HARDING PLANS FOR REOPENINC
 OF COAL MINES

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-It is au- thoritatively stated in governmental circles that President Harding is pre- pairing to take drastic action to bring an end to the crisis in the industrial life of the country brought about by the prolonged coal strike, now in it's fourth month. The President is rep resented as holding the opinion that inasmuch as the representatives of the United Mine Workers have definitely refused governmental arbitaration, and the bituminous operators are un- decided what to do about it, the in- terest of the public and the security of the nation demands an immediate reopening of the coal mines.
 The plan to be followed according to semi-official advices is for the President to direct the operators to immediately reopen the coal mines, under the protection of federal troops, and with the American flag planted at the entrance of every mine, to adver- tise the fact that the United States is on guard and will see that necessary fuel to satisfy the nations industrial life is mined.
 It is believed that for a short time the government will pay royalty on all coal mined because Of the emer- gency requiring extraordinary produc- tion without delay. The government plans that if not enough non-union workers appear to operate the mines, that a national call for volunteers will be issued, based on duty and pa, triotic service.
 Undoubtedly the same method will be used to deal with the. railroad strike situation if conditions do not soon change for the better. The govern ment feels more impelled to take this stand as far as the railroad men are concerned because of the refusal of the unions to obey the orders of the Railroad Labor Board. The latter is a governmental order, and the strike is therefore directed against the gov ernment agency, rather than against the roads themselves. The admins tration is determined not to be swerved from it's efforts to see that the consuming public and country $ industries get sufficient coal, and will do everything within it's legal powers to see that the coal is mined and that the railroads are allowed to haul it.

ORDERS OPERATIONS RESUMED

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-President Harding this morning sent telegrams simultaneously to all the coal mining districts in the country, directing all the operators in the bituminous fields to resume mining operations imme- diately. He also sent telegraphic re- quests to all the governors of the coal mining states asking that the states furnish such military protection as is needed, and stating that if the state troops are unable to cope with the sit uation federal soldiers may eventual ly be employed.

q generation back. when Miss virginis

John Clendenning was a co-star, was
asked the other day what he believes
ito be the cause of the depression In the
theatrical business"
"There are two contributing factors"
said the actor. "In the d-st place there
10 a scarcity Of money. People who arc
still employed are not earning the largo
uaiaries of last year and therefore can
not afford amusement at high prices.
The other cause my colleagues and I
In this cooperative company believe TO
be the adherence of managers TO the
bedroom farce idea. Theater patrons
like to feel assured before entering
playhouse that tho production Is clean
and iuoffensive.
I'VE believe we have solved the prob
lem for the piaygocr. To begin with
we have made an unprecedented reduc-
ton In seat prices. On Monday and
Tuesday evenings and "wednesday AFTER
Moons the best seats In this theater are
available for S1.b0 and there are hun
dreds of others to be sold for from 80
cents TO 81. And for the remainder OF
the week. holidays included, we ASK only
SO for the best seats. with the other
prices still prevailing for the cheaper
seats. Thus we get at the root Of the
difflculty--the playgoer's purse.
