passengers shall be as good as those
furnished to white passengers for
the same money. In other words,
while there is nothing in the law
which forbids separate accommod'
atoms, these accommodations must
be equal. This principle of equal
ity of accommodation is set out ex-
plicily in various state laws. For
instance, the code of the state of
Alabama provides that there shall be
"equal but separate accommodations
for the white and colored races by
providing two or more passenger
cars for each passenger train, or by
dividing passenger cars by part
itions."
The action of the commission has
simply been to insist that the &C
Communications be equal in service
and comfort, for the same money,
wherever the separation is made
In this particular where the railroad
has neglected to comply with the
order of the commission it is inn
portant that compliance with this
order be Immediately obtained. l
suggest that you proceed to enforce
the order by injunction proceedings,
