DETROIT, Mich, September 28.-
The impression has gone out that the
national convention of cooks and wait
ers would be held in this city during
the present week, This, however, is an
error. At the last annual convention
OF this labor organization, it was de-
cided that the delegates should here
after come together bi-ennially, aad
the next convention takes place in this
city not this week but one year from
to-day. A large number of delegates,
however, have arrived for the conven-
ton of the International Cigar Makers
union, which will be in session for the
next two weeks.
