We're most deplorable These superin-
tendents said that the men during the
evenings, Sundays and holidays were
unable to occupy their minds and had
taken to drinking and carousing and
they were rendered incapable of per
forming their best work. On account
OF these conditions m0n thousands of
dollars were lost. The superinten-
dents were at loss what to do to
better matters. The Y. NJ c. A. has
been able to cope with these condi
tons and the superintendent and
men at the head of the lumber in
dustry in Maine are doing whatever
they can to help the Y. NJ. c. A. in
its work for the Maine lumbermen.
Woods crews are composed of sew
eral classes of men: Choppers,
swampers, teamsters, sled-tenders,
cooks and cookies. Wages range from
$l5 to $40 per month. The time is
about five months, or from November
to some time in March. There is no
lie to which that of a woodsman can
be compared. Woodsmen of today are
