Ottawa reports the Canadian government steamship C D Howe will probably curtail its annual northern patrol due to pack ice and a labor dispute. The vessel built at Lauzon Quebec and launched from Montreal June 27 carries mail officials and supplies to 26 Arctic ports but repairs in Montreal leave the 12 000 mile route in doubt.
