Swedish Match Trust
Loans Germany Million
to Fight USSR Export

BERLIN, Oct. 15.-Ivar Kreuger,
Swedish match magnate, and the
Reich Treasury are about to con-
clude negotiations for a loan to
Germany of s125,o00, 900, it was re-
ported here today.
Ivar Rooth, president of the Swed-
ish National Bank, has arrived in
Berlin and Kreuger is expected to-
hay. The Vossichezeitung said the
loan was to be floated at six per
BENT.
1t was understood that Kreuger,
in extending the loan to Germany,
demanded as compensation control
of German match market, through
a modification of the law which up
to the present has prevented him
from exercising monopoly powers
in spite of his vast holdings in the
German-Swedish Syndicate which &C.
tually does control the match in
dustry in Germany.
The object of the monopoly would
be to fight the importation of Rus
sian matches which last year made
an enormous stride in the German
market.

Corroborate Beal Testimony.
Edith Saunders Miller had corro-
borated Beals testimony given yes
terday. She told how she and Sophie
Melvin and Vera Buch had been
choked upon the picket line when
it was being driven by the police.
She told how she then went back to
the union hall, and reported to Beal.
When the shooting started, she was
with him and Miller inside of the
union hall. There were no guns
there and no shots were fired from
inside the hal, as charged by the
prosecution.
Later she was arrested with 10
others, held in Jail for week with
out warrant, or charge, against her,
an dthen released.
George Carter testified this after
noon that when he approached Po-
liceman Gilbert, VIII owas participat-
ing in the derholt raid, and demand
ed search warrant, the policeman
answered, eve don't need no god
damn search warrant" Then Gil
bert seized and disarmed him.

Roach, another member kof the
raiding party then said, Lets take
him for a ride and send him to the
hospital" Carter was then knocked
unconscious. When he came to he
ran back Of the union hall, and into
the guard tent, where he was later
arrested by the Manville-Jenckes
Committee of 100" gunner.
Clyde Hoey, one of the prosecu-
ton staff, tried unsuccessfully to
confuse Carter anG catch him in
contradictory statements. The prose
cution orator then tried to give the
jury the impression that Carter was
professional gunman, which was
unconvincing in the face of Carriers
appearance and straightforward tes-
timony.
Carriers working class history was
searchingly reviewed by Hoey, with
out finding anything to discredit the
defendants character.
X. Y. Hendricks then was put on
the stand. He told of his activities
in the strike, and on June z, prov
ing that he was not in the union
grounds during the shooting. He
was with Dewey Martin at the lat
ter's house, near the union lot, as
Dewey and others have testified
Hendricks was arrested later at his
home by the Committee of 1907
without warrant or authority.
"You god dam labor agitator. I'm
going to kill you," Gilbert told Hen
bricks shortly before the raid on
union headquarters. Gilbert was
drunk, said Hendricks.
Hendricks was blackjacked by
Gilbert and other officers few
days before the raid. Other brutal
attacks committed by the police dur
ing the strike, which necessitated
the armed strikers guard, were re-
lated by the witness.

they take the side of the bosses and
