Stables Arise was second in the
mile-and-a-quarter classic and
Brookmeade Stables Going Away
was third. six lengths behind
Arise. Coaltown was fifth, beat
ing only Alfred G. Vanderbilt's

leah Park.
Coaltown, topweighted under
1872 pounds-highest impost in the
history of the race-was unable
to match the pace set by Royal
Governor and Arise in the stretch.
Brilliantly ridden by Jockey
Chris Rogers over a track slowed
by recent rains, Royal Governor
went the route in the slow time
of 2:06 fiat. He carried 1l8
pounds, IA less than Coaltown.
Winner Earns $4,000.
The chestnut gelding, second in
the McClennan and winner Of
six stakes last year, picked up
$4,000 added money. Arise won
$4,000 second money, Going
Away received $4,000 for third
and, the fourth horse, Cherry
Oca's First Nighter, earned $2,50o.
Royal Governor paid $7.90,
$3.40 and $3.50 across the board.
Arise paid $4.00 and $3.50, while
Going Away paid $3.50 show
money.
Ridden by OWE Scurlock, Coal
town bounded into the lead at the
start and maintained a length
and a half margin over the six
horse field until the half-mile
post. At the three-quarters post
he was losing ground and dropped
to second, a length and a half
behind Arise.
The Addison Stable four-year-
old was leading by five lengths
at the mile panel Royal Gov
ernor was allowed to race on his
own courage during the early run
ming. He responded smartly to
Rogers urging and when he
reached Arise from the inside in
mid-stretch he proved the best in

in the winners circle. He said
Mrs. Weir "Is just too happy and
excited to move"
The winning Jockey said II was
told not to let Coaltown open up
too long a lead and make my
drive from the quarter pole home.
I did the best I could to follow
those orders. That horse is 4

effort.

Supreme Court Weighs Reo|tor Fee Case

The Supreme Court heard argu-
ments yesterday on where the
Government must draw the line
in the fixing Of fees for profess
sional services.
The question was raised by JUS
tice jackson during the argument
on whether codes of the District
and National Real Estate Boards
violate the antitrust laws by
setting up compensation stand
ards. The case was taken under
advisement.
Justice Jackson expressed the
view that some determination
must be made on where the Gov
eminent will draw the line as to
agreements on service charges
He asked. for example. if preach
ers would be violators if they set
up certain fees for weddings or
funerals, or how the rule might
apply to plumbers.
Victor H. Kramer. assistant to
the Attorney General. argued that
employers, or those in business
with an element of risk" would
be subject to the antitrust act,
although their employees would be
exempt if they agreed as union
on commission rates and other
compensation.
Some Regarded as Employers.
Mr.. Kramer told the court the
Justice Department regards many
of some $50 members of the Dis
trict Real Estate Board as en-
ployers in that they hire 593 sales
men. He and Peyton Ford. an
other assistant to the Attorney
General, insisted that both the
local and national boards are vio-
laters in that they have estab-
lished schedule of rates dealing
with every phase of the business
on a fixed-charge basis.
Attorneys William E. Leahy and
Roger Whiteford argued in behalf
Of the boards that there is moth
ing compulsory about the suggest
ed rates, which were set up as a
guide to give the broker a profess
sional status and eliminate sharp
practices, confusion and conflict.
The code OF ethics and bylaws
of the local board. Mr.. Leahy said,
specifies that members should"
rather than must conform to the
standards of compensation, and
that these have been accepted by
the public and the courts for many
years. He pointed out the Gov
ernment had produced no evil
dence that any member ever was
penaliZed for disregarding the
schedule.
Contends Boards Exempt.
Mr.. Leahy denied prices have
been fixed. Even admitting for

PENDANTS from continuing those
practices.
When that case came before
Judge Holtzoff last June, he ruled
the commission agreement did not
violate the Sherman Act because
the law did not apply to arrange
ments covering personal serv-
ices" He likened the boards to
a labor union" of real estate
brokefS and cited antitrust law
provisions that ''the labor of
human beings is not a commodity
or article of commerce"
Judge Holtzod dismissed the
civil suit and the Justice Depart
ment appealed to the Supreme
Court.
