MONTREAL, Feb. 9 _. Canada was out in the cold yesterday-out fighting dos- ens of fires, beating the cold Atlantic, getting its ears frozen, The weather, appar- ently, won only the minor battles with its expansive wave of frigidity. Hardy Canadians with red faces and no aversion to zero won the major events.

An almost unprecedented blanket of below-zero tem- peratures covered Eastern Canada, covering all of 0n- tsrio, Quebec and the Marl- times. for the second straight day. It was so.cold most of the East talked of little else but the weather and did its best to keep indoors.

All Domestic C-Io-n-tracts Taken Over, Following Senate In- quiry Into Fraudulent Practices.

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 0—The United States Government today took the busineu of flying mail from all the twelve concerns with which it held domestic contracts and ordered the agency which first fiew it, the army, to again take up the work,

The blanket abrogation of ecu- trsots, effective Rb. 10, followed presentation to Mr. Roosevelt of evidence gathered by a Senate committee in a long study of the circumstances surrounding the 1st. ting c! the contracts during pre- "W-I RfiW-bliosn administrations.

Mr. Roosevelt instructed post- master general James A. Farley to end the contracts and immediately issued an executive order placing the army air service st the dis- position of the Post Office Depart- ment. Bs also arranged with Sec- retary Daniel C. Roper to make available to the army-mail ships all landing fields under the regu- M100 of the cornmercs depart- rnent.

The ruling of the Department of National-Revenue was anthracite coal was of a class ‘or kind not produced in Canada.

“Where is anthracite coal pro- duced in Canada?" Mr. Neill was asked.

"In Banff, Alberta," he rcplicd. True only 900 tons was produced s ear but that was enough to en- ab Canada to impose a dump on British anthracite.

The British anthracite was s. real danger to the mines of British Columbia. The British Government subsidised the miners and the purine rates to Vancouver cc take away wheat s-nd lumber were only about one third regular rates This meant British miners were really srsbsidized twice.
