Rock Island President Urges Merger
Rock Island president R. E. Johnson calls on stockholders to vote yes on the Rock Island Union Pacific merger. A two thirds majority of common shares is needed and the Interstate Commerce Commission must find the deal in the public interest and fair to both sides. Johnson says the Rock Island should join a strong coast‑to‑coast line, while arguing the railroad needs capital to modernize amid a shrinking cash position.

Fumes From Crude Oil Causing City Complaints
Crude oil fumes from a partially burned barge tied below Kent Feeds caused city complaints as fumes spread from the riverbank into homes. Seventeen calls to police by Tuesday night and twelve more by this morning noted the issue. The barge, damaged by Friday’s explosion at lock 16, carried part of a 15,000 barrel cargo, and one crew member died. Harold Ary said oil would be transferred to another barge for shipment to Pine Bluff, with transfer equipment due locally.
