Hebrews who arrive from abroad with the intention of erecting
factories and industrial works, with the exception of Spirit Distilleries,
can receive the permission to do so in the pale of settlement from the
local authorities provided that, when crossing the frontier, they sign
an undertaking obliging them to erect such factories and works within
a period of three years. They are permitted to become Russian
subjects in the ordinary way. In case they do not carry out their
undertaking to erect a factory or works within the said period of
three years, they are expelled from Russia.
