This article reports that the city ordinance segregating street cars is still in force, despite a local company's decision to ignore it. The head of the Mobile Light and Railroad Company adopted this policy because of uncooperative passengers and loss of profits: "He said no order had been issued but that the negroes would now be allowed to sit wherever they pleased and he would test the law. He said the reason for this was because the whites would not obey the law and were continually giving the conductors trouble by refusing to sit where they were told. He said that if the law had been enforced it would have resulted in the arrest of the wife and daughter of one of the city officials and that there was hardly a car on which the whites did not cause trouble by refusing to move when they were asked to do so." |
