OSHAWA UAWA, DIRECTOR CHARGED IN WINDSOR GOURT George Burt, One of 46 Men Arrested at Chrys- ler Plant Late Yesterday Windsor, Nov. 14 (CP)--Bail of $200 each for 13 men and of $100 for 33 men was set by Magistrate D. M. Brodie in court today when 46 men, including former employees of the Chrysler Corporation appear- ed on charges of illegal picketing. Higher bail was asked of men who were re-arrested when out on bail on similar charges. Geo. Burt of Oshawa, regional director of the U.AW.A.-C.I1.0. for Canada, was one of the 46 men. Magistrate Brodie cautioned the mn against picketing while on bail and sald that if convictions were made, each offence would be treated separately and consecutive terms imposed. Cash bail was demanded, instead of personal recognizances as in former cases. Picketing began when the employees walked out over a matter of seniority. Charges against the men were laid under the Defence of Canada Regu- lations through a section which forbids loitering in the vicinity of a protected place 'after being request- ed by an appropriate person to leave such premises." Picketing at the plant began last Friday following a dispute regarding seniority between company officials and members of the Windsor local of the United Automobile Workers of America. The plant had been de- clared an "essentiii] service" by an order-in-council of the Federal Gov. ernment last July. The 46 men: were dtrested yester- day after they. refused to disperse from a picket line at the order of police, Thirteen of those arrested had previously been arrested on the same charge last Monday and were free on bail, pending a court appear- ance Nov. 20, TRANSPORT STRIKE TROUBLE LANDS 10 MEN IN COURT Five Remanded i in Toron- to on.

Official sources were uncommuni- cative about the bombsight, except to stress that the army and navy had no intentions of releasing the prized, new sighting mechanism which is rated as one of the coun- try's most important military sec- rets. There were authoritative hints, however, that an earlier and highly effective type of bombsight may be made available to the British.

Instead, the dominion was "mesmerized by home defence" although defence of Britain was vita] to Canada.

"Output can increased 20 per cent. by ring days a week in place of five days. It seems clear that this should be the first step, if the point is reached when the slack of unemployment has been taken up and the increasing speed of industry has been utilized to the fullest practical extent."
