Spencer denies Jim Crow car claim in rail rate debate
Samuel Spencer president of the Southern Railway responds to former Senator Chandler and to Pike backed charges regarding Jim Crow cars and proposed rate legislation. He says Jim Crow cars were never part of the rate issue and that railroads presented facts to Congress, with no use of discriminatory practices as a litigation tactic. He accuses critics of misrepresentation and asserts the focus remained on the merits of rate proposals and public interests.
