1Opinion of the Court
BREITENSTEIN, Circuit Judge.
The controlling question in this case is whether the “Catalog Sales Agency Agreement” entered into by defendant-appellee Montgomery Ward & Co. with individual plaintiffs-appellants is a security within the purview of the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. § 77a et seq, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. § 78a et seq. We hold that the agency agreement is not a security and, hence, there is no federal jurisdiction.
When the case was here before, we reversed in an unpublished opinion. We have now ordered the opinion to be published. *879See No. 74-1476,…
