TI - TRAIN TICKETS AS A BONE OF POLISH-UKRAINIAN CONTENTION IN GALICIA, 1908–1910 – THE LINGUISTIC ASPECT
AB - 
	At the beginning of the 20th century a Polish-Ukrainian dispute flared up in Galicia. It concerned the scope of the use of Polish, Ukrainian and German languages in the public sphere. The railway became the object of criticism of some Ukrainian politician who focused their efforts on popularizing the use of train tickets in the Ukrainian language. From 1907 until 1909 the Ukrainians proposed in the Sejm a number of parliamentary motions concerning this matter. In the autumn of 1909 they began to fight by submitting urgent motions which entered the Sejm agenda omitting the standard course of proceedings. The first motion was put forward by Zakharij Skvarka (1 October 1909), the second by Tymotej Starukh (3 February 1910). Both motions allowed to begin the initial debate in the Sejm, but they did not lead to appeasing the argument since, eventually, both were rejected by the majority of votes.
