The magnetic and electrical properties of the tetragonal, ThMn_{12}-type RMn_{x}T_{12-x} alloys (R = Y, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm and T = Fe, Co, Ni) were studied in broad temperature and magnetic field ranges to elucidate an influence of manganese on the magnetic ordering in these materials. Magnetic properties were examined at T=1.7-300K in magnetic field up to 14T, whereas the electrical properties were examined at T=4.2-300K, on the polycrystalline samples. Majority of the samples exhibit ferro- or ferrimagnetic properties. Some samples containing larger concentration of Mn are paramagnetic in the whole temperature range. The electrical resistivity of these alloys shows metallic character.
