SHIPMENT OF COAL TO
 CANADA HAS BEEN STOPPED
By Fuel Administrator Garfield Be- cause of Shortage in the Northwest.

Washington, Oct 1.-An shipments of coal into Canada from American lake ports, were ordered stopped to- night by Fuel Administrator Garfield in order to divert coal from these ports and meet fuel shortage in the northwest.
 The order also directs that produc- CTS shall fulfill contracts for delivery of coal to Lake Erie ports for trans shipment, directs all handling agen- cles to expedite shipments and for bids the re-consignment of such coal to any points either in the United States or Canada other than the northwest.
 Dr. Garfield thus brought to an ab- rupt end a situa&cn that for weeks has been drawing bitter protests from the northwestern sthtes. The coal shortage there is acute and will be- come far more serious unless the sup ply flows steadily from now until lake navigation closes about two months hence.
 When the diversion of ccal to Can ada first was protested against, Dr. Garfield announced that the exports council would be asked to license no shipments to Canada without consul tat1on with the fuel administration. The Canadian buyers continued to drain the lake ports of their coal daily on Lake carriers, only about 53,- GOO tons have been reaching the northwest. To meet the needs of the section the daily shipments should average 100000 tons
 Today Senator Kellogg of Minneso- ta had a long conference with the ad- and urged that drastic ac- tion be taken immediately There followed the order through which Dr. Garfield, exercising the unlimited power over coal conferred upon him by the president under the food con- trol act, embargoes shipments to Can ada and directs the movement of coal in the United States
