Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Since the decision of this case in the District Court, 49 F.Supp. 625, the Supreme Court of North Carolina has decided the controlling principles of law involved contrary to the District Court’s decision. Hampton v. North Carolina Pulp Co. 223 N.C. 535, 27 S.E.2d 538, 539. As the case is controlled by the law of North Carolina, the decree appealed from dismissing the action will be reversed.

Reversed.
