 This is the first time since the un- ion was organized four years ago that any demands have been made on the manufacturers although 1t has been called many times to assist the workers who have complained of the conditions in the factories in which they were employed.
 A delegation of the Corset Cutters Union attended the meeting last night and promised to uphold the corset workers in their demands.

We can get all we ask for if we present a united front when we treat with the manufacturers"

Gardiner C. Hull of the wholesale stationery house of Hull & Dcopisch. 1O6 and los Fulton street. Manhat- tan. vas found in his office at that address last evening with his skull crushed in. while nearby lay a ham mer, the instrument with which the crime was committed. Mir. Hull. who Is 5S years old. was rushed to the Vol untcer hospital. where at Ii o'clock last night it was announced that he was dying. He had not reEained con sciousness at any time. and the only clue to tho perpetrator or perpetra- tors of the crime is the fact that two men, who have not been identified by the police. arc known to have called at his office a short time before he was assaulted.
 Mir. Hull was q friend of pr. Wal ter K. Wilkins, who was convicted three weeks ago of the murder of his wife, and committed suicide in the Mineola Jail on the Sunday following his conviction. IL was recalled by the police last night that Mrs. Will kins was beaten to death with blows on the head inflicted with hammer and piece of lead pipe. Mir. Hull was a character witness for Dr. Will kins at his trial and visited him several times in the Mincola jail.
 The crime was discovered by Thom- as Timolo a porter employed in the Downey building. in which Hull x Dcppisch have their offices. The office suite Is on the third floor and it is the custom of Timolo 10 make a tour of the offices in the building between . and 6 o'clock each afternoon to see that doors are locked and windows secured. Ii was a few minutes after o'clock when he entered Mir Hulrs office. At that time Mir. Hull was seated at his desk and told Timolo that it would be probably half an hour before he finished his business for the day. In an adjoining office. at the time. was Miss Mary Smith, 16-year-old stcnoErapher, employed by Hull S Deppisch.
 Miss smith left the office few minutes after Timolo and half an hour later Timolo returned to the of flee. He entered the office of Mir. Hull and found him lying on the floor. his head in pool of blood. A foot away was the blood stained hammer.
 When he entered the office and saw Mir Hull on the floor Timolo req lized at once that the old man had been inc victim of mur3crous at tack, and rushed out of the building and called up the old Slip Police station and then sent in hurry call for an ambulance from inc N"lun- tcer Hospital. He also notified John AstNvooi. the Superintendent of the building.
