Wielder of Jewel1ed
 Revolver Goes To Jail


 Police authorities are on the look out for agents who have for sale ini- tations of a we'll known revolver. Sew era1 of these guns have been taken from prisoHersl at police Headquarters.
 A .38 cahbre revolver studded with 10 imitation diamonds was taken from Ralphalleo Ferasio of TAI Pembroke street. Saturday night when he was apprehended by Sergeant Thomas Flood. Ferasio was running along Pembroke street when stopped by the policeman. He said he had been as saulted by two young men. He was arrested and in city court today Judge Frank L. Wilder fined F'erasio S1 and costs and sentenced him to- 30 days in jail.
 Scores of policemen and citizens came to the office of Superintendent Eugene Birmingham in quest of the gan. which is believed to be studded with paste diamonds. Lieutenant Charles Suckley informed the super intendent that he recalled reading a circular some time ago offering a re- ward for the finding of a. diamond studded gun stolen from some city in California. Fserasio says he pur- chased the revolver in a Chicago pawn shop. Endeavors will be made to learn if the gun is the one looked for. The number on the jeweled gun is 27,9S7 and there are 10 stones on the handle.

CRUDE OILS AGAIN
 TAKE UPWARD BOUND

Pittsburgh, Feb. 21-Another step toward the price for which crude oil producers are said to be holding their stocks was taken today by the princi- pal purchasing agencies when the South Penn Oil co. announced another advance, as follows:
 Pennsylvania crude, 5 cents bar, rel to $2.40; caben. T cents to $1.95; Corning, Mercer black and Newcastle, cents to $1.9O; Somerset, 5 cents to $1.7S; Ragland, cents to 82 cents.
 Reports reaching the oil refners showed that during January there was falling off of about 6, 900 barrels a day in normal runs and shipments, and the advance was made in the hope of making up this deficiency. Co1npe- tent authorities, however, believe that the immense amount of crude oil now held in storage will not find the market until the price has reached $2.50 a barrel.

MINE OPERATORS
 DISCUSS WAGES
 WITH UNION MEN

New York, Feb. 21-Members of the wage scale committee of the United Mine workers of America hired by John P. White. president of the Union, conferred here today with representa- tives of anthracite coal mine opera tors in an attempt to reach an agree ment to restore relations of the min CTS and their employees after March 31, when the agreement now in force e1- pires.
 Following this conference there will be another meeting Thursday of the wage scale committee with operators of bituminous coal miners to continue the conference recent begun in Mo bile. One of the important questions to be considered in the conference which began today with the period to be covered by the proposed agree ment. The United Mine Workers de- mand that the agreement shall remain in force for only two years instead or four as heretofore. They contend that the cost of living changes so rapidly that an agreement extending more than two years imposes a hardship upon the miners The other demands of the anthracite miners are for a twenty per cent. increase in wages, an eight hour working day and recognl- ton by the operators of the United Mine Workers of America as Onlon-
 The operators in the bitumnious coal fields are said to be willing to grant some of the demands of the soft coal miners
 The working conditions of about 175,0oO anthracite coal miners will be affected by the proposed agreement. The wage scale committee is composed of 35 men, including besides President White, some of the officials of the mine workers and heads of the dis trict unions.
