porter in the Wagner palace car service
between New York and Saratoga, is |
gathering evidence for a civil rights |
suit against the East Tennessee, Vir-
ginia and Georgia Railroad Company.
His wife, who had been South with a
sick child, while travelling from North |
Carolina to Chicago. was forced by the |
conductor and trainmen to go into a
smoking car on the plea that Afro !
were not allowed to ride |
in other cars in Tennessee. She was
taken out of her way 128 miles and left |
all night in a deserted depot at small
town and was forced in order to con-
meet with the Illinois Central railroad
to pay s. extra. Officials of the New
York Central are trying to help Mr..
Caldwell with his suit, as his wife
was alone having no one with her but
her children. and she neglected to take
the names of the passengers on the
train when she was sent to the smok-
ing car, and it is difficult to find wit
nesses to back his claim.
