Gifford and James 'Wannop against the City of Oshawa. This {action is taken against the City of [Oshawa on account of its alleged failure to prevent sewage from flowing into a stream which flows through the property of the three plaintiffs in the south-east section of the city. Gordon D. Conant, K.C., represented the plaintiffs in weekly court at Osgoode Hall, where the motion for adjournment to the time of the trial of the plaintiffs' action for a permanent injunction against the city at Whitby Supreme Court on November 19, was granted. Contrary to the statement made in. the report in yester- day's issue of The Times-Gaz- ette, this adjournment does not mean withdrawal of the motion for a writ of sequestration by the plaintiffs against the city. The heading that the writ was being withdrawn, and the state- ment in the report to that ef- fect were due to a misunder- standing of the issue. Withdraw- al of the motion was in no way involved in the 'proceedings at Osgoode Hall yesterday. OPP Head At Whithy Fired Too Sergeant D.

Would Trade Trieste For Armed Aid Rome (AP) -- Milan's usually- reliable weekly **Europeo" says to- day that Marshal Tito has agreed to give up his claims to Trieste in Office Staff Walkout May Shut Ford Windsor (CP) -- Complete stop- page of production was threatened at the sprawling plants of the Ford Motor Company of Canada today as office workers continued to picket the factory following their wildcat strike last night. Firing of one man and demotion of two others are reported to have started the walkout of some 50 men last night and refusal of some 800 members of local 240 United Automobile Workers (CIO) to re- port for work this morning. Company sources indicated to- day that the strike was a complete surprise and that no notice of the intention to strike was given. When company officials left negotiations yesterday, they said they expected the situation would be resolved through grievance procedure. The strikers made no attempt to stop production workers whose shift started in Plant One at 7.30 a.m. The picket line was pulled | back from the gate at that time | and moved back just before 1 a.m. when office warkers were due. The strike, union spokesmen say, | has nothing to do with negotiations | for a new contract which have | been going on since June and are | awaiting conciliation procedure. | The men work under a day-to-day | extension of the old contract while | the new one is being negotiated. | The unior says the company has | viclated seniority provisions of the | day-to-day contract.
