After viewing the body this morning and ordering it removed, Coroner Dr. Roy W. Graham said that it was unlikely that there would be an inquest but that there probably would be a post mortem examina- tion. Until the examination is perform- ed the cause of death will not be known exactly. It was thought pos- sible, in view of the fact that the body came to the surface of the water in so short a time, that Mr. Chuhanik might have succumbed to a heart attack. Surviving are one son, Michael Sworik, 78 Albert Street, and two brothers, Peter and Michael, both of Blane, Saskatchewan. His wife, formerly Annie Sworik, died in Osh- awa in 1944.

PROGRAM (Continued on Page 12) Milk Producer Boosts Chest Fund An unexpected donation, from a visitor to the city from out- side, this merning gladdened the heart of Murray P. John- ston, Community Chest Cam- paign Manager. The donor was William E. Jamieson, milk producer of R.R. 2, Whitby. While in the city yesterday eve- ning he stopped to talk to a local service station. 'To the operator he mentioned that he was greatly impressed by what he had read in the press about the Community Chest. "I don't live in Greater Oshawa," he said, "and none of the organi- zations in the chest are of any help to me, but they are doing such fine work that I would like to help. How can I make a donation?" The service station operator called Murray Johnston on the telephone, and he conversed with Mr. Jamieson, telling him to leave his donation at the service station, whére it would be picked up this morning, and thanking him for his kindly thought. This morning Mr. Jamieson's donation was picked up and added to the fund. It was a cheque for $25. Community Chest McKinnon Case Left To Nov. 12 St. Catharines, Oct. 28--(CP)-- Hearing a charge against Local 109 United Auto Workers (C.I1.0.) that they called an illegal strike at McKinnon Industries during 'the terms of an existing agreement was adjourned this morning. Magistrate H. D. Hallett, who had been served with a motion of prohibition stating that the ques- tion of his jurisdiction in the case would be heard before a Supreme Court of Ontario judge Nov. 5, ruled that he could not proceed with the present trial until the matter of his Jurisdiction had been settled. The case will again be called Nov. 12, if the ruling allows it. Ar Board of Works Garage Building Fast Taking Shape NO DECISION ON McKINNON PLANT STRIKE | St. Dattiartins Oct. 28 --(CP)-- | Another lengthy session in the dis--| cussions between representatives of McKinnon Industries and General | Motors labor relations department Local (CIO) and Canadian and American representatives of the U.A.W. on the other side, was held Wednes- day. The discussions continued to ex- |! plore the position of each of the two interested parties, and no de- cisions as to settlement of the strike was reached. No comment on the talks was released by either side. Company spokesmen said today that while no further talks are def- initely scheduled, they were ready to meet the union at any time and will await word from the union re- garding further meetings. Union officers said that a policy commit- tee meeting of Local 199, UAW-CIO would be held this afternoon, and would make no further comment until it is held. Today the union is appearing as defendant in a court case being heard before Magistrate H. D. Hal- lett that fhe present strike was called illegally during the terms of an existing agreement, which the company contends is effective until Nov. 1 of this year, this coming Monday. The union, contending that wages were not a part of the collective agreement, but a separate issue, claim their strike is legal. Permis- sion was given the company to prosecute the union last Aug. 26. Delay in pressing the charge was brought about by the hope that an amicable settlement could be reach- ed by negotiations, which so far, despite several series of talks both here and in the Toronto office of Hon, Charles Daley, Ontario Min- ister of Labor, have mot brought about a satisfactory arrangement.

Officials here realize that the im- | portant political committee has too | much work before it to expect final decisions to be taken before Christ- mas. The plan, as considered now, would be to adjourn the Assembly but keep the political committee in permanent session in New York. When it has finished its work a plenary session would be called to give final approval to any decisions reached. The palestine question, it is learn- ed, would be one of the subjects which 'would be shelved during the present session and left to the poli- tical committee to consider during the first two months of the new year. One of the factors which affects this particular question is the fact that any new United States admin- istrations would not assume full control until Jan. 20. In the interim period, American observers say, it would be difficult U.N. PLANNING (Continued on Page 2) Grant Extension Pole Injunction Mr. Justice McFarland in Os- goode Hall today continued the injunction restraining the Osh- 'awa Public Utilities Commission from removing the poles from King Street until April 28, 1949. The injunction was continued at the request of the Oshawa Railway Company. In the original application the Oshawa Railway Company ask- ed for an order to restrain the P.U.C. from removing the poles. The pole removal was a part of the P.U.C. program to clear Oshawa streets of, unsightly poles. The railway company claimed that removal of the poles would hamper operations of their shunting trains along King Street. Both the original injunction and the extension were granted with the consent of both parties. NET PAID CIRCULATION The Times-Gazette Average Per Issue September 1942 8,592 the Soviet monitor.
