Ruling in 1rainmen' 5
Case Is Reversed for
Lack Of Jurisdiction

The United States Court Of APP
peals today ruled that District
Court lacked jurisdiction In a case
against the Brotherhood OF Loco

and, on. that. ground, reversed a
District Court decision giving 81
colored firemen a temporary I'M

In their complaint that the brother
hood restricts its membership to
white locomotive firemen and en-
ginemen, but acts as sole bargain
ing agent for the entire class of
locomotive f1remen, including coll
ored firemen.
The suit alleged that agreements
negotiated by the brotherhood dis
criminated against colored firemen
and deprived them of rights and
job assignments to which their
seniority entitled them. The COM
plant sought court determine
ton of the rights of the 81 colored
f1remen and others similarly sit
uated.
District Court Judge Alexander
Holtzoff> issued q preliminary in
junction, pending further action on
the suit. The brotherhood appealed
from that action. which the Court of
Appeals reversed in today's opinion.
The Court of Appeals held that
District Court lacked jurisdiction be-
cause the brotherhood's headquar-
tiers is located in Cleveland.
AS in a recent similar case, the
court ruled that District Court
should have dismissed the suit for
lack of venue.
E At the same time, the appeals
court ruled that under a new law
which became effective in Septem-
ber, District Court should have
transferred the case to the Northern
District of Ohio. The appeals court
ordered district Court to transfer
the case.
The Court Of Appeals decision was
written by Chief Judge Harold M.
