III SUES Meat Reduced In Price Only In Amount Paid Consumer, Says Commoner CHICAGO, Sept. 5. W. J. Bry an branded retail profiteers as the chief obstacle in the way of the country's return to normalcy in a speech tod-ay at a mass meeting under the auspices of the Chicago Federation of Labor. He said that the fault was not with labor, which was williug to do its share in effecting a read justment but with the men who perpetuated the inflation of liv ing prices, making it impossible for the working classes to live on reduced wages. "Labor's chief difficulty in re adjustment," he said, " is ln the fact that retail prices have not come down as they chould. This makes readjustment impossible. It is difficult to reduce wages while living expenses remain at war-time levels. Woolen goods are now selling at retail 100 per cent above the price they were be tore the war. Meat on the hoof which the butcher buys, has re duced, but meat on the block which the butcher sells, has not been reduced. The laborer's fam ily must suffer, and it is this wh'ch is the chief cause of labor unrest." Post Office Robbers Are Held In Jail At Toledo TOLEDO. O., Sept. f.

M i ' FAMOUS FOR : Dash for Freedom Is Witnexscd by Superintendent of Government Prisons One Killed end Another In jured in Attempts to join Convict Cattle Utilized as Aides Outside Aid Roy Gardner, California mail bandit, escaped from Mc Neil's Island, federal prison this afternoon.

The escape occurred under .the eyes of Heber II. Volaw, superintendent of federal prisons and brother-in-law of Pres ident Harding. Superintendent Votiw arrived at the prison this morning at eight o'clock on a trip of inspection and two and a half hours later witnessed the dash for! liberty. The volley finH by the guards felled Impyn before he gained the fence.

" , ; .- j K Third Kscajw SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5. The escape today of Roy Gardner, California mail bandit, from Mc Neil Island federal penitentiary, was the third he had made In the last lS.'manths. On two previous occasions, he escaped from offi cers while en route to prison to serve a long sentence. Record Reviewed Gardner made his frist break for. liberty in August, 1920, from a train in Portland. He had been sentenced to 25 years for robbery of a mail wagon at San Diego. On June 11 of this year, he es caped from a county federal mar shal and a federal guard on . a train near Castle Rock, .Wash., while en route to McNeil Island prison to serve a term of 25 years for. robbing the mail near New castle. Cal. He bad confeswed to the robbery. He was captured at (entralia. Wash., Juno 16, and taken to McNeil prison. Thought I'almrt Sevrral of the; guards believe Gardner was wounded In his dash across the field but the majority are of the opinion that he escaped unscathed as they were unable to pick up any trail of blood. ' ' Warden Maloney believes It pos sible that Gardner may have bad conferedates waiting outside and that thev spirited him away in a boat. This theory Is borne out by the fact that no, trace has been found of him since his escape al though possen have covered virtu ally every square of ground on the Binall Island. If Gardner has reached the Olympic peninsula, the authorities expect as sensational a manhunt; as tint which they pursued last June whn Gardner escaped from deputy United States marshals at Castle Rock, Wash. while enroute to McNeil island, : McNeil Island is located on an arm of Puget Sound about eight miles southwest of Tacoma, Wash. It is heavily wooded over practi cally its entire surface.. The chan nel separating the island from the mainland is about a mile across at the narrowest point. - ' v Aided By Cal tie. Gardner's escape,- according to advices from' McNeil island to night, was aided by a herd of cat tie which were grazing just, out side the prison walls. Gardner dashed into the herd and caused a stampede of which tbe convict took advantage, protecting himself from the guards fire by keeping among the fleeing cattle. ' ' Gard ner continued his flight to a clump of trees about a mile from: the prison.. Guards set fire to the woods in an effort to smoke him out. v This gave rle to reports that the penitentiary buildings were bqmlng. v . ;., Escape Were Spectators.
