Manufacturers Seek
Raises for Foremen
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
The National Association of Man
ufacturers yesterday urged con-
gressional action, If necessary, tc
end what it called discrimination
against foremen in salary adjust
ments and other matters.
In statement, the NAM said
such discrimination has been re-
sponsible for strikes among foremen
in the Detroit area and for de-
mands for recognition of the Fore
mems Association of America as a
bargaining unit.
'The agitation and resentment
among foremen generally" the NAM
said, 'is almost entirely the result
of dissatisfaction over the salary
issue and the fact that in many
instances the earnings of produc-
ton workers are equal to and some
times higher than the earnings of
the foremen who supervise such
workers"
Management has been trying in
vain to adjust the salaries of super
visors to correct this situation.
Foremen have no grievance against
management on this issue. Their
complaints are against the salary
stabilization unit of the Treasury
Department and the War Labor
Board"

In reply to the letter of inquiry
on fresh water bathing spots within
range of Washington. Protected
bathing facilities are offered in
Lake Jackson, near Manassas, Va,
and at Deep Greek in the lake
area, Western Maryland. A sur
vey on this topic is planned next
week.
In the past two weeks we also
have received any number of in
quiries, chiefly from men, about a
brief item in this column on wind
jammer vacations. Here's more of
It from Maine where the Yankees
point out wind and water isn't
ratloned."
The old-time Yankee coasting
schooner Lois M. Candage sailed
last Monday from Camden, Me-,
with cargo of city folk for a
weeks rubberless vacation cruise in
the sheltered waters of Penobscot
and Bluehill Bays.
Soon six other members of the
vacation feet owned by Capt.
Frank Swift of Camden will join
the Lois, sailing from Camden on
Mondays and Tuesdays for one
and two-week trips in waters ap-
proved by the Navy and Coast
Guard. The schooners Matte,
Clinton, Lydia M. Webster, Enter
prise and Lillian are the other
ships of the feet which in yester-
year carried vast cargoes of molas-
ses from the West Indies, but now
have their hold partitioned into
small cabins and have settled down
to the business of vacation cruising.
The Swift schooner yacht Indra
also will sail for her third year with
the windjammer feet.
Ancient sailmak horny
handed caulkers and riggers have
been busy through the spring in
Camden, where they ply their
almost forgotten trades in fitting
out these sailing ships. Shippers are
old-time Yankee. captains who can
still lay aloft nirnbly. Helping
aboard the schooners is voluntary
but many OF the passengers like to
lend a hand with halyard and
sheet or stand a trick at the
wheel.
