ASK THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION TO CONSTRUE
THE LAW.
H the Commission Decides That a Ne-
8ro Can Ride in Coach Wi'ch a
White Man, an Appeal Will
be Taken.
Washington, D. C., Oct. K. It ifl
probable that the Jim Crow car law,
■uch as is in force in many of the
southern states, will soon be construed
by the Interstate Commerce Commis-
■ion. A negro of Chattanooga, claim-
ing to represent the colored people of
that city, has written the commis-
sion, protesting against the law In
Tennessee and other southern states.
The negro claims the separate car law
is in violation of the Federal Consti-
tution, in that it is a regulation of
interstate commerce. He says that the
feature of the law, as administered in
most of the states, which requires a
negro riding from a state In which
whites and negroes are not made to
ride In separate coaches to go Into
constitution is also violated by the
refusal of conductors In some states
to allow negroes to ride In Pullmans.
The commission will take up the
case. It was stated at the offices of
tbe commission this afternoon; also
it will probably be some time before
any action can be taken.
Should the commission decide that
it is unconstitutional to require
negro riding on an interstate ticket
to go to the car for negroes in en-
tering a state where the Jim Crow
law is in operation, the case will be
taken to the federal courts.
