VOTE. THREATENS
!. MACDONALD RULE
Liberals viii Refrain From
,BaIIoting on Thomas Gen.
sure Motion Today.
~ In. Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 3s.-The second Brit
ish Labor government faced Q battle for
its life today without the aid Of So
Liberal votes on which they have de-
pended heretofore to maintain q ma
iority In the House Of Commons.
The parliamentary Liberal party,
meeting yesterday voted to abstain
from voting on the Conservative motion
Of censure leveled at j. H. Thomas, lord
privy seal and minister for unemploy-
ment
The action left Labor alone to con-
front the Conservatives. While the Mac
donald government numbers a voting
strength of 288 against 262 Conserva-
tives, with z Independents, the out
come of today's battle would seem to
lie with the Socialist left wing members,
who last week in secret parliamentary
party meeting voted no confidence in
Mr.. Macdonalds leadership.
These left wingers number 20, and by
refraining from voting or by voting
against the government probably would
bring Its defeat, and subsequent disso-
luton of Parliament and a call to the
country in q new general election.
Among complicating factors which
friends OF the government believed
would enable 1t to withstand the storm
were the present unwillingness of all
three parties to undergo the burden of
another general election at this time,
probability that some of the Conserva-
tive strength viii be absent. that If gov
eminent defeat seems imminent, some
Liberals will 60 into the government

Labor strength will not oppose the gov
eminent in actual Commons division.

Up to this year the Rock Island
has made steady progress since the re-
organization in 1917. All the bonds now
enjoy high investment rating, the
preferred stocks are sound and the
common stock has a large following.
During the first half of 1880 earnings
have fallen OF, as they have for nearly
every other railroad, and the margin
of safety for the common dividend has
been lowered correspondingly Never
theleSs, the Rock Island has made a
good showing. In April, for instance,
net operating income was the highest
for that month on record and from
the present outlook between $40 and
$11 will be shown for the common.
This estimate will, of course, be re-
viSed upward or downward, according
to the trend of traffic.
Probably the most interesting of the
bonds is the AZ per cent convertible
issue of 1860 offered to stockholders
in March of this year. On and after
May /, 1881, these bonds will be con-
vertible into common stock at 1876, a
price much above the present market,
but one which might easily be reached
in more prosperous times, In which case
the bond would reflect in its market
quotation the conversion privilege.
Meanwhile, the holder is sure of his
Az per cent.
There are two issues of preferred
stock, per cent, redeemable at los,
and per cent, redeemable at 1902.
Both of them are attractive from an
income standpoint, but neither can be
expected to advance much above the
price at which 1t is callable. The pres
ent dividend rate on the common is
81 annually, to which basis 1t was in
creased in March, 1929. No dividends
were paid on the junior shares from
1917 to March, 1927, when the stock
was placed on SIS basis, increased to
$6 in March, 1928, and to 81 a year
later. Working control of the Rock
Island is understood to rest with the
st. Louis-San Francisco, with which
road the Rock Island is associated in
the latest Interstate Commerce Com
mission consolidation plan.
1t only remains to add that the man
agement is experienced and aggressive
and that the territory served Is one
with vast possibilities for growth.
