IMPLICATED IN BABY
CASE; LAWYER TELLS
(By Associated Press)

PHILADELPHIA, Aug 1O.-Detec-
tives today were searching for Joseph
Damachuck, and his wife. named by
counsel for Auguste Pasquale, "the
crank" as the kidnapers Of Blakely
Coughlin.
In his alleged confession, Pasquale
is reported to have said that a man
named Joe" and his wife were the
abductors Benjamin F. Goodman,
Pasquale's attorney, has declared he
has identified Joe" as Damachuck
and that the police are hot on his
trail" Despite Pasquale's denial that
he had anything to do with the kid
naping. some authorities working on
the case express the opinion that he
was the actual abductor.
He is said to have admitted he has
wife and daughter, but has not seen
them since his release from the Tren-
ton prison several years ago. They
also are being sought by the police
A deputy warden of the Trenton pris-
on yesterday identified Pasquale as a
prisoner who escaped from that insti-
tuition in 1916.
Can't Get Much From Him
Continued questioning has failed to
secure much additional information
IloIIl L oSQudlS SulCe ue lis dI-
legged confession last week He still
maintains the missing child is alive,
notwithsta nding that in some Of the
letters written by "the crank" to
George II. Coughlin. the father,
threats were made to do away with
him unless his demands for ransom
were met.
The prisoner according to Major
Lynn G. Adams, head Of the Pennsyl-
vania state police, admits making
threats, but said it was done for ef-
feet Major Adams declared he was
convinced this part of Pasquale's con-
fession was true. He added that he
expected results within week.
In one of his letters "the crank"
said he had kidnapped boy two years
ago. adding: They didn't come across
and the kids in a hole in the ground
now, and yours is going in alongside
of him if you don't come across"
Placed $4,000 in Can
Shortly after this letter was re-
ceived Mr.. Coughlin placed $4,000
under a trolley station outside of
Norristown in response to the
crank" demand. The money disap-
peared, but nothing has been heard
of the child's whereabouts.
Pasquale is said by the authorities
to have admitted he got one-third of
the money, the remainder going to
his pals, Joe" and his wife.

.$3o,oOo,ooo, AWARD
TO EXPRESS FOLKS;
RATE RAISE ASKED
(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-Thirty million
dollars was added to the nations ex-
press bill. The United States railway v
board awarded the $4,000 employees Of
the American Railway Express COM
pany an increase Of l6 cents an hour.
The decision Is retroactive to May l.,
1920.
Under the terms OF the Esch-Cum-
Minis transporta ton act, the express
company will be permitted to raise
its rate sufficiently to meet the in
creased labor cost.
Arguments in the rate case already
have been presented before the inter
state commerce commission at Wash
ington. Today's award does not go
into the question Of rules and work
ing conditions.
Working Rules Later
AS was the case last month. when
the board granted a S600,000,000 in
crease to railway employees, it was
announced that a decision covering
new working rules would be handed
down later
The express decision applies to all
express employees save $500 shopmen,
who were given an increase of 13
cents an hour in the railway award
last month.
The award to expressmen is slightly
better than the average increase to
the railroad men, the board finding
that express employees, as a class,
were not so we'll paid as men in other
lines of work.
Four unions are affected by the
boards decision. They are brother
hood of railway and stea mship clerks,
freight handlers, express station en-
ployes, International brotherhood Of
teamsters, chauffeurs, stable men and
helpers of America.
The railway express drivers, chauf-
feurs, conductors, local No. 720 of Chi
ca go. order railway expressmen.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug 10
Recommendation that express rates
be increased $30,000,000 to absorb the
wage award announced today by the
railroad labor board will be filed with
the interstate commerce commission
soon, 1t was announced today by T. B.
Harrison, general counsel for the
American Railway Express company.
The express company already has
before the commission an application
for rate increases totaling S72,000000
to meet increased costs aside from
advanced wages, and should all of it's
recommendations be adopted by the
commission express rates would be in
creased so as to provide a total Of
more than $10O,000,000 added revenue
annually.
