The restriction of Jews from trading in “Pulver und Salniter” (gunpowder and nitrate) stemmed from the Government’s fear that Jews would engage in subversive, terrorist activities (or at least sell to those engaged in such activities). In this part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire there was real cause to fear Serbian nationalism, as history would later prove.
