To
BECOME: MEMBER
NATIONS LEAGUE

fsT MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wIRgl
Geneva Switzerland, May 16.--
Swiss citizens voted today in the
Alpine and plain canons for or
against Swiss adhesion to the
league OF nations. 1t was the first
referendum of a free country as to
whether it shall enter the league,
organized at the Paris peace con-
ference. All other countries now
forming part Of the league have
been committed to it by their rep
resentatives but without a direct
and specific mandate on this par
ticular question.
The balloting was conducted IN
the open air, the voters beginning
to arrive at the polls about II a.
m. The correspondent was present
at the voting in the little town of
Altd,orf in the Uri canton, made
famous by William Tell when no
league of nations formed part of
the platform and voting was con-
Quoted under the watchful eye of
soldiers bearing sharp swords and
heavy cross bows.
The voting officials stood on a
slightly raised platform in the CEN
ter of a blooming meadow. The cit
izens having congregated in the
market place mile away, the
clarion notes of a bugle brought
out the militia to form an avenue
through which the voters marched
to the voting place. Each voter
walked up five or six steps to the
official platform and deposited his
ballot in the box. At o'clock to-
night short prayer brought the
plebiscite or "landgemeinden" TO
an END, and the counting of the
votes began.

STEPS TO RAISE:
FREIGHT JAM To
Be TAKEN SOON
Government Is Expected to-
Take Action Within 48
Hours to Break Blockade
on Country's Railroads.

X tsY SoRHiRo JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,eEl
Washington, May 16. - There
were Indications tonight that the
s government would act within forty
3eight hours to break the nation
wide freight jam which for nearly
. a month has been slowly cleuching
| its grip on the throat of industry.
Sweeping orders by the interstate
commerce commission granting
prorf1y of shipment for food, fuel
and perishables We're confidently
awaited by railroad officials. They
expected the commission also TO
bar temporarily the transportation
of all dead freight so that neces-
saries could be rushed to communl-
: ties where shortages exist.
The commission was said to be
prepared to direct its whole effort
= to relieving traffic congestion. Its
experts have been instructed to
work in conjunction with the
american railway service car COM
mittee to assemble data on the sit
uation with a view to apportionins
the supply of cars where it would
do the most good. ..,
New Dangers Develop.
Appeals of the railroads for help
have brought to light new dangers
. in the sitaution. Developments in
. the last twenty-four hours showed
that a decidedly menacing condl-
. .tion confronted the commercial
world through the tie-up of the
financial resources of business
houses. Delay in movement or
products was declared to have
Ibrought many plants face to face
with imminent shutdown. Inter-
est rates at this time are so high
as to make it out OF the question
for most of the manufacturing con-
Germs borrowing to finance further
production, according to treasury
|officials. 1t was said the conges-
. ton was costing the nation mill
ions a day" through -produc-
Ition.
Wholesalers and retailers alike
are suffering through inability to
obtain delivery of goods, railroad
men said, and the resulting short
age threatens to become serious un-
less the government can break the
blockade.
Railroad officials reiterated their
declaration to Ego all the way" with
| the commission on any program.
What they want, they asserted, is a
lifting of the burden until they can
get on their feet.
The volume of freight of all
kinds offered for transportation
was said to be larger than the roads
ever had been called upon to han

HUN INDEMNITY
DECIDED upon
tsy soss,ss Iouss.. spso,.L LsA..o WIRE,


Hythe, Eng. May 1G.-The An
glo. French combination which has
succeeded the big four in the
management OF the allies dealings
with Germany, determined at to-
days session in the Sassoon villa
here upon the principles for the
settlement both of the German In
demnity and inter-allied debts.
The principles are that the fl
nancial experts Of the two govern
ments shall recommend a lump
sum for the indemnity and that
payments of the inter-allied debts
shall proceed parallel with Ger
many's payments. .....
This arrangement is a substitute
for Premier Millerand's proposal
under which most stress was la'a
upon the Immediate payment OF a
large sum to France. The French
delegation, however, appeared sat
isfied with the results OF their mis-
sion.
Yesterday morning they were so
confident of M. Millerands re-
quests would be granted that they
announced them as having been
agreed upon. r.
The present purpose of the 'big
two" is to present the experts pan

amount of time and the method OF
payment are yet to be consldereu'

The committee recommended that in
view of the reports of the special COM

cipal ownership and operation of the

by the City Council to be voted on at

the raise of the amount of bonds that
