FORCE NO SOLUTION

Cheyenne, Wyo.-In a speech in this
city President Harding acknowledged
that the administration erred when
it put guards around mines during
the last mine strike in the belief
that miners would then dig coal.
The mine operators insisted that
under law enforcement they could
produce all the coal that was needed,

ed, but no coal was produced. There
can be no coal mining in free Amer

II found that the Passion Play of
1922 not only failed to produce
enough money. Mr.. Waterman said
today, to carry on the activities of
the village, but had left it i'm
poverished. The prices of admission
rates at the hotels and so on, as
charged to- visitors, were all based
upon the monetary standard of the
previous year. and had been advertiS-
ed Therefore. the local authorities
would not permit the rates to be in
creased. For example, the price OF
the best seats at the time the play
was opened was 100 marks. which
meant about 80 cents in American
money. but by the time it closed in
September, the mark had fallen so
that the village was receiving 4
cents in American money for the best
seats. According to precedent the
expenses are first paid and the re-
mainder distributed among the
players. Anton Lang, as Christus,
received $1,000 marks for eleven
