DISGOVERTHEFTlN BOYS' SPENDING SPREE Trio Flashing Money Reveal Robbery of $145. The theft of $145 was discovered, solved and disposition of the three guilty youths made in short order by Oil City police on Sunday. The three boys, aged 11 to 13 years, were questioned Sunday evening about a spending spree they had engaged in during the day, and confessed to the robbery from the Orange Grill, 275 Seneca Street. The theft took place early Friday evening, but the missing currency was not noticed until police informed the proprietor Sunday.

One of the young trio is being held by juvenile authorities and will be committed to a correction institution. Another was paroled to his grandfather, of Cleveland, and the third boy remains at home. The money was taken from a desk drawer near the front of the grill. One of the lads entered the place and lifted the money while the other two stood outside the front entrance.

Of their funds they hid $73 under the tin can storage bin at Center and Plumer Streets, where police found it, and they had on their persons.

UP Except for about 4,500 miners who remained on strike, a rebellion against a back-to-work order by United Mine Workers of America has ended today among Pennsylvania's soft coal diggers and operators were expected to he normal tomorrow. A major break in the opposition of the miners working without a contract or pay raise came yesterday as thousands observed the Independence Day holiday by returning to the pits. It was estimated that 34.000 miners were idle yesterday in contrast to 47,000 idle Saturday.

The return of the miners aided the coal-starved steel industry, and operations in Pittsburgli mills were stepped up to 99.5 per cent, of theoretical capacity after having dropped off about 10 per cent, last week because of the coal shortage. United States Steel Corporation had restored to operation eight of the 14 blast furnaces that were banked in the Pittsburgh-Ohio district. Showing the greatest improvement in mining was Central Pennsylvania's District 2, of UMWA, where only 1,000 out of the 43,000 miners there were on strike at two mines the Ehrenfeld mine of Pennsylvania Coal and Coke Corporation, and the St. Michael mine of Berwind-White Coal Co. Last week only 10,000 were working in the district, and yesterday 20,000 had returned to the shafts.

James Mark, president of UMWA District 2, had warned the men that dollar a day fines for striking would be imposed under terms of the contract if they remained out on strike today. With the exception of a few holdouts among workers in captive mines of steel companies, operations were near normal in Western Pennsylvania. TOKYOTUTSOUT MORE SKIP CLAIMS Contends 15 Transports Are Sunk in Rendova Harbor. Hy United Press. Tokyo Tadio today broadcast a claim that Japanese 'bombers, in an attack on Rendova harbor, sank 15 American transports and more than ten smaller ships at noon Saturday.

The Tokyo report, which was not issued in the form of a communique, failed to mention the naval battle in progress in Kula gulf, north of New Georgia, announced last night by the Navy Department. "The sky over Rendova harbor was filled with falling enemy planes and blackened with tremendous clouds of smoke," said the Tokyo broadcast, which asserted that 20 out of 40 intercepting American aircraft were shot down. (Tokyo radio customarily makes grossly exaggerated claims of American battle losses in preparing the Japanese public for new of an American offensive victory such as at Attu.) "It is estimated that in this raid, over 3,000 enemy troops were killed," Tokyo said. "If this is added to the losses sustained by the enemy during the four days from June 30, the enemy troops lost in the Rendova area will well exceed 11,000." 295 TALON WORKERS TO RECEIVE BACK WAGES PITTSBURGH, July UP About 300 employes of the Electroweld Steel Division of Talon, employed in the steel tube mill on Seneca Street, Oil City, have been paid a total of $8,047.33 as overtime compensation due them under the Federal wage-hour act, it was announced today.
