RICHMOND, Va, March 11.-A group
of Richmond business men, it was
learned today, have been endeavoring
for several weeks to bring Mayor j.
Fulmer Bright and the local newspapers
together. Although but little progress
has been made so far, hope is held out
that their efforts will eventually be
crowned with success.
The mayor and the newspapers came
to the parting of the ways early in
January, when he announced that he
had grown weary of their constant
criticism of his administration. Any
matters Of record would still be avail
able to reporters, he said, but there
would be no other news for the press.
Maj. Robert B. Jordan, chief Of po-
lice, who had also become aggr1eved at
criticism by the press of the methods
employed by him in attempting to curb
the activities here of reds" and other
radicals, followed suit with the an
nouncement that he was also clamping
down the lid on news of his depart
ment. When it developed that not even
the arrest books at police stations were
available to the press, under the new

WAGE CUTS
Employees Official Studying
Effects of Restoring
Government Pay

Heads of all Federal agencies
are being asked by E. Claude Bah
cock, president of the American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes, how their finances will be
affected by restoration of Federal
salaries during coming months.
The information is sought in order
that government workers may be
able to seek restoration of salaries
with full knowledge of the facts.
The communications to depart
ment heads and others point out
that many members of Congress
have announced that they favor
ending Federal paycutS, and that
consequently the A. F.. G.. E. is
preparing a bill and supporting
data to be presented to Congress-.
Copeland Against Cut
incidentally, the organization
announced today that Senator
Royal T. Copeland CD, of New
York, is the latest to declare for
restoration of salaries. His mess
age read:
81 agree with the view ex-
pressed in your communication
of October ii and will do my
best to help"
The reference is, of course, to
the effort to eliminate the Is
per cent cut in the Federal serv-
ice.
Seeks Reliable Data
The communication to depart
ment heads from the A. F.. G. E.
stresses the Importance of re-
liable data and holds that this
material should be available to
persons whose salaries were cut
as we'll as to those interested in
keeping the cut in effect.
It is recognized that some de-
partments would need deficiency
appropriations to restore salaries,
while others would need only to
release impounded funds.
The A. F.. G. E. also announced
today that a charter had been
given a new unit, Lodge No. 80, in
Boston.
