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 idle Saturday. The return of the miners aided the coal-starved steel industry, and operations in Pittsburgh 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 district. Showing the greatest improvement in mining was Central Pennsylvania's District 2, of UMWA, where only 1,000 out of the 45,000 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.

"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 news 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 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.
