A further i increase in production of basic com modities and a sMght increase in em ployment for February and early M:: rch were reported by the federal reserve board today. Wholesale and ; ; ribution also continu- I large during the period covered in the monthly summary of business conditions. Factory employment plone rose 1 per cent in r-'ooruary aner utciiuea in pay rolls in the three preceding months and. through a reduction in the part tfme employment, the aver-i age weekly earnings of this class 01 1 ; lal)or was about 5 per cent over uary. Building Activities, although some-j what lower in February than in Jan-i uary. appeared only to have slacken ed for a fresh start. The board said there had been a greater expansion j in the building program and the de- p-trlmtnt of commerce has reports, showing that probably the largest number of contracts have been ar ranged for the forthcoming season of, any recent year. Federal reserve1 board figures place the increase at 7 per cent over the same month a year ago. j The department of commerce fig- j tires cn production show that 275.- 118 tons of steel sheets were turned in February, while a year ago the production was anly about 2 o 7.000 tons.

SENATOR WHEELER HAS A 0EFEN0F.B A tack Upon Montana Man is Un warranted, Says Frank Korab, Former Montana Man. "The attack of the republican na tional colnmfttee in this morning's press dispatches upon Senator B. K. Wheeler of Montana is entirely un- just and warranted from the stand point of clean government," said Frank Korab. a former resident of Montana, but now a traveling sales- man with headquarters in Lincoln. "Senator Wheeler." commented Kor- ab in an interview, "is one of the tine upstanding citizens -who have fought a most vicious ring in Mon tana. "Senator Wheeler was not convict ed of any wrong doing during the war. He valiantly supported the war as United States district attor ney. He refused to arrest naturally every one whom the copper com panies pointed their finger at but he did catch some of these same com panies selling copper to Germany. The eopper eventually helped kill American boys. Strong forces, of course, were furious with him." "The copper companies tried to associate Wheeler with the I.

Tin eoopanies used the strike to force the government to iiiak a fixerl price of 27 cents a pound on copper. The pre-war pricej was 12 tents. Korab maintained that the so called trial of Wheeler before the stat.- counsel of defense was merely a kangaroo court. "I spent six weeks working lor the state counsel of de tensc making patrfotir addresses, be fore entering the army, so I favored the war. but not the Hog Island kind. The Montana council of de ense wax loaded with copper com pany sympathies and when they call ed on him to testify he frightened them with his exposures and they quickly let him go.

The mystery of the whereabouts of Grover Cleve land Bergdoll, notorious American draft evador, deepened today when officers of tne steamer DeutScKlaUd in Hn:-:hurg swore that nobody nam ed Bergdoll had booKed reservations on the ship scheduled to depart from Cuxhaven at noon Thursday for America. There seemed to be a concerted movement by friends and relatives cl" the slacker to conceal his move ments. Every effort was made in Eberbach. where Pergdoll has been Staying, to mislead correspondents attempting to verify a report that the draft ovr.der is starting back to the United States to face charges against him. Bergdoll, it was said, has no Amer- ican passport, but may have obtain- ed a German document under an as sumed name. johnson urn GHGES R1DI0 DISCRIMINATION Says Request of California Senator Eenied. But Shaw Permitted to Broadcast. Edward L. Bradley, in charge of the Omaha campaign of Senator Hi ram Johnson, complained Thursday that L. M. Shaw had been permitted to make a political speech for Cool idge over WOAW radio, while the same privilege was denied Senator Johnson. "We were told that no political speeches could be made over the radio," said Mr. Bradley. Orson Stiles of the WOAW station 'saul ne could not rememoer it jrau- ley had requested the same privilege Johnson thai was accorded Maw "There are so many things arising in connection with broadcasting that it is impossible to remember them all." he said. He said he had never heard of any rule barring political speeches. "When Mr. Bradley objected about the Shaw speech," he said, "I told hiai to come and taik to me personal ly, but he failed to do so." Shav.'s radio speech started at lt:30, following his speech at the Brandeis theatre. His talk was in the nature of a eulogy for Coolidge and a lambasting for Johnson. The radio announcer told those under the auspices of the Coolidge for President league. Bradley said Thursday that per mitting Shaw to broadcast was rank discrimination. He said he placed publicity work for Johnson in the hrnds of an advertising service, whose representative consulted the WOAW management relative to broadcasting Johnson's speech. "Word came back to me." he said, "that under no consideration would WOAW permit broadcasting of any knid of political speech whatsoever. The management sent word that Johnson's appearance in Omaha would be announced, but that the station could do nothing more than this for any political candidate or speaker." COMMENT IS MADE UPON RESIGNATION Senators Agree That Coolidge s Ac tion Late But Proper and in Interests of the Public. Washington. March 2S. Comment in the senate today over the presi dent's ac tion in asking Daugherty to resign was to the effect that Mr. Coolidge's action was late but prop- "It is an act in the interest of the public that has been too long delay ed," Senator Dill. Washington. ' This resignation," said Senator Adams, Colorado, "can hardly be re garded as preiuatun from the stand point of public service. I imagine Mr. Daugherty will now read the story of Jonah with sympathetic in terest." "It requires much moral stamina for a man to leave his position under the fire of charges such as beset Mr. Daucrlierty." Senator Stanlield. re publican, Oregon, said. "His resigna tion should not be taken as an ad mission of guilt. In due time he will be judged innocent or guilty by public opinion." Speculation immediately began about Daugherty's probable succes sor, as he asked that his resignation take effect at once. It was assumed President Coolidge would agree to this. Secretary of State Hughes has been advising the president on legal matters since Daugherty was put un der lire and it was suggested Hughes might be asked to take over the jus tice department. Senator Eorah, who was among the first to go to Mr. eny De asitea to step out. also was mentioned.
