That query worked fine for me when I tested it, after adding namespace 
prefixes:

   PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
   PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
   PREFIX f: <http://example/f#>
   PREFIX : <http://example/>

   select ?ename ?grade where {
      ?emp  rdf:type  f:emp;
            foaf:surname ?ename;
            f:Sal ?sal.
       ?salgrade rdf:type f:salgrade;
            f:LoSal ?low;
            f:HiSal ?high;
            f:Grade ?grade.
     FILTER (?sal >= ?low && ?sal <= ?high)
   }

I tried it on the following test data:

   PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
   PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
   PREFIX f: <http://example/f#>
   PREFIX : <http://example/>

   :joe  rdf:type  f:emp ;
     foaf:surname "Joe" ;
     f:Sal 500 .

   :sally  rdf:type  f:emp ;
     foaf:surname "Sally" ;
     f:Sal 600 .

   :midGrade rdf:type f:salgrade ;
     f:LoSal 300 ;
     f:HiSal 900 ;
     f:Grade "Mid" .

   :highGrade rdf:type f:salgrade ;
     f:LoSal 500 ;
     f:HiSal 1200 ;
     f:Grade "High" .

And it produced the following result as expected:

?ename ?grade
Joe Mid
Sally Mid
Joe High
Sally High

I hope that helps.
