It requires all steamboat com- panies engaged as common carriers in the transportation of passengers for hire to provide separate but equal accom- modations for the white and colored races of all steamboats carrying passengers. The violation of this law is punish- able by a fine of one hundred dollars; each day is con- sidered a separate offence. 214 SEPARATION OF PASSENGERS ON STEAMBOATS On February 9, 1900, the Virginia 23 legislature en- acted a statute requiring the separation of white and ...col- ored passengers on all steamboats carrying passengers and plying in the waters within the jurisdiction of the State in the sitting, sleeping, and eating apartments, so far as the " construction of the boat and due consideration for com- fort of passengers " would permit. There must be no dif- ference in the quality of accommodations. The law makes an exception of nurses and other attendants traveling with their employers, and officers in charge of prisoners. For disobeying the law, the boat officer is guilty of a misde- meanor punishable by a fine of not less than twenty-five dollars nor more than one hundred dollars.
