To Correct Impression. The visiting bakers hail from every port and city of the country, and, geographically geo-graphically speaking, probably represent the in oft diversified assemblage that has ever .been held in Salt Lake. A special train from Chicago brought two hundred or more from that city, and a special from San Francisco brought several score of bakers from the Pacific coast. Every large center in the United States will be represented when all the dele-gales dele-gales have registered by this afternoon or evening, and many have come from the smaller cities of the east and west. Projects for an educational campaign of publ icily for the baking industry, and a discussion of the proposal to raise the price of broad from five to ten ceuts a loaf will be the most important mat- ' tors that will come before the convention. conven-tion. Considerable misinformation has been disseminated by certain critics of the bakers, according to one of the central figures of the convention, last night, and it is with a view to correcting these mistaken conceptions of the industry that the educational campaign will .be ! conducted.
