House Member Asks
Racial Equality for
Train Passengers
Mitchell Tells High Court
He Was Elected From
PulImun in Arkansas
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representative Mitchell. Democrat,
of Illinois, the only colored men,
ber of Congress, argued before the
Supreme Court yesterday that men,
bers of his race travelling from one
State to another we're entitled to
railroad accommodations equal to
those furnished white persons.
ITO deny this he asserted, lis
purely racial prejudice
Arguing in his own behalf, Rep
reSentative Mitchell said he had been
'forcibly elected" from a pullman
in Arkansas while travelling from
Chicago to Hot Springs in 1887, and
had been compelled to complete the
journey lin a Jim Grow car with
second class accommodations
A large number of negroes were
seated in the courtroom as Repre-
sentative Mitchell and other at
torneys debated the legal contro-
versy. Representative Mitchell's
suit for equal facilities was dis
missed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and by Federal District
Court of Northern Illinois.
Demand Called Slight.
J. Stanley Payne, assistant chief
counsel of the I. c. c., and Wallace
T. Hughes, Chicago attorney for the
railroad involved, said the demand
by Negroes in Arkansas for Pullman
facilities was virtually nom
existent"
Mr.. Payne explained that the
customary practice on the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific trains rid
den by Representative Mitchell was
to place a Negro having a Pullman
ticket in a drawing room when one
was available and to charge only
seat fare"
Justices Black, Stone and Frank
furter pointed out in questioning the
attorney that there were extra seats
on the Pullman which would have
been sold to white persons but were
denied to Representative Mitchell.
When Mr.. Payne explained that
railroads would be subjected to
heavy expense if required to provide
equal dlnlng car accommodations Tor
Negroes, Chief Justice Hughes COM
mented
"Of course, they could meet that
difficulty by admitting colored per-
sons to the dining car"
Solution Questioned.
The question then would be-" Mr..
Payne replied. whether the railroad
would have any other customers in
the dining car"
He added that there was "a SEN
timent for segregation" in certain
areas of the United States.
The Justice Department recently
filed brief contesting the position
of the l. C. c. Solicitor General
Francis Biddle asserted that the
Constitution required equal facilities
for Negroes regardless of the ex-
pense.
