The president of the walters union
of Denver has written letter to the
Denver Convention League denying the
report that a gigantic strike had been
planned during the Democratic ma
tional convention in July. He says:
when the Convention League indi-
Gated that It would make an effort TO
secure one or both of the national CON
ventions for Denver, our organization
went ON record to the effect that should
a national convention be secured that
the rates of wages would not be ad-
vanced during such period, and that
we would cooperate to the end that
there should be no dissatisfaction or
criticism so far as we were concerned
in connection with said convention
We desire to reiterate what was said
at that time. The members of our
union are as patriotic as any other citi-
zens of Denver. We esteem the fair
name of this city as highly as any
other citizens. We desire TO state to
you that no effort of ours will be made
(using as an excuse the large crowds
of people that will be in Denver in
JULY to unionize by other than fair
methods any restaurant or hotel that
is now operating or will operate dur
ing that time"
