Preachers Pass.
Law Ruled Out
by Injunction
Railroad Prohibited From
Observation-Disclosures I'm
constitutional, Court
Holds.

Lincoln, Dec. 4.-Ruling that the
preachers pass law Is discrimina-
tory and unconstitutional. District
Judge w. NJ. Morning today issued an
injunction prohibiting all railroads in
Nebraska from issuing passes to
preachers or others engaged in char
table work. The action was brought
by the state ex rel C. A. Sorenson
against five railroads operating in
Nebraska.
There is no just or reasonable
basis for ercepting ministers of reli-
gion and charity workers from the
operation of the anti-pass law" the
opinion sets out. and continues that
the law is 'in violation of Article 3
of the constitution of the state for
bidding special legislation.
Discussing the law further the opin.
ion says ito me, to say that school
teacher. a university professor. a So
cial worker. a doctor, lawyer,
merchant or a farmer is guilty OF a
crime and is liable to severe penalty
for accepting a pass and that a minis
ter or charity worker is not. and that
in the former case the company is
liable for giving a pass and in the
latter case is not. is mere arbitrary
legislation having no reasonable or
just basis"
Concluding. the opinion stated that
Senate file No. SO Is held unconsti-
tutional and void and the defendants
are hereby enjoined and prohibited
from giving free passes or reduced
transportation to ministers Of religion
and persons engaged in eleen'osynary
work, charitable activities or others
except as exempted before the passage
of the law.
The Burlington, Missouri Pacific,
Northwestern. Rock Island and the
Union Pacific railroads were named
as defendants in the suit.
