Atty. Gen. John N.

Mitchell announced the probe Thursday and said Justice Department investigators are checking to determine if recent commission rate increases in various parts of the country violate antitrust laws. ASST. ATTY. Gen. Richard V.

McLaren, the government's antitrust chief, said his probers are "particularly interested in this situation' because of the inflationary impact of such increases on consumers in the purchase of homes." The Justice Department Thursday also filed a civil antitrust suit against the Prince George's County Md. Board of Realtors charging the firm with recommending commission rates that are followed by its 1,000 members in their property transactions. Prince George's County is a Washington suburb. Mitchell indicated similar arrangements are made by other real estate boards elsewhere in the nation. THE PRINCE Georges' suit, brought under the restraint of trade provision of the Sherman Act, marked the i out, th government said, through the Prince George's Multiple Listing Service, and all agree that no listing 'will be accepted at a commissioned rate less than the recomenda-tion.

Consequently, the suit claimed commissions were fixed at a noncompetitive level and price competition among salesmen was eliminated. The government asked for an injunction to prohibit the real estate board from the rate-setting practices.
