James Chavez, a member of tlie new committee, pointed out that 85 to 95 per cent of the youth today will turnout good. The problem, as he sees it, is that they want to experiment with drugs. He noted that there must bo leaders to help the youth and sway them away from drugs.

The offer would raise current top pay rates-ranging from 53.40 to $3.60 per hour-by $1.32 over three years, but the unions objected to work-rule changes demanded by the industry in exchange for the wage liikes. Congress told rail union anc industry leaders to work out the rest of the settlement in collective bargaining during the day strike ban it imposed. The unions, whose members hadn't hnd a pay hike in 18 months, exhausted all delaying procedures under regular federal labor law before launching the walkout. Congress and President Nixon approved the strike ban two hours after the walkout began at 12:01 a.m.
