Between White and Black
People on Railroads.
May Be Separated In Transit
But Otherwise Equal.
No Discrimination in Accommoda.
lions Permissible.

Washington. July S.-The Interstate
Commerce Commission, in q decision
today in the case Of Georgia Edwards,
against the Nashville, Chattanooga &,
St Louis Il. r.. held that where rail-
road provides certain accommodations
for a first-class passenger of the white
race, it is commanded by the law that
like accommodations shall be provided
for negroes who have purchased first
class tickets. 1t holds that in this case
it is manifest the railroad has unduly
and unjustly Disseminated in some
particulars against colOred passengers,
and orders that there the railroad pro-
vidcd a wash-bowl and towels in the
coaches for white passengers, and a
separate smoking compartment, SINH
lar accommodations shall be provided
for negro passengers paying similar
fare.
The complainant, who has purchased
a first-class ticket from Chattanooga.
Tenn. to Dalton, Ga, was removed
from a car for whites to one for ne
groes and complained that she was
Disseminated against because of her
color and not afforded equal facilities.
Commissioner Lane, who rendered the
commissions decision today held:
"The expense of the small smoking
compartment in the latter the car for
whites), accounts for nearly all the
difference in cost between the two
cars
He holds that the broad question Of
the right under the 18th and 14th
amendments of the Constitution to seq
regate white and cOlored passengers,
has Keen upheld by the supreme court
of the United States. The opinion con-
tinues:
Accepting these decisions as con-
elusive upon the constitutionality Of
such laws, we turn to the consideration
OF the reasonableness of such a rule
when imposed by the carrier; and this
we find to have been passed upon by
the commission within a few months
of its organization in the case of
council vs.. Western and Atlantic and
RailrOay Company which was decided
Dec. 3, 1887. and which held this sepa-
ration may be carried out on railroad
trains without disadvantage to either
race and with increased comfort to
both.
road Co.. decided Feb. Is, 1888, the COM
mission held that the separation of
white and colored passengers. paying
the same fare is not unlawful, if cars
and accommodations. equal in all re-
spects. are furnished to both and the
same cars and protection of passengers
observed. While, therefore. the reason
ablcness of such regulation as to in
terstatc passenger traffic is eSta blished.
it by no means follows that carriers
may discriminate between white and
Colored passengers in the accommodate
tons that they furnish to each. The
principal that must govern is that the
carriers must serve equally all passen-
, gers. whether white or colored, paying
the same fares Failure to do this is
discrimination and subjects the pas
senger to undue and unreasonable pref
udicc and disadvantage"
