Realtors Lose
Appeal 10 Bar
Antitrust Suif
Only Supreme Court
Hos Jurisdiction,
Edgerton Rules

The Washington Real Estate
Board and the National Associa-
ton Of Real Estate Boards today
lost an appeal to the United
States Court Of Appeals through
which they sought dismissal of
civil antitrust suit charging the
two boards with conspiracy to Ak
real estate commissions.
The Court of Appeals ruled that
the Supreme Court has jurisdic-
ton In an appeal in the case.
The civil antitrust suit was
brought in 1947 against the two
real estate boards by the United
States. The suit also named 16
individuals as defendants.
Criminal Action Thrown Out.
In q criminal action against
the two boards, District Court
Judge Edward M. Curran last
year returned directed verdict
of aequittal after a prolonged
trial In District Court. The 16
individuals were not involved in
the criminal suit.
The appeal which was lost today
was from a ruling last July by
District Court Judge T. Alan
Goldsborough that the two boards
and the 16 individuals must stand
trial In the civil suit.
Attorneys for the two boards
argued at that time, as we'll as In
the appeal to the Court of Appeals,
that in light of the dismissal of
the criminal charges, the civil suit
also should be dismissed.
Appeal Only to Supreme Court.
- The Court of Appeals. in an
opinion written by Judge Henry
w. Edgerton, declared that "in a
suit in equity brought by the
United States under the Sherman
Act, an appeal from the final
decree of the District Court will
lie only to the Supreme Court
The appellate court further held
that only the Supreme Court
would have jurisdiction in an ap-
peal from any stage of the case
under the Sherman Antitrust Act.
The criminal suit thrown out of
District Court last year grew from
a grand jury indictment of the
two associations In 1947. This in
dictment charged that the two
associations had entered into a
criminal conspiracy for many
years to restrain trade in the
housing field in the District by
fixing commission rates to brokers
in real estate transactions.
The Justice Department filed
the civil suit. naming 16 individ-
uals, in addition to, the two asso-
