Editorial Opinion
THE ROAD TO SETTLEMENT.

From the New York Tribune
The President has finally taken
the inevitable first step and called
the representatives Of the coal
miners and operators TO meet with
him at the White House tomorrow.
Thirteen weeks to a day after the
strike started the government will
take the initiative in bringing about
settlement. The cautious among
President Harding's followers are
careful to point out that he will not
use big stick, but 1t stands 10 rea-
son that Negotiations once started
under government auspices will be
pushed through. The initial move I'M
shoulderlng the responsibility of
forcing a settlement has apparently
been the most difficult. What follows
ought to come more easily.
There are three problems to be
faced. The first is the checking OF
the coal shortage by the immediate
resumption of mining. The second Is
the adjustment of the wage scale and
other details concerned in the pres
ent strike. The third is the beginning
OF a reorganization Of the entire coal
industry.
The first two OF these problems
may be settled as a direct result of
tomorrow's meeting. The President,
to whose nature mediation and
harmonizlng are congenlal, may be
able to bring both sides together
without exerting heavy pressure.
But this Is not enough. The question
of reorganization lies behind and
must be attacked by a commission.
That such body will result from
the coming conference seems GER
tain. Mr.. Hoover has not been study
ing the coal situation for months TO
no purpose.
Mr.. Harding's action, though
three months late. is welcome. 1t has
the support of the public and the
miners and of the more far-seeing
operators. Il should not take long to
get difident operators into line.
George F. Baer was strong and de-
termlned man. but in 1902 he was
not able to block a settlement when
President Roosevelt made the issue
clear.

unions mining all the hard coal that
is produced have not merely opposed
a downward wage readjustment that
would lower the price paid by the
| consumer for his hard coal; they
have insisted upon further wage
Increase that would make the already
heavily overburdened coal consumers
pay millions more for their .anthra-
cite.
The leaders of the bituminous
unions are striving not merely TO
hold up their wage scale. already so
inflated that 1t puts the union mine
with its dearer product out of the
market in favor OF the non-union
producer, whor with his cheaper
product, is now supplying 60 per
cent. of the country's soft coal needs;
the leaders of the bituminous unions
are striving as we'll 10 increase the
labor costs OF these nonunion mines
so that American consumers will
have to pay more for all soft coal.
The object OF the strike was to get
the inflated union wage scale intro
duced everywhere. The purpose Of
the union strike leaders at the Wash
ington conference is to get the in
fiated scale introduced everywhere
If all coal labor costs don't go up
the union cost must come down.
That 60 per cent. OF the country's
coal consumption capacity now taken
care of by the non-union product
tells why.
In a situation like this, where the
union leaders are determined that
coal prices shall go on up despite
defation in everything else. the mine
owners cannot surrender without
inspiring the public with the de-
termination. to take the national coal
business out of the control of the
men in whose hands it now lies.
A Federal arbitrator representing
the President-for the matter Of that
the President limself-could not de-
eide this coal dispute in such a way
as 10 raise coal prices when they
ought to be lowered. without launch
ing an irresistible public movement
for the naturalization of the coun-
try's coal mines.

IHARrrY ADMINISTRATIONS coon SHOWING

HARVEY ADMINISTRATIONS GOOD SHOWING
MAYOR HARvEY's administration of wmington's
WI affairs has been such as TO enable our city to close
the fiscal year with balance OF approximately $4,000
in the treasury
That showing is exceedingly pleasing TO the taxpay-
ers and to members Republican party who nat
urally are proud that Republican municipal admin
stration has closed fiscal with such graft
flying results.
That there a surplus instead OF the usual dencit is
due to the fine teamwork that has been done by the
several departments under the inspiration OF Mayor
Harvey and the members OF his cabinet
Instead Of spending all the money allowed them by
the budget FIVE OF the departments have turned back
into the general unexpended balances aggregatng
s61 OOO as follows; Water Department, $4,000;
Street and Sewer Department, $780, Department of
Public Safety $4,000; Harbor Commission. $4,000;
Public Buildings Commission, $1,000.
It also is gratifying the public to know that, as
result Of such fine management there will be, during
the next fiscal year no increase IN the tax rate.

RAILROADS. AND PROSPERITY

TIERE is important news for all who work. The
IL railroads announce that in the week ended June
10 they loaded $4,000 cars of freight
This was 3s.797 cars than in the correspond
ing 1919. during the big boom. The gain would
be around instead of 3s797, If coal were
moving normally instead of being held back by the
strike
Many in wilmington are wondering If a business
boom really is coming. Coming? 1t is here now in
many industries And is false alarm but some
thing that will be lasting greatly to the regret of GER
tain school Of political pessimists in Delaware.

is TT ABBOTT?

At first sight IL seems obvious
that this name. Abbott, or Abbot,
has some connection with the &C.
clesiastical rank so called. but good
authorities tells us that usually it is
derived from Abraham, which was
once a far more usual first name
among Englishmen than 1t is today.
In some cases It may be derived
from Abel. In either case the first
name is shortened to Alb and this
is used in the diminutive form Of
Abbott. In some cases. however,
it may have been derived from a
nickname and II is sometimes put
down with so-called pageant names
In various holiday games and rep
resentations there occurred char
acters designated as the abbot, and
one who had played such role
would possibly take the name as a
nickname.
Now as to the spelling. One
branch of the family in this country

say, before the Seventeenth Century
this was the form always employed.
Undoubtedly they will find plenty
Of examples of the single 49, in
early times, but there are certainly
also instances enough of the other
spelling.
The founder OF numerous Abb
bott and Abbot family here was
George Abbott, an English Puritan,
who came from Yorkshire, England,
about 1910 and settled in Andover
in Massachusetts, in 1643. In New
Jersey there is an Abbott family

one OF the constructive efforts
carried on by the State, in which all
Delawareans may take an interest
and may feel large measure OF
satisfaction is the work Of the state
Library Commission. Its history
year by year is one OF quiet, steady
growth. OF expansion so far as funds
permit. OF continued enthusiasm on
the part Of the borrowers.
The Commission has over one hun
dred small libraries which are sent
10 rural schools and other organiza-
tions. and IL also sends out automo-
biles carrying books over 2S different
routes to more than 100 families.
At the January meeting OF the
Comm ission. held at its headquarters
in Dover. the annual report OF the
Librarian, Miss Ida V. Culbreth,
gave an interesting survey Of this
work. Miss Culbreth said in part;
During 1921 the travelling libra
ries were circulated 129 times. OF this
number III were IN schools and is
with organizations: 1874 books we're
loaned to 675 individuals making a
total OF sos requests for books and
libraries end 741O volumes were sent
out from ais Office. While there Is
no great evidence OF the number OF
free libraries in the state being in
creased. the women's clubs are in
terested in their club libraries and
reading rooms, and number OF
them are using our travelling libraries
and books for special readings. We
also have libraries on the Pilot Boat
'Philadelphia. the Maritime Ex-
change. Lewes. and the Edge Moor
Social Association.
"The year 1921 was a very full
one with the book wagons. and II we
are to judge by all that has been
said in praise OF the work, the inter
EST displayed by the Librarians the
help they have given. the thorough
enjoyment and helpfulness OF the
books. il may indeed be considered
a most successful one. The follow
ing statistics for the year exceed in
number any previous year. 29S
trips were made over the % routes
in the safe. 02 more thar n 1899;
1107 homes we're visited. 152 more
than in 1920; and 2s,51s volumes

Persons interested in this work
realize as never before that statistics
do not tell the whole story. The
reports OF the automobile libra
rians show great devotion and en-
thusiasm and are rcfreshingly full OF
human interest. abounding in com
ments such as these:
