LEADING JEWS OF RUSSIA PAY
RESPECTF TO NEW GOV-
ERNMENT.

Prince Lvoff Says "Forget the Past
and Let Us Work Together as

Brothers in Future."

The latest issue of the Novoe Vremya
(anti-Semitic under the old regime)
reaching this country from Petrograd
contains an interesting account of a
meeting of leading Jews, prominent in
the public life of Russia, with Prince
Lvoff, the Premier of the Provisional
Government.
N. M. Friedman. member of the
Duma, in the name of the delegation
greeted the Provisional Government. He
praised the Government for its action
in abolishing at one stroke all disabili-
ties to which the old regime subjected
millions of Russian subjects on account
of nationality or religion. This act re-
moved the stain of oppression and per-
secution with which the old regime be-
smirched the name of the Russian
people, said Friedman. Those hither-
to in power sought to sow discord
among different elements of the nation
in order to divert the people's wrath
from themselves by confusing the
awakening civic consciousness. As Dep-
uty Friedman had repeatedly pointed
out in his speeches in the old Duma,
at great risk to his own life, the Jews
knew very well that the Russian people
were not to blame for the persecutions
and that freedom for all Russia would
bring with it equal rights for the Jews
along with all other nationalities in Rus-
sia. That happy hour had now arrived.
In obedience to the will of the people,
the Provisional Government had abolish-
ed all the disabilities that weighed it
down, and on its part the now emanci-
pated Jewish people would do all its
power and devote every ounce of its
energy to help in common with all the
other nationalities of Russia, to repel
the enemy and in every way support the
Provisional Government in its work of
safeguarding the freedom just won.
Replying to the delegation, Prince
Lvoff
"I am infinitely grateful to you for
your greetings. The Provisional Gov-
ernment regarded it as a high honor and
a privilege to remove the stain of out-
lawry from the name of the Russian
people. Never have I been so deenly
stirred as at this moment. We are liv-
ing through moments of supreme happi-
ness. Let us forget the past and work
together like brothers for the strength-
ening of new Russia's freedom."

The tremendous expansion of business now in sight, the much better outlook
for crops and the undiminished demand from abroad for all the goods we can furnish,
places industrial companies on the threshold of an era of the greatest prosperity in
their history. Producers of raw materials (Iron, Steel, Foodstuffs, Chemicals, etc.),
are fundamentally sound, their products being essential.
The business of the Charcoal Iron Company of America, which is the largest
producer in the world of Charcoal Pig Iron, Wood Alcohol, Acetate of Lime and
'other chemicals, continues to reach tremendous dimensions.
A comparison of their last quarterly statement with the one for the same period
of 1916, shows that this company has paid all accumulated and current Preferred
dividends in addition to placing the common on 6% annual basis January 1st, 1917;
has reduced Notes Payable from $206,632.00 to $13,500.00; entirely written off cost
of Acetone Plant ($96,000.00) ; built up a special reserve fund of $297,414.01 ; antici-
pated Income, Capital Stock and Excess Profit taxes by reserving $44,483.69 for this
purpose, AND QUADRUPLED THEIR SURPLUS.
The Preferred stock (par value $10) is a particularly' attractive investment,
backed by approximately $20 per share in tangible assets and yields about 94% at
k t
present market.
The Common stock is a dividend payer with excellent speculative possibilities.
We specialize in both issues and will be pleased to carry them on conservative
margin.
