Supreme Court voids Jim Crow railcar rule on constitutional grounds
The High Court held Oklahoma's Jim Crow law illegal but dismissed the injunction due to flaws in the petition. Justice Hughes led a majority ruling that sleeping dining and parlor car provisions for blacks were unconstitutional in principle, yet technical issues prevented full strike of the law. A minority agreed only on affirming the lower court, not on constitutional grounds.
