Washington July S-The Interstate Commerce
Commission. IN decision to-day in the case Of
Georgia Edwards agt the Nashville Chattanooga
& ST. Louis Railroad held that where railroad
provides certain accommodations for first class
passenger of the white race It is commanded by
the law that like accommodations shall be provid-
ed for negroes who have purchased first class tick
cts. It holds that IN this case it is manifest the
railroad has unduly and unjusty Disseminated In
some particulars against COlored passengers" and
orders that where the railroad provides a wash
gers and a separate smoking compartment sim
liar accommodations shall be provided for negro
passengers paying similar fare.
The complainant. who had pure I 4 first class
ticket from Chattanooga, Tenn Dalton. Ga.
was removed from car for whit persons TO one
for negroes and complained that she discrimi-
mated against because OF her color.
Commissioner Lane, who rendered the commits
sions decision to-day, says that the expense Of
the small smoking compartment in the latter Ghe
car for whites accounts ;or nearly all the differ
ence in cost between the two cars. He holds that
the broad question of the right under the Thir
teenth and Fourteenth amendments OF the Constitu-
ton TO segregae white and colored passengers has
been upheld by the Supreme Court Of the United
States. The opinion continues

decided February IT, 1888. the commission held that
the separation of white and coOred passengers
paying the same fare is unlawful II and
accommodation equal in all respects furnished

While, therefore, the reasonabeness Of such reg

discriminate between white and colored passengers
in the accommodations that they furnish each.
The principle that must govern is that the
riers must serve equally all passengers. whether
white colored, paying the same fare. Failure to
do this is discrimination and subjects the passen-
ger to undue and unreasonable prejudice and dis
