does not tell half the story about this
company's exploitation Of the demand
for hams, bacon, preserves, jellies,
etc. 1t does not show that almost all
the capital used in turning out Beech
Nut products represents no real in
vestment by the owners. It was taken
out of the excessive profits of pre-
vious years.
Beech-Nut stock dividends include
5000 in 1914, 4OOgo in 1922 and 500
in 1923. The original 500 invested
has been multiplied about As times
and the present return means some
thing like 1,SO6% on the money origi-
nally put into the business by the
owners.
In addition to the stock dividends
Beech-Nut has paid the owners cash
dividends to total Of sS,627 on each
500 that was invested in 1910, an
average of 1927 a year. Here is an
other tollgate set up by capital be-
tween the farmer and the consumer.
Borden Co. (MlIk)
The Borden Co. belongs with this
group. 1t represents capitalist con-
troll of the channels by which the
farmers dairy products reach the con-
sumner. Borden reports 1925 profit
of $6,297,235. This means a return
of $1O.65 on each $50 share of common
stock. This 21.316 profit follows one
of 20.5%o in 1924, at which rate the
investors will receive back in profits
their entire investment in less than
5 years.

BIMBA SPEAKS
BEFORE HARVARD
STUDENT DINNER
Attacks Use of Laws
Against Workers

HARVARD, Mass, March 20 - The
Harvard University Liberal Club in
vited Anthony Bimba, one of the edi-
tors of the Lithuanian Communist
daily 'Laisve," to address them at a
luncheon on the Brockton trial. About
rs to 100 students were present, as
well as several newspaper reporters.
Bimba told the students that he
appreciates very much those who dare
to listen to Communist ideas which
are opposed to the ideas of those who
are in power at the present time in
this country and control the universi-
ties and other educational Institutions
He pointed out to the gathering that
we are living in the age of intolerance
when the capitalist class is unable to
solve the great economic and social
problems and maintains its power by
force and violence On the other
hand, the working class is beginning
to understand its interests and its
mission and, led by the Communist
movement, it is striving to take power
from the enemy and conquer the
world for itself. In this great con-
flict the capitalist class is always
ready to suppress any protest on the
part of the working class.
Manufacturers Aid Prosecutor.
He took up the question of the
Brockton trial and showed how the
agents of the Catholic church and the
shoe and textile manufacturers were
contributing money to the prosecution.
It is not hard to find the reason for
their action. The workers of New
England are being exploited to the
utmost and therefore the employers
cannot tolerate anyone who comes to
their slaves and talks to them about
organization and a struggle to better
their conditions. He told the students
that the judge brought a verdict which
confirms the wishes and desires of the
shoe manufacturers.
The 500 fine is not so important,
but it is very important that the
Massachusetts so-called sedition law
is being used for the first time against
the labor movement. If the reaction
aries are not defeated in this fight
they will effectively use that law to
further suppress freedom of speech
and assembly.
Bimba also discussed the relation
of the bankers of this country with
the reactionary European govern
ments, which were established during
the war and which are suppressing
the labor movement there. The bank
ers are very much interested to main
tain these governments as barrier
against Soviet Russia. They also sup
port the agents of these governments
who come to this country and carry
on poisonous propaganda among the
foreign-born workers and SOW national
hatred.

By RICHARD HATTON

With the completion and occu-
pancy OF the Securities Building at
20 Fifteenth st. N. W.. the third
unit in one Of the finest groups of
office buildings in the city adds its
rtistic white facade to the growing
architectural strength OF the finan-
Dial district OF washington. The
building is owned by the Wardman
Construction Company, its designers
and builders, and was financed
through the SwartzeH, Rheem &
ATensey Company. The building is
nine stories high and, it is stated.
mat It is the intention of the owners
70 maintain an exclusive class of
enaLtry by requiring that each oc-
ca >ant lease at least one entire floor.
The entire ground floor Of the
building, as well as the fourth floor,
win be occupied by the Washington
offices OF Hartman & Co., members
Of the New York Stock Exchange,
and one of the oldest and strongest
Brokerage houses in the country.
The Hartman office here is under
The direction Of George Bowie Chip
man, a member of the firm, and for
circles. Mr.. Chapman started his
career as q broker at the bottom
some 80 years ago, and, like so many
successful brokers of today, won his
present high place through the va
rieus grades of the profession. He
has been associated with the Har.
1:ifnan firm for the past Is years.
The entrance TO the Hartman Of
fees on the first floor are through
the massive lobby, dignified by a
color scheme OF dark green marble
and bronze. In the rear of the Of
ices on the first floor is an excep-
fionally large board room and stock
board Just forward of the board
room is the order room; next to this
tire telegraph department and the
office of the cashier, with the office
of the local manager and several
consultation rooms next to the front.
ON the floor floor the Hartman

has been reserved by prominent
financial and other organizations.

Progress beyond the expectations
of the founders of the Organization
is being achieved by the Great Ma
tional Insurance Company. of Wash
ington, D. c., according TO officials
most intimately engaged with the
affairs of the local underwriters.
Representatives Frank r. Reid
and Frederick n. Zihlnlan. president
and secretary, respectively. are at
one on the point that the amount or
business being transacted is consid-
erably larger than had been anticl-
pated, and that the company's pros
poets are even brighter than first
calculated.
Vigorous plans for expansion in
the local field are under way, and it
is understood that within r. son;
able length of time the company will
branch out into the national field.
1.-The more than generous recep'
ton given to our company by the
people of Washington is very graft
flying" said Mr.. Reid today, and
the first months of business puts us
in a position to be genuinely opti-
mistic regarding the future"

The Chapter has just completed its
second text book of our first years
study and what an interesting text it
has been.
The meetings of the chapter have
been interesting and well attended,
for each member has done her share
of the work in an exceptional way.
We feel that our society is doing
us worlds of good, and the three
ideals for which Delphian stands
Higher Education, Personal Improve
ment and Social Progress, are being
manifested.
Our first years study is The
Foundation of Our Present Culture. :"
This study starts with Egyptian
culture from Egypt we go to Baby
lonia; we thence cross over to
Greece. Travelling on around the
Mediterranean we come to Rome
in other words we are enjoying Med
iterranean travels.
We begin our third book with the
subject of Homeing Greece, and it
promises to be equally as interesting
as the other two have been.
