Washington, May l6-There were in- dcatons tonight that the government
 would act within forty-eight hours to

 power vested in it by the transportation
 act They expected the commission also
 to bars temporarily the transportation
 of all dead" freight so that necessaries Of life could be rushed to communities where shortages soon will exist,

 Interest rates at this time are so high as to make that course out of the question for most of the manufacturing concerns, according to treasury officials, It was said the congestion was costing the ma ton millions day" through under production.
 Wholesalers and retailers alike are sur , fering through inability to obtain de- livery of goods due for monil or more, railroad men said. This has caused a shortage in some lines which threatens to become serious unless the sovernmene can effectively break the blockade Railroad officials reiterated ther acc la ration to go "all the way with the commission on any programme

ing Of the latter was made neces-
sary by the damage done to the old
