Few Defaults Due
On Bond Interest
At First of Year
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. December 21.-Bond In
terest defaults will be fewer in number
January /. than they were In any of
the important interest-collecting months
this year. in the. opinion Of financial
authorities.
A survey Of the interest situation by
the Fitch Investors Service indicates
that no important defaults are definite
ly expected. although some uncertain
ties may be found among the large
number Of domestic railroad and indus
trial companies which are due to honor
interest coupons on that date,
No default Is indicated in the rail-
road field, says the service, except as
to one comparatively small system
which Is In receivership, and which was
delayed somewhat In meeting Its July
interest
The utility list Is represented as hav-
ing several uncertainties, although, as
the service puts it, there appears a
reasonable chance for regular pay
ment." No defaults are expected in the
industrial field In spite of a few situa-
tions which seem a bit doubtful.
Holders of some of the dollar bonds
Of foreign countries will not receive the
full amounts of interest due them, but
in most cases the adjustment" al
ready have been made known.

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, Oct.
3.-State and county authorities
today continued their efforts to
solve the mystery surrounding
the death of Harry E. Wilson, a
produce salesman, found dying on
the MartinSburg- -Williamsport pike
near here early Sunday.
Two arrests have been made
and one man was later released.
He was Joseph Snapp, of this
city. The other is James v.
Zepp, at whose home in Williams
port, Md, Wilson was said to
have visited Saturday night. They
were booked "for investigation"
Wilson's death was first be-
lieved an accident but examina-
ton of his wounds led to the
belief that he might have been
thrown from a car. He was
found by a Maryland motorist
but died before medical assistance
could reach him.
Wilson was a native of Mt.
Airy, Md, and a Widower.

NEW LABOR ROW
THREATENS

Refusal of contractors to ac.
cept the two,Shift, four-hour dav
for ironworkers may halt work on
five Federal buildings here and
delay the installation of the
Gompers memorial, it appeared
today.
The ironworkers of this city,
because of the lack of work in
their trade, voted to institute a
four-hour day in order to give work
to as many persons as possible.
But the contractors have refused
to recognize the two-Shift plan,
and insist on employees working
eight hours a day.
If the contractors refuse to
yield it was forecast that con.
struction of the Federal buildings
on which they are engaged would
be indefinitely halted. It also ap-
peared probable that the Samuel
Gompers memorial, which was
built by the same contractors,
could not be installed Saturday as
a feature of the A. F.. of L. con.
vention program.

The United States always has
done for us "the dirty work, !"
organizing the island, leaving us
a sound treasury and a good
sanitary department and leaving
us free. If she had wanted
Cuba as a colony she could
have had it long ago.
Plea For Help
Anyone who considers Ameri-
Oan interest in our affairs a
menace to our sovereignty is
either very ignorant or absolutely
blind.
Cuba not only was left to her
self after the Spanish-American
War, but for years later when
our President Balms asked for
aid, there was a perfectly legiti-
mate reason for Americans re-
manning in Cuba.
So I, as a Cuban, says!
eve need Americas help.
Let's plead for it instead Of
refuse it."
