This article compares street car ordinances in Mobile and New Orleans: "Of the two the Mobile law seems to be the best, for it does not require the making of separate compartments in the cars, but simply that white passengers shall be seated in the front part and colored passengers in the rear part of the cars." In both cities the African American citizens are boycotting the street cars in response to the new laws, but the author expects the Mobile protest to be unsuccessful because the situation there is similar to that in Montgomery: "The consequence is that in Montgomery the separation ordinance operates smoothly, the negroes learning very soon that in avoiding the cars they were hurting themselves more than were hurting the street car company; and, moreover, that the new ordinance gave them rights in the cars which they never had enjoyed before." |
