDJNG

When s. J. Bowie returned to Bir- mingham Thursday night he ex- pressed confidence that the develop ment of Mobile port would be got ten under way with practically lit tie delay, despite legal obstacles that now apparently obstruct issuance of the bonds. MT. Bowie, in a state ment over the telephone to The Age Herald, said that considerable time would be required in any event to complete the plans. and he predicted that by the time these plans are completed all legal obstacles would be removed. It may be six months. or possibly year. he said, before all preliminary details are straight ened. out and work ready to start In the meantime. he said. prelimi nary work is going forward.
 We have the moral authority of the people of, Alabama to proceed with the preliminary work" said Mir. Bowie. "Of course, no contracts will be let. but everything will be in readiness to do so when the word is given. There will be practically no delay, therefore. whatever is de- cided regarding the constitutioaality of the bond issuance"

 MAKING PROBE IF CH AR GES
Ku KluX No Longer lndiffer- ent to Accusations Made Against National Body.
 Will Make Defense of
 Accused Members
By Associat . Press

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Imperial Wizard Hiram Wesley Evans, who, with other imperial officials of the invisible empire, Knights of the Ku KluX Kan, arrived here today to investigate reported action by the city council against Klansmen, de- clared tonight that the Klan had dis carded it's policy of indifference to attacks and in the future will vigor- ously defend the Klan and it's mem bers against unwarranted attacks or discrimination.
 Action in the case of reports from Chicago that firemen and other city employees were discharged because of their utilization with the Klan will depend on how true he finds these re- ports to be, the imperial wizard an- nounced. He refused to outline any plan of action until he and other officers had more thoroughly inves- tigated local conditions.
 Will Present <Ian's Side
 Comment on the Mer Rouge, La, investigation would not be made, he said. until he had time to analyze the statements of state officials of Louisiana carried in press dispatches during the day IIlan officials had remained away from Mer Rouge, he said, because he did not wish to ham per the investigation in any way. The klan's side of the case, he said. will be stated tomorrow.
 The repoiqed action Of the Chicago council conhmittee= against city em- ployes because they might be klans- men was the first tangible action upon which he could make an answer to the charges against his organiza- ton, Evans declared
 We will throw the entire weight of our membership behind any klans- man, regardless of who he is, If he is denied the ordinary rights of citizen ship" he declared. "The same power will be ;sel in behalf of man who is not a klansman, but who may suf- fer because he is believed to be q member of the klan.'
 DepIorcs Activities
 "The vicious, unfounded reports in volving the klan as an organization in activities the l1lan deplores equal ly as much as every law-abidng citi- zen, can and will not be suffered by the national organization as a req son for discreditlng any honest pub lie servants, who, perchance. might be klansmen."
 The imperial wizard is accompanied on his investigation trip here by Ed ward Young Clarke, imperial giant; r. l.. Savage, imperial klaliff, and Paul Etheridge, imperial klonsel.

Conference Between Governor and Harbor Board Decides to Await Action of the
 Legislature
STATE CAPITAL BUREAU I
 THE AGE-HERALD !

Believing that the constitutional amendment providing for the devel- opment of Alabama's only seaport at Mobile is sufficient to authorize the state to issue bonds for the construc- tion of port facilities, the state har- bor commission and Governor Bran- don Thursday decided not to request the legislature to submit another amendment or to pass enabling acts during the short session.
 Instead of proposing further DOT, .iegisiation those interested in the development Of the port at Mobile
 will urge the legislature to pass without delay the administration request the supreme court for ar opinion regarding the validity and corstitutionality of any Legislation enacted or proposed. If this bill be- comes a law during the short session Governor Brandon will be author ized to call for an opinion regarding the power of the state government under the port amendment.
 Hinges On Supreme Court
 If the supreme court holds that the amendment is not broad enough to permit the issuance of state bonds another amendment can be submitted during the adjourned session. If .he amendment is broad enough the leg islature can pass enabling acts which will provide for the issuance of bonds and will throw the proper safeguards around the expenditure of public funds in the development work.
 In the conference which resulted in the development of the plan of &C., ton were all members of the harbor Mayor R. V. Taylor of Mobile. Senator J. Nj. Foster of Tus- caloosa. administration floor leader in the senate, and Governor Brandon
 Bowie's Opinion.
 Following the conference Sidney Bowie of Birmingham, member of the harbor commission. explained the plan. Many lawyers of ability are of the opinion that the constitutional adopted at the November election gives the state authority to issue bonds for the development of the state seaport said MT. Bowie "They Further believe that it is now only necessary for the legislature to pass the enaDllnE act such as an act the form of the state credit to be used in furthering the development and an act throwing such restriction around the work as will protect the interest of the state
 If this opinion. which is held by some of the best lawyers of Ala bama, can be accepted by the su- preme court it will not be necessary for the state to suffer the delay and go to the expense of submitting the amendment again. Therefore the decision has been reached that the best plan is to postpone any legisla- tion until the adjourned session and to urge the legislature tC pass the bill which will give the governor the right to request the opinion of the supreme court regarding the consti- of any legislation en- acted or proposed.
 Governor Brandon agreed to urge the members of the legislature to adopt this method in the hope that discussion regarding the right of the states to issue port bonds may be ended without the submission of another amendment
