CHURCHES Want
INJUNCTION On
LANGUACELAW
Lutherans and Catholics AS
sert That Most Of Their
Pupils Cannot Speak the
English Language.

Lutherans and Catholics joined
yesterday in asking the Douglas
county district court for an injunc-
tion against the foreign language
bill passed by the last legislature
which prohibits the teaching Of any
language except English in any
grade below the ninth.
The suit for the injunction was
filed by the Nebraska district of
Evangelical Lutheran synod Of Mis-
Ysouri and st. Francis {. Catholic
church, South Omaha. The at
torneys are "A. M. Post, Alberts &
Wagner and Arthur F. Mullen.
Want Injunction Issued.
The court is asked to- issue an in
Junction against Samuel R. Nc
Kelvie, governor 81 Nebraska
Clarence A. Davis, attorney gen
eral Of Nebraska, and Abel Shot
well, attorney for Douglas county,
restraining them from interfering'
with the parochial schools which.
IL is asserted, are compelled to teach
in languages other than English be-
cause the children do not UNDER
stand English when they enter the
schools. -
The petition asserts that the for,
eign language act as passed, in con-
PREVENTION Of the UnitedSStates and
Nebraska constitution, interferes
with the teaching of religion and
morality. retards education and
that enforcement of the act would
deprive the churches and parochial
schools Of their liberty and property
without due process of law.
The, Evangelical Lutheran Synod
of Missouri states that in its Ne
braska district it has 400 congrega-
tons. $4,000 communicate members
200 parochial schools and abou.
5000 pupils. The school property
Is valued at $2s0,0O0.
Many Speak German Only.
!. A majority of the members, says
the petition, speak and understand
German only and when the children
first come to school they cannot be
instructed in any other language. II
has been the purpose Of the synod
for some time to abolish the use of
any language except English and
already in 10 per cent of the paro-
chial schools English exclusively is
used, while in the other 90 per cent
English is used above the seventh
grade.
St. Francis Catholic church states
in the petition that its members are
all Polish and hardly any of them
can speak or understand English.
Early instruction of cllildyen-in re-
ligion, the moral and civic virtues,
is 4 cardinal doctrine of the Catho-
lie church, it is stated
If the new law is enforced the
vast majority of the 900 pupils int
the St. Francis parochial school cam
not BE instructed because they un-N
derstand only Polish when they
first come to school, says the pc
tition.
