CORRECTION

Through a typographical error in yesterdays
story on Governor Gruenings return from Wash
ington, the Governor was made to say in print
exactly the opposite of what he said in reality.
Referring to the impending investigation OF
steamship rates by the U. S. Maritime Commission
the Governor said he had no information to indi-
cate rates were excessive or even adequate. line
of type was dropped out of the Empire story making
it read: THE Governor said rates were excessive
or even adequate" He said nothing of the kind
of course The Empire is sorry for the error and
hopes this notice will make amends for the slip.

AN ALLIED GIFT FROM HITLER

One corollary of the German attack on Scandi-
navia has been to hand back to the Allies more
than all of their merchant shipping tonnage sunk
by German submarines and mines since the start
of the war. A large part Of the Norwegian and
Danish merchant fleets falls into Allied hands
and becomes available for Allied war purposes The
British and French have received no more handsome
present from their enemy in this or in any other
war.
Norway may be small in population and in fight
ing power but her merchant fleet is the third larg-
est in the world At the start of the it totaled
4834 600 tons almost 25 percent of Britains world
wide tonnage In human life Norway has lost heaV-
lily to German depredatons by submarine and mines;
but her ship losses up to the middle of last month
amounted to less than 100000 tons, tiny traction
of her total and even this may have been replaced
by new launchings since the war began. Denmark s
total tonnage last summer 1,174000 tons; ship
sinknes have reduced it by only $4,000 tons
These ships operate in all oceans, and only
comparatively small number of them are to be found
in their home ports at any time. The Germans
claim to have caught many Norwegian ships in
Bergen Trondheim and other harbors when their
blitzkreg struck Norways coasts; but Scandinavian
ships hardly sail the seas in Germany's behalf

Frowns to the Right of Them, FrOwns
To the Left of Them
PHILADELPHIA Record


No. they're not storm clouds the Mediter-
ranean They're the frowns of II Duce winner OF
the International Soupuss Sweepstakes for the
1923 to 1910 inclusive
The Duce can throw black looks farther than
any other dictator and right he's throwing them
at every point in Europe Africa and the Near East
where the British, French, Turks Egyptians have
any interests.
Fascist editorials suddenly suggest that Italy is
going to war on Hitler's side Anti-British demon
strations pop up with the spontaneity characteristic
of totatarian stage management. The italian fleet
sneaks up on the Dodecanese Islands-and II Duce
entertans military from Berlin. Whether he's
frownng at them, too, time will tell.
What's it all about? No secret. The Duce is
bargaining He doesn't want to go to war. Nor do
his people But he wants to squeeze as much as
he out of promises to stay out threats to go
in-squeeze from the Allies on one hand, the Ger
mans on the other.
1t would be manifesty absurd for the Duce to
launch invasons in every direction he's frowning-
at the Dardanees, Egypt Tunisia, Suez, and points
south and east But the bigger the frown, he hopes
the bigger the concessions.
When Italy actually goes TO war, then we can
be of thing that in the Duces opinion
the side he's joining has the best chance to win
Right now, he's watching to see whether the Allies
go to town" in Scandinavia. The results there will
mean much. But the frowns-they mean nothing.

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not cOmpeW
WEDNESDAY, MAY l

Benefic aspects rule today. There
is a sign read as of great promise
to labor which will benefit through
wise compromises. Good news OF
national interest is presaged. Poll
teal leaders are subject to a sway
that is fortunate.
Heart and Home: In the after
noon the stars smile upon young
folk who will be fortunate in edu-
cational matters. Serious interest
in study will be emphasized among
college students. Parents should in
sist that both boys and girls be
trained as practical wage-earners.
The need of general contributions
to the family budget is stressed by
the seerS
Business Affairs: Trade and
commerce will continue good as ex-
ports increase. Manufacturing viii
reach a high degree of success as
building of airships and naval YES
sells progresses. This month is to
be decisive in its effect upon plans
for the summer. In prosperous days
warning of the future is given since
this country cannot escape q the
aftermath of foreign wars.
National Issues: American cour-
age will be indicated by the num-
Der of men willing to accept the
responsibility of President. G. The
stars are read as presaging sur
prises and yet as encouraging the
choice of a Chief Executive with
wide experience. This is believed
to be fortunate for the political
party now in power and may pres
age success for third-term sup
porters.
International Affairs: Palestine
will demand attention from the
British Government as conflict be-
tween contending factions causes
more loss of life. Problems con-
nected with the Dominions and
Colonies of Great Britain will null
tiply and will be increased by sub
versive influences. This month is to
be marked by great world upheay-
ais despite peace movements.
Persons whose birthdate it is

prospects and happy days. Both
men and women should make much
of their opportunities.
Children born on this day will
be keenly intuitive and intelligent.
They are likely to be generous,
friendly and fortunate.

Civil Air Board Orders
Probe OF Canadian Line

Investigation of air transport
service recently inaugurated by
Canadian Colonial Always. Inc,
between New York and Niagara
Falls was ordered today by the
Civil Aeronautics Board.
The board stated that it had
reason to believe the New York
Niagara Falls operation without a
certificate" was in violation of the
provisions of the Civil Aeronautics
Act.
Canadian Colonial holds a United
States certificate authorizing oper-
atoms between New York and Mon
treal The airline began operation
to Niagara Falls from New York
City August IL, taking the position
that since the service was purely
interstate, within the boundaries of
New York State, there was no pro-
vision in the Civil Aeronautics Act
requiring it to obtain a Federal
certificate.
Despite its original position, how
ever, the airline on August 81 ap-
piled to the Civil AeronauticS Board
for a certificate of public convent
ence and necessity for the new route.

Anti-Unionism Charged
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
In a split decision, the Labor
Board ordered the New York Times
Co. today to reinstate with back
wages two former employees allegedly
discharged because of union
activities.
The company was also directed
to cease diScouraging membership"
In any labor organization of its en-
ployes.
The reinstatement order involved
Grace Porter, who had been en-
ployed up to January, 1886, as q
confidential secretary, and Fred
Jaeger, a business reporter. Miss
Porter was said by the board to be
a member of the A. F. l.. Book
keepers, Stenographers and Ac-
countants' Union, while Mr.. Jaeger
was member of the Newspaper
Office Guild of New York.
Another Ordered Placed.
At the same time the board
directed the company to return Isaac
Gilbert to the position from which
1t said he was discriminatory trans
ferred because of his membership in
the American Newspaper Guild
&C. I. o.
Board member William M. Lesser
son dissented in part, holding that
the complaint against the Times
company, based on charges filed by
the American Newspaper Guild,
should not have been amended to
include Miss Porter three years after
her dismissal.
Her employer suspected her of
having some connection with the
Communistic unit on the Times"
Mr.. LeiSerSon said. II am of the
opinion that the National Labor Re-
1ations Act does not prevent an en-
ployer from discharging a confiden-
tial secretary whom he does not
want to keep because he suspects her
of Communistic connections"
LeiSerson DisagreeS.
Mr.. LeiserSon also disSented on the
finding that Mr.. Jaeger and Mr.. Gill
bert had been discharged and trans
ferred, respectively, because of their
union activities.
He concurred with the boards
finding, however, that supervisory
officers of the Times had inter
fered' with the employees right to
self -organizatio
Board member Edwin S. Smith
also filed a partial dissenting opin-
ion in opposition to the boards de-
cision to dismiss an allegation that
Leonard D. Goldsmith, an adver-
Using solicitor, had been discrim-
inatorily discharged.
