Review Is Refused
Second Time by z
Supreme Court

The Justice Department today in
dicated that defendants in it's anti
trust medical case may be brought to
trial sometime in the fall.
This was apparent as plans were
made by Government prosecution
counsel following action by the

for second time to review the medi-
cal case prior to trial

ton for writ of certiorari filed by
defendant doctors, who asked for a
review of Court of Appeals decision
against them. The Court of Appeals
here had held that the medical pro.
fession was trade within the mean
ing of the Sherman Antitrust Act,
under which the proceeding had been
brought. The appeals tribunal had
reversed previous decision in Dis.
trict Court, which had held that the
profession of medicine was not a
trade within the meaning of the
act, and therefore an indictment
against the defendants was invalid.
The indictment, returned in Decem-
ber, 1888, charged conspiracy to re.
strain the trade Of Group Health
