Oil King Predicts Panic

John ID. ROckefeller'S advice to Chi
cago is to put its Migrants to work build
ing good roads. instead of driving them
forth into the country. This advice he
extends TO the whole country, together
with n warning that there are hard
times coming.
An industrial panic. due to ovelproduc-
ton in all lines, is predicted by the oil
king for 1908. In conversation with
Colonel w. II. Moore, president of the
National Good Roads Association, he
predicted that where there We're 3,OOO.-
GOO men out of work in 1893 there would
be from 100000 to 100000 men idle
in 1908.
The only way to provide work for these
millions of idle, Mr.. Rockefeller thinks,
is to put them at the task of road build
ing.
