Redwood District Council of Lumber and Sawmill Workers Collection RDC Record Group: No. 1, 1946-1987

Physical Description: 13 cubic feet

Record Group I

Scope and Content

This record group consists of the Redwood District Council (RDC) office files that remained in original order.
The Organizing Series consists of an intact series of alphabetical files dating from 1951-64, with the majority from the reorganization period when the U.B.of C.& J.of A. assigned up to four International representatives to organize in the RDC area. These files represent the failures. When a company was successfully organized, assigned to a local union, and had signed its first contract, it was transferred to the Contract files. If the organizing failed, the company was left in the Organizing files to provide material for future attempts. The Mutual Plywood Corporation and its successor the Mutual Plywood Division of U.S. Plywood show no less than six attempts to organize between 1951 and 1965.
The early 1950s Mutual files also provide information on the functioning of a worker-owned cooperative plywood plant. They especially illuminate the relationships between the owner-workers and non-stockholding employees and the attitudes of the RDC organizers toward stockholder employees and vice versa.
The Rainbow Lumber Company 2799 files contain a transcript of an NLRB unit determination hearing which gives a detailed description of the organization and functioning of a small mainly family-owned sawmill operation circa 1952 and the role of the Northern California Lumber Operators Association in preventing and containing union organization.
The Nelson and Walker Milling Company is a joke file purporting to be the "Onion" Agreement between International representative organizers Nelson and Walker and a house of ill repute.
The Negotiations and Contract series is incomplete, consisting of those files still in original order. When processed, the Negotiations files are a series within a series, interfiled folders of the records of the negotiations of a specific contract. The Contract files consist of organizing material from successful organizing campaigns, negotiating records, grievance material, signed contracts and miscellaneous materials. The series was filed alphabetically by company.
The Strike Files Series is a hodge-podge. The two files on the Local 598 Grants Pass Veneer Co. Cal-Ore Division Strike were created specifically for the bitter 1961 strike that basically marked the end of the RDC's presence in northern Del Norte County. The Local 2952 -Morrison and Jackson and the Local 2697 -Twin Parks files have apparently been converted from "contract to "strike" files. The Local 2952 -Morrison and Jackson file contains organizing records from 1946, contracts, and monthly financial reports and other data on Local 2592 Myers Flat --an apparently quite active small local. The strike era material details the destruction of the union hall and heavy damage to the company mill in the 1955 flood which together with the sharp lumber industry recession of 1957 apparently drove the company to force a bitter union busting strike in that year.
The Industrial Accident Case Files Series in this record group and in the records of the individual locals were created in the process of filing claims for Workers' Compensation, a service performed by the California State Council of Lumber and Sawmill Workers and its contracting law firms. The files contain a wealth of information on injuries incurred in sawmill accidents and, to a lesser extent because of the smaller membership base, logging injuries. Working at sawmills and especially logging, rank at the very top of dangerous occupations.
The Cahill Era Subject Files document the RDC locals' political role. They reveal the unions' self-conception as an integral part of the liberal wing of the Democratic Party in the "Great Society" period, working for Civil Rights and Medicare legislation at the Federal level, and fighting for liberal County Welfare benefits and the creation of the County Human Rights Commission. The file, "Reagan and the Birchers" aptly sum up their feelings toward the rise of the Reagan Right in California during the late 1960s. There are three thick files on Congressman Donald Clausen, a political enemy. The fight against the California State Right to Work Initiative in 1958 would appear to have initiated this period of political activism.
The Roy Clement Era files of the mid to late 1970s are less concerned with politics and what there is mostly concerns trying to prevent the expansion of the Redwood National Park and fighting for the best compensation and retraining package for affected lumber workers --The Redwood Employee Protection Program (REPP). The Diamond International Strike, Marysville File contains correspondence that best illuminates the Western Council's role in negotiations and the frictions inherent in its role as an industrial union operating within a craft union.
The Henderson Village Townhouses, Humboldt Plaza Apartments Series documents the RDC's role in creating moderate income housing in both Arcata and Eureka and certain unexpected landlord/tenant problems including having to deal with an unhappy tenant's union.
The highlight of the Walt Newman Era Files are those dealing with the aftermath of the Redwood National Park Expansion and the rash of plant closures during the late 1970s and the recession of 1981-82. The several REPP files and the Roundtable and Union Defense Committee files deal with this and most especially the Reagan Administration Labor Department's attempt to rewrite the REPP guidelines to drastically curtail worker benefits.

Lumber & Sawmill Workers RDC Manuscript Collection Manuscript Collection: No. 2, 1917-1985

Physical Description: 22 cubic feet

Record Group II

Scope and Content

The bulk of the RDC Manuscript Collection consists of Redwood District Council records taken out of original order and arranged into artificial series by volunteers before the advent of the project archivist.
The Historical Series contains essentially all of the material in the collection pertaining to Northcoast lumber unionism before and during the 1946 redwood strike. This one box series was created by the archivist for researcher convenience. It is divided into five sub-series according to the provenance of the material. The RDC sub-series consists of the bits and pieces of old records saved by the RDC when it destroyed most of its own records upon moving into a new building in 1958. The material as saved has little in common except for its oldness. Perhaps the most pleasant surprise in the entire collection are the 1917-1919 International Timber Workers Local #12 minutes. They constitute a brief glimpse into an earlier cycle of lumber unionism in Humboldt County that ends in a broken desperation strike to preserve the eight hour day achieved during World War I. The provenance is unclear, as the minutes were stored with fragmentary records of the first 1930s precursors of the locals which eventually formed the RDC. These include Dues Books of the American Federation of Labor Federal Local 19576 for 1934-35 and financial records for its successor renumbered 2563 when it received its charter from the U.B.of C.& J.of A. These include the expense records (but nothing more) from the broken 1935 lumber strike. The local was reorganized and rechartered as Local 2677 after the strike. The Historical Series contains the minutes of this local from late 1935 to September 1937. Two months after it bolted the U.B.of C.& J.of A. to join the International Woodworkers of America, CIO. Stuck into the back of the Minute book and now foldered separately are: A 1935 contract with a small lumber company; a CIO plan to organize the redwoods; and several dues arrears notice forms from the now IWA-CIO Local #78. The box also contained the earliest RDC convention minutes, 1941-42, which have been moved into the RDC Convention Series and certain fragmentary records from the 1946 Redwood Strike.
Part of this series are the materials contributed by local author Frank Onstine. The material on the 1935 strike was used to produce his excellent local history, The Great Lumber Strike of 1935. There is a thick folder of material on the 1946 Redwood Strike, copied from originals then in the RDC office by Noel Harris, and intended for use to produce a projected sequel on the '46 strike. The originals of this material and much more from the '46 strike period subsequently disappeared from the RDC files. The RDC brief for the War Labor Board has also been placed in this series. This box, together with a few files in the 2592 Record Group Early Office Files Series, a very few files in the Ray Nelson Collection, the 1941-42 and the fragmentary 1945 -48 RDC Conventions constitute the sum total of the collection records on the early organizing and Redwood Strike period.
The created RDC Convention Series has been expanded from partial runs in the other Record Groups to constitute as complete a set as possible. It is the best source to chart the overall evolution of the RDC locals from beginning to end with each local giving a short report of its activities --amounting to four snapshots a year per local.
Ray Nelson was the U.B.of C.& J.of A. International Representative attached to the RDC from 1952 to 1978. His duties encompassed organizing and oversight of the U.B.of C.& J.of A. locals (Construction Carpenters as well as Lumber and Sawmill) in the RDC region. The Ray Nelson Series contains three sub-series: the relatively intact Ray Nelson Desk Files consisting of 1970 organizing files; The Ray Nelson Organizing materials, created from a mass of loose material spanning 25 years with islands of original order including the 1961 Correspondence File, the only material documenting his oversight role; and lastly, there are three folders of early material including a photo of his father with a steam donkey woods crew circa 1910 (the photo is being kept with the other Ray Nelson materials as per his request) and the contracts between the Holmes-Eureka Lumber Company and Logger's Local 3061 in 1943 and 1945.

Lumber and Sawmill Workers Local Union 2592 Record Group No: 3, 1946-1986

Physical Description: 21 cubic feet

Record Group III

Historical Sketch

Local 2592 was chartered in May 1940. The local lost an organizing election at the Hammond Redwood Company in August 1941. The second attempt in April 1942 was successful and marked the RDC's first breakthrough victory into the primary redwood lumber industry.
Collective bargaining began tempestuously with a wartime strike in July 1942 before certification to the War Labor Board. The Hammond Redwood Company, like the rest of the large redwood producers, was not reconciled to permanent collective bargaining. Negotiations broke down in April 1945 (for details of the strike period see overall historical sketch) and the major redwood producers were struck in January 1946.
Local 2592 and its sister Hammond locals 2893, Carlotta, and 3006, Big Lagoon, were the only redwood locals to emerge intact and victorious from the strike of 1946-48. Hammond broke ranks with the other companies and signed a union shop contract with minimal exceptions in February 1947.
The immediate post-war period marked other momentous changes for Local 2592. Hammond hired many women during the war and women filled the top financial secretary position in the union from 1943-45. By the early 1950s, there were no women in the local.
The strike period saw an explosion of small sawmills in the region. Local 2592 represented workers in several of these mills until the harder economic times of the mid 1950s. The local was involved in long bankruptcy proceedings with the Manila Mills Company and Coast Redwood/A.K. Wilson to secure back wages for the men.
The Georgia-Pacific Company bought Hammond in 1956 and operated it under the name of Hammond Redwood Company until the early 1960s and thereafter under the Georgia-Pacific name. The sale brought confusion and low morale to the local at first, but Georgia-Pacific had developed a stable collective bargaining relationship with its operations in the Pacific Northwest and Local 2592 was integrated into this system. Local 3006, the Hammond Woods Local, shared a common contract with Hammond and later G-P. Both showed dissatisfaction with a perceived loss of autonomy attendant upon their integration into industry-wide bargaining through the Western Council of Lumber and Sawmill Workers centered in Portland Oregon. The Western Council Defense (strike) Fund, procedures for separate local issue negotiations, and the success of the 1963 negotiations and strike, converted 2592's membership into firm supporters of the Western Council by 1965. Collective bargaining relations were to remain stable for the next fifteen years.
The late 1950s and early 1960s were a period of rapid technological change. The old plants #2 and #3 were closed in 1960 and an entirely new automated sawmill was built at Samoa, which opened in 1964 with a loss of 90 members to Local 2592. Despite such setbacks, Georgia-Pacific's extensive timber holdings allowed for a measure of job security unknown by workers in the region's small sawmills.
The U.B.of C. & J. of A. forced Local 3006 to merge with 2592 in 1971 bringing in the Georgia-Pacific Woods, Big Lagoon, and Carlotta operations. Georgia-Pacific's Cloverdale trucking and later a Hayward lumber yard were added. When Georgia-Pacific was forced by federal anti-trust action to spin off Louisiana-Pacific Corp., 2592 represented the workers in the heart of the new company. The 3006 merger also brought in Fortuna Veneer and Fortuna Wood Products, owned by Abe Rochlin (See 2808) for their final three tumultuous years. The Rochlin interests closed down their operations under Local 2808's jurisdiction in 1974 and tried strikebreakers, a decertification election and finally plant closure of the Fortuna operations rather than accept the high 1975 Western Council settlement.
The 1970's saw the successful organization of both McNamera & Peepe's Arcata and Crescent City operations amid a number of other unsuccessful drives. The late 1970's saw the collapse of the plywood industry in the RDC region and the opening of a number of non-union Louisiana-Pacific operations in Northern California and elsewhere. By 1981, Locals 2592 and 2505 (Simpson Klamath sawmill) were the last remaining RDC locals with contracts.
Louisiana-Pacific labor relations grew increasingly more combative with the advent of the Reagan Administration. In 1983, Louisiana-Pacific adopted a full scale southern strategy calling for wage freezes, a two-tier wage scale with much lower wages for new hires and the gyppoing (contracting out) of woods operations. Louisiana-Pacific broke away from the industry-wide negotiations and prepared to take and break a strike. This strategy was successful despite a nationwide boycott and corporate campaign by the U.B. of C. & J. A. Local 2592 was decertified in June 1984 with the strikebreakers voting. Other Louisiana-Pacific locals were also decertified and the strike officially called off when the election appeals procedure was exhausted in 1985. The breaking of the strike was to have strong repercussions on all collective bargaining in the western lumber industry.
McNamera-Peepe went into bankruptcy and closed during the Louisiana-Pacific strike. Local 2505, Klamath, expired along with the Simpson Klamath sawmill operation in 1989. Local 2592 maintains a shadow existence as the sole survivor of the former RDC locals as of this writing in 1991.

Scope and Content

The 2592 Record Group represents the one large company sawmill local, and after a 1971 merger with Local 3006, the one extensive body of records from a woods or loggers local.
This Record Group contains our earliest correspondence files, a partially surviving series dating to 1946, with some correspondence and other records of the 1946 Redwood Strike. It also contains a two box series on the Louisiana-Pacific (L-P) Strike of 1983-85 which ended the active life of the RDC and radically transformed collective bargaining for the entire lumber industry. This series includes strike bulletins from 2592, other striking L-P locals at Oroville and in the Pacific Northwest, and from local strike support groups as well. It also contains an extensive body of newsclippings and articles on the strike, correspondence on pre-strike grievances, the union boycott and corporate campaigns. There are several files of legal documents pertaining to L-P's court injunction limiting the Local's right to picket.
The record group is arranged in a chronological progression of three complete series organized alphabetically representing systems set up by three consecutive office secretaries. They contained large accordion files which have been split up into multiple folders. There are four series paralleling the Late Series of main office files: Grievances, Job Bids, Health, Welfare and Pension Files, and the Louisiana-Pacific Strike Files. The Grievance Files are mainly copies made when union records were seized by the Federal Government (see REPP Harris Papers historical sketch) and have been organized by the archivist. The L-P strike records were somewhat disordered, as in not unusual in a strike situation.
The final series represents the records of Local 3006 and, a four year extension of records after the merger in 1971, of the Fortuna Veneer and Fortuna Wood Products Companies through a strike and final plant closure in 1975. The records were fragmentary and required a more imposed arrangement. This local began as the Hammond Woods local and shared a common contract with 2592, at first with Hammond and then with Georgia-Pacific. This record group contains most of the collection's meager holdings on loggers. The 3006 series minutes contain 1960s minutes of the loggers unit meetings and these are completed in the post merger 2592 unit meeting minutes. The 2592 contract files contained within the three series of office files contain specific loggers sections detailing logging conditions There are also loggers'grievances within the 3006 Series many of which deal with company attempts to gyppo (contract out) more of the Woods operation. The amount of logger's material is surprisingly limited even in this record group and reflects the RDC locals' concentration in the sawmill, and most heavily the plywood, sections of the timber industry.

Lumber and Sawmill Workers Local Union 2789 Record Group No.: 4, 1947-1979

Physical Description: 11 cubic feet

Record Group IV

Introduction

The Local 2789 Record Group is one of the the most interesting and complete in the Redwood District Council Collection. Mad River Plywood was the first plywood plant to open in California in February 1947. Its closure over 30 years later, in 1979, was the subject of a documentary movie. The records themselves are good, although a little sketchy for the early years. The local union meeting minutes are complete and buttressed with Executive and Grievance/Plant Committee minutes as well. There is a set of verbatim Negotiating Committee Meetings from the important 1962 contract negotiations with Weyerhaeuser that gives a rare inside view of the labor negotiation process.
Included in the Local 2789 Record Group are the minutes of Local Union 2641. This small sawmill local bargained against the same owners and management as Local 2789 and merged with this local in 1959, shortly before the sawmill closed. It appears to have been one of the most stable and long-lived small locals in the RDC. These minutes came to Humboldt State University earlier as a separate acquisition from LSW Local 2808 on the closure of the Arcata Labor Temple. They appear to be most valuable when viewed with the much more extensive Local 2789 material.
This collection was processed by Gordon Webb and Virginia Baker in April and May of 1990.

Historical Sketch

The Humboldt Plywood Company began construction of its Mad River Plywood plant in September of 1946 at the height of the RDC Redwood Strike. This Portland based firm was a leader in the rush of corporations trying to meet the booming post-war lumber market utilizing Humboldt County's inexpensive fir stumpage (1/3 of the Oregon cost) and the trained union lumber workers on strike against the redwood operators. Mad River Ply began operating in February of 1947 as the first plywood plant in California. L.S.W. Local 2789 held its first meeting the following month, March 1947, and was immediately certified as bargaining agent through an apparently uncontested election. The Local did not join the RDC until late 1948 and seems to have remained aloof from the struggle with the Redwood operators.
Local 2789 was a singularly fortunate local throughout the 1950s. While many small sawmill operators went out of business or turned on their employees and their unions in order to lower costs when the post-war housing boom cooled off in the early 50s, the plywood market remained relatively strong at this time. Local 2789 survived the 1954 strike which destroyed at least one of the other RDC locals and held out for a better settlement. When Roddiscraft Inc. moved into the area in 1956, it bought out the Humboldt Plywood and Lumber Companies and California Barrel with strikingly different results for the local unions involved and their memberships. Roddiscraft bought the declining California Barrel Company for its timber holdings only and laid off its work force of over 800 (Arcata's largest employer) almost immediately. LSW Local 2808, the longtime mainstay of the RDC, was a far different, if still successful, union centered on the less stable smaller sawmill and plywood operations, after this event (see the 2808 Record Group).
Roddiscraft also closed Humboldt Lumber Company's Maple Creek sawmill in early 1959. The employees at this sawmill had already become members of Local 2789 through a merger in 1958, and were offered jobs in Roddiscraft's expanding operations.
For Local 2789, the Roddiscraft era proved to be a kind of Golden Age. The company made a major investment in modernizing and expanding Mad River Ply and built a new state-of-the-art flakeboard plant, the first in Humboldt County. It even put in a small sawmill at the old California Barrel Company site. Altogether, 2789's membership was doubled to around 600 members. Labor management relations between the local and Roddiscraft seem to have been remarkably amicable with relatively few grievances. Up to this time, technological and economic change had worked to 2789's advantage and this may reflected in the more conservative stance on political issues taken by 2789 within the RDC.
It must have been a rude surprise to 2789's membership when one of the industry's giants, Weyerhaeuser, bought out Roddiscraft in the late 1960s with little warning. This buy-out reflected a trend within the lumber industry and especially the plywood section at this time, for large firms to purchase mid-sized ones. Locally, Georgia-Pacific had bought out Hammond California Redwood, U.S. Plywood bought the Mutual Plywood plant at Fairhaven and Simpson was steadily expanding its holdings. These take-overs were accompanied by an increased rate of technological change and a resultant loss of jobs to automation. When this was coupled with lower prices for lumber, leading to additional management cost cutting measures, the stage was set for confrontation between labor and management.
Weyerhaeuser pumped money into another upgrading of Mad River Ply and new German machinery for the flakeboard or "Timblend" plant. It even reopened the old Dolly Varden plant in Arcata, but it also began an immediate war on 2789's contract. There were constant attempts to have workers in lower paid classifications do the work of higher paid jobs or to simply speed up the work. When the Local's business agents tried to deal with these problems they were barred from the plant.
Weyerhaeuser made a more direct assault on 2789's power and finances. It was a fixed principle within the RDC to have a union shop clause requiring union membership or no contract at all. Weyerhaeuser had never granted the union shop in any of its contracts in the Pacific Northwest. Eddie Carroll, a former 2789 officer now acting in his capacity as Secretary of the RDC, organized the Weyerhaeuser woods crew into a new local, 3027.
In order to get a contract, he agreed to a maintenance-of-membership clause which prevented existing members from quitting the union except during a specific, short period of time, but did not require new employees to join the union. This was significantly weaker than a union shop agreement and 2789 felt Carroll had undermined their own stand for the union shop. Weyerhaeuser had sprung a demand for the maintenance of membership clause late in 2789's 1961 negotiations for a new contract. Carroll was removed from office at the next RDC meeting(see Overall Historical Sketch) and local 2789 refused to sign any contract rather than do without the union shop.
Relations were at their worst when Weyerhaeuser Co. foremen at the Timblend plant caught three union members in the parking lot during their shift pouring liquor into their Christmas eggnog. They were allowed to finish the shift and then they were fired. The plant manager cut the business agent off after a brief discussion, saying he was going to "make an example" of the men. The local struck the plant for a week after which a compromise settlement was reached requiring the company to offer the men jobs as new hires.
Matters had not improved when Weyerhaeuser's other contracts, primarily with locals of the International Woodworkers of America came open. The Western Council of Lumber and Sawmill Workers, for the first time, effectively joined forces with the I.W.A., against Weyerhaeuser Co., which in turn, joined forces with other large producers to form what came to be called "The Big Six."
The other Big Six producer in the RDC area was Georgia-Pacific. G-P had put similar pressures on its local employees and G-P Samoa Plywood Local 3019, had a similar strike over grievances. When a Big Six plant in Redding was struck, Weyerhaeuser Co. and G-P locked out the members of Locals 2789, 3027, 2592 and 3006 as well as locals in other areas. The lockout resulted in a relative union victory. Local 2789 got an agency shop clause in its contract requiring non-members to pay a fee equivalent to member dues. The Local was the first union to get better than a maintenance-of-membership clause from Weyerhaeuser.
In 1966, Weyerhaeuser sold Mad River Ply and its woods operation to Simpson Timber Co. and the Timblend plant to Humboldt Flakeboard. By closing the plants for several months before the sale, these companies were able not to rehire a number of older members and the woods and the flakeboard plant went non-union. Local 2789 was able to prove it represented a majority of the employees at Mad River Ply and got a contract from Simpson.
The Local had a better relationship with Simpson and the next decade passed uneventfully. Following the Western Council area-wide negotiations, 2789 struck Simpson over local issues. 2789 especially disliked Simpson's attempt to impose a grievance arbitration clause. The local sent pickets to other Simpson plants, including plants with L.S.W. and I.W.A. contracts in the Pacific Northwest, shutting down production in a wide area. In the end, the local won on arbitration by compromising on other issues.
In the 1970s, the lumber industry embarked on another round of automation and cost-cutting, and Simpson permanently closed Mad River Ply, despite spending more than $1 million in plant improvements a short time previously.

Scope and Content

This record Group, Local 2789 is noteworthy for the completeness and breadth of coverage provided in its minutes. The set of Local 2789 union meeting minutes are complete and the meeting minutes of Local 2641, the small sawmill local which merged with 2789 in 1958 may be complete as well. Both of these sets of minutes are written in a terse, somewhat uninformative style. The coverage is best for important events such as strikes. What really makes the 2789 minutes impressive is the various committee minutes: Executive Committee, Grievance/Plant Committee, and Negotiations Committee. Together, they fill out the information provided by the union meeting minutes, and also provide some excellent snapshots of American industrial relations. As noted in the introduction, the verbatim minutes of the 1961-62 Weyerhaeuser negotiations give an inside view of the collective bargaining process. The Plant Committee, really a joint labor/management committee representing a step in the grievance procedure, provides a great deal of information about problems in a modern industrial plant and the different perspectives of management and labor towards solving these problems. The series of meetings held following the announcement of the final closure of Mad River Ply are especially revealing.
The correspondence files are less satisfactory. There is nothing before 1950 and very little before the Roddiscraft buy-out in 1958. Even after 1958 they seem incomplete. The minutes are best on illuminating relations with other levels of the Carpenters such as the Redwood District Council of Lumber and Sawmill Workers. Perhaps the most revelatory correspondence is in the Weyerhaeuser Negotiations files.
The Contract files appear to be complete back to the establishment of the Mad River plant in 1947. Financial records are a bit more spotty, but the collection does have all of the monthly financial statements from May 1948 into the 1960s.

Lumber and Sawmill Workers Local Union 2808 Record Group No: 5, 1942-78

Physical Description: 29 cubic feet

Record Group V

Historical Sketch

Local union 2808 was chartered July 15, 1937 immediately after the existing U.B. of C. & J. of A. local in the area, 2677, seceded to join the rival International Woodworkers of America-CIO (IWA).
The California Barrel Co., Arcata's leading employer from the turn-of-the-century, had a long history of anti-unionism. Carpenter's organizer Don Cameron managed to raise the specter of a militant, radical CIO threat sufficiently to induce Cal-Barrel management not to oppose Local 2808's organizing efforts. A first contract was quickly signed.
The company must have been surprised to find CIO sympathizers in firm control of the local for the first years of its existence. Local officers Cy Young and Joe Stapp freely cooperated in joint projects with CIO leaders. Still, collective bargaining appears to have been remarkably peaceful and strongly anti-radical Stanley Jordan had assumed leadership by 1942.
Cal-Barrel utilized mainly fir and spruce rather than redwood; and, as a secondary manufacturer of wood products, stood somewhat apart from primary redwood lumber producers. Likewise, Local 2808 maintained close relations with box making locals in other areas and was not greatly involved in the struggle to organize the redwood companies and the grueling redwood strike of 1946-48.
Cal-Barrel's primary lines of wooden packing boxes and fruit crates were becoming obsolescent by the early 1950s and 2808's membership began to decline. Still, the local was one of the largest local unions on the Northcoast and the local's foresight in purchasing a building in 1940 and creating the Arcata Labor Temple gave it rental income and remarkable financial stability, with the lowest dues of any RDC union. Gradually, Local 2808 took on more of a role in the RDC and by the mid-1950s, Stan Jordan was a recognized leader within it. Jordan saw weak and unstable locals in the RDC and felt that an expanded Local 2808 could provide greater service, strength and stability to the membership through mergers.
By the early 1950s the post-war housing and lumber boom was over and the lumber market was settling into a new cyclical pattern of boom and bust. This spelled harder times for both small lumber companies and their workers. The unionized small operators were feeling squeezed by the big lumber operators with extensive timber holdings and non-unionized small operators who cut corners where ever they could.
The Northern California Lumber Operators Association, NCLOA, was formed in 1951 to represent small lumber operators in both the redwood and pine areas across Northern California. It responded to the changing economic pressures with a kind of defense/offensive labor relations strategy. It negotiated when it had too and tried union busting decertification elections when its manager, Charles Rubyn, thought they would succeed.
The formation of the NCLOA paralleled the mergers of RDC small-mill locals into multi-employer locals with enough members to survive economic slumps and which could afford to hire a full time business agents. Local 2799, founded in Arcata in 1944 to represent workers at the small fir operator G. L. Spier, at first shared a business agent with two other small Arcata area locals 2726 (Sound Lumber Co.) and 2893 (Dolly Varden Lumber Co.) through 1951; they merged in 1952.
1954 saw the largest industry-wide strike since 1935 in the West Coast lumber industry. The strike was noticeably less successful in far Northern California than in Oregon, Washington and even Central California. Local 2698, which represented workers at Arcata's Twin Parks Lumber Company, had its membership vote to walk through the RDC picket line and return to work.
The NCLOA took an aggressive stance both during and after the strike. One of its targets was Local 2799, which it sued during the strike. In 1955, it orchestrated a series of decertification elections against Local 2799 and several small, single unit sawmill locals. This attack, in conjunction with plant closures, an IWA raid on the Dolly Varden unit, and apparently the personal problems of business agent Tom Baxter, destabilized even the expanded Local 2799 making it a good candidate for a merger.
Local 2678, founded in 1951, represented two medium sized Arcata plywood plants, Durable Plywood and Arcata Plywood (owned by entrepreneur Abe Rochlin). The local had hired ex-RDC Secretary, Bill Abbay, Jr., as business agent in 1953 but could not afford to retain him after incurring heavy expenses in several strikes at Arcata Plywood in late 1953 and early 1954. The local had a part-time financial secretary until the end of 1955. It too sought a merger in order to obtain the full time officer it could not quite afford on its own. Local 2808, with its large membership and reliable finances, seemed the ideal merger vehicle to stabilize these locals' memberships. The mergers were consummated in December 1955. Local 2569, which represented workers at Van de Nor Lumber Col, had also just voted to merge with 2799 and joined it in the merger with Local 2808. Local 2808 seemed on its way to becoming the dominate local of the RDC.
The next several months brought cataclysmic change to the local. Cal-Barrel, Arcata's largest employer for half a century, closed down almost overnight and announced its sale to Roddiscraft Inc., the new owner of the Humboldt Plywood Co. and its Mad River Plywood plant (See Local 2789-RG Historical Sketch). The new company needed Cal-Barrel's extensive timber holdings for the plywood plant and the new state-of-the-art flakeboard plant already on the drawing boards. It would appear highly improbable that Roddiscraft had any intention of operating an obsolescent box and barrel plant. Still, the company managed to shift to Local 2808 the opprobrium for laying-off 800 Arcata residents by suggesting that the mill could be operated on a non-union basis with reduced wages and loss of seniority rights. The local refused and was bitterly assailed in the local press for causing the plant closure.
The local emerged from 1956 a very different, if still large and effective, union. Gone was the local of closely knit, long time Arcata residents, frequently of Portuguese extraction. This local had been highly disciplined with mandatory meeting attendance. It had been a vital part of Arcata's community life with the Labor Temple lent out gratis for many events. The new local was at first largely Local 2799 expanded by the addition of the two former 2678 plywood operations and the old 2808 financial resources. Leonard Cahill, 2799's business agent for the last few months of its existence, soon displaced long time 2808 business agent (1942 -56) Stanley Jordan. Mandatory meetings were scrapped and the attendance fell off markedly. The new 2808 member was more likely to be a Dustbowl emigrant rather than an Arcata (or Portugal) native. Cal-Barrel had hired women for certain of jobs. None of the new companies did.
Still the diverse elements of the new 2808 seem to have knit remarkably well with none of the problems that seemed to perennially plague the RDC's other conglomerate local, 3006. The local lost Van De Nor in a NCLOA inspired decertification and the former Dolly Varden (now Jolly Giant mill) to an IWA raid in early 1956; but these were left over problems from the earlier locals. In late 1956 or 1957, Local 2808 expanded into Humboldt County's hinterland taking in the recently organized Rochlin operation at Orleans, the Orleans Veneer Company with short lived Local 2917. Local 2666, Hoopa, was added shortly after along with several short lived lumber operations in the Salyer area. These operations fit well with the local's established bargaining relationships. Arcata Plywood members of 2808 instigated the organization of fellow Rochlin employees at Orleans Veneer and the new Hoopa members who worked for the Trinity River Lumber Co., a NCLOA member. The local could negotiate for its diverse membership with only two sets of negotiations, Rochlin and NCLOA, though both of the Rochlin operations and all the NCLOA member companies signed separate contacts. This was to be the local's pattern for the next decade.
The distant operations in Orleans and Hoopa could easily have led to communications problems as could the large number of small units in the Arcata area. Local 2808 handled this load with a single business agent, after Stan Jordan left in 1957, and the lowest dues of any union in the RDC. In 1960, Local 3006 had four paid staff and two offices to cover fewer units than 2808 and received constant complaints about lack of service (to judge from its G-P Plywood unit later 3019) along with constant dissention.
Local 2808, under Leonard Cahill, would appear to have developed a highly effective shop steward and plant committee system. The Orleans Veneer operation in particular was represented by several remarkable shop stewards (to judge by their correspondence). The low dues were partially due to the Arcata Labor Temple and the rental income it generated. It is interesting to note there was never to be another successful decertification or raid on 2808 operations after 1956. The local successfully beat off a mass decertification attempt by four of the Arcata NCLOA operations in 1961 with Cahill giving full credit to the shop stewards and plant committees.
The late 1950s and the 1960s saw a gradual shrinkage of the NCLOA operations through plant closure. The Hoopa and Salyer operations were gone by 1960. Durable Plywood closed in 1964 but was reopened the next year by the Rochlin interests as Orleans Veneer Mill B. The last of the small sawmills was gone by the early 1970s.
These membership loses were partially made up by organizing the Humboldt Fir Company in 1968 which added several hundred new members, but by the early 1970's the medium size plywood operation, 2808's mainstay, was on the way out in Humboldt County. Humboldt Fir went into bankruptcy in 1972 resulting in prolonged litigation to collect unpaid health, welfare and pension contributions. Masonite bought the plant and kept on the employees to become Local 2808's last working members. Abe Rochlin shut down Orlean's Veneer Mills A, B and (short lived) C in 1974 after closing Arcata Plywood several years earlier (See also Rochlin Fortuna Veneer and Fortuna Wood Products in The 3006 Series of the 2592 Record Group).
Masonite Hoopa closed in 1978. The Brookings Plywood plant in Salyer, organized by Otha Ray (2808's last business agent, 1964-79), closed before the first contract could be signed.
Without contracts, the local merged with Local 2931 in 1979 bringing in retirees and a $20,000 organizing fund to pay Otha Ray to organize for Local 2931 and service the 2808 retirees.

Scope and Content

Record Group 2808 has a diverse history. From 1938-1955, Cal-Barrel was the mainstay of the local. Later, it succeeded remarkably well in integrating multiple units of small lumber company workers in the Arcata area and small plywood workers units as far away as Hoopa and Orleans. The prime material from the Cal-Barrel Era series is a complete run of well organized, typed minutes from 1942-1964. The first five years of the Cal-Barrel Era are missing, with the minutes extending past Cal-Barrel's closing in 1955 through the merger of several locals into 2808. One of the unique aspects of these minutes is the stability of the Recording Secretary's position. Charles Adams served the local from 1946-1964. After Adams' tenure, the minutes are sporadic, incomplete and often illegible.
Another unique feature of local 2808 is the acquisition of the Arcata Labor Temple in the early 1940s. The Labor Temple provided the local with an income, a meeting place, and opportunities for community service. The Hall Rent Ledger which shows who rented the Temple from 1950-1971 and the Bulletin Board Advertisement are two documents of interest from the Labor Temple located in the Cal-Barrel Era Series.
The sale of Cal-Barrel to Roddiscraft in 1956 marked the dissolution of the one company local. The Series, Consolidations, consists of one folder, but it is instrumental to the configuration of the local from 1955 on. Locals 2579, 2666, 2678, 2799, and 2917 merged into 2808 in 1955-56. Thereafter, 2808 was comprised of the employees of several companies.
The best material on these locals prior to their merger into 2808 is contained in local 2678, which is highlighted by the documentation of a strike in 1953-54 during the tenure of Business Agent William Abbay, Jr. The 2678 strike files are found in the Rochlin Corporate Group Series, the most complex and interesting of all the small lumber operators. The Rochlin group consists of several holdings, the primary one being Arcata Plywood.
An outstanding feature in the Rochlin Series is a run of correspondence between shop stewards at remote Orleans Veneer and Lumber Co. Mill A, and various union officials. The most colorful correspondent was shop steward C. B. "Clancy" Mills. Clancy's correspondence runs from 1959-64. Women shop stewards are another interesting facet of Orleans Mill A.
The Rochlin Corporation, run by entrepreneur Abe Rochlin and his son Larry, controlled its lumber mills through an intricate series of operating and holding companies that resembles a shell game more than anything else. The key to understanding these holdings are two documents: the "Transcripts of Proceedings: Negotiations Regarding the Effects of the Plant Closure, Sept. 4, 1974" and "Financial Review and Analysis of Rochlin Holdings, 3/6/75."
The NCLOA Series is unique in the collection in dealing with collective bargaining with small sawmill operators. Local 2799 (merged 1955) was itself the product of four merged small sawmill locals. Unfortunately there is little in the series on these earlier locals. The volatile world of the small lumber operator proved too difficult to stabilize even the expanded Local 2799 and it appears to have been in some disorder at the time of the merger with 2808. The series details several decertifications shortly after the 2808 merger. The turbulence within this sector is perhaps best illustrated by the Local 2579/Van De Nor Lumber file. This single company local voted to merge with Local 2799 the same month 2799 voted to merge with 2808. The Van De Nor workers then voted to decertify the union shortly thereafter. Local 2808 appears to have succeeded in stabilizing the sector within a year or so.
The NCLOA Series also illuminates the defensive/offensive role of the small operators association, the Northern California Lumber Operators Association. The series amply demonstrates the Association's role in negotiating general settlements which its member companies were free to accept or reject as they chose. The series also illustrates the NCLOA's role in orchestrating attempts to de-unionize its constituent companies when the chance arose. A number of files detail a mass decertification try by most of the NCLOA companies which 2808 foils in 1964.
The final period of 2808 in the 1970s is documented in the Humboldt Fir/Masonite Series and in the Organizing Series in which 2808 successfully organizes several companies which close before contracts are signed.

Record Group VI

Historical Sketch

The Malarky and Malarky or M and M Eureka Plywood plant was opened in 1948 during the post-war lumber boom. M and M had been operating plywood plants in the Pacific Northwest and had a well established collective bargaining relationship with U.B. of C.and J. of A. lumber and sawmill locals in that region.
Local 2931 was organized soon after the plant opened and was integrated into the existing M and M Joint Collective Bargaining Board (JCBB). The JCBB performed many of the functions of a district council and Local 2931's presence in the RDC during the M and M years was accordingly minimal.
Early labor relations seem to have been amicable achieving the first settlement in the industry in 1952. 2931 and the other JCBB locals did not need to join the industry-wide strike of 1954 after reaching an interim agreement on the eve of the strike. The company abruptly closed its long established Longview, Washington plant at this time; and moved production to a new plant at Albany, Oregon.
M and M Plywood Company was bought out by the Simpson Redwood Co. in 1956, the year of a wave of buy-outs that was to transform the lumber industry in the RDC area and integrate it much more closely with the Pacific Northwest.
Paradoxically, the Simpson buy-out was to integrate 2931 more closely into the RDC, especially with other RDC Simpson locals: 2505, Klamath; 3006, Simpson, Arcata and later Simpson Mad River Plywood, Local 2789. All RDC locals were learning to integrate their negotiations with industry-wide patterns negotiated by the Western Council. Same-company RDC locals began to coordinate their local issue negotiations and give each other strike support.
Simpson ran a "tighter ship" than the family owned M and M and there were adjustment problems but collective bargaining settled into a stable pattern for the remainder of 2931's existence. Their were several contract strikes and local issue strikes over grievances and 2931 honored picket lines established by other Simpson locals, notably an IWA Shelton, Oregon local's strike over sexual harassment of a woman member.
The Simpson Co. bought the closed U.S. Plywood Mutual Division plant in Fairhaven on the Samoa peninsula and moved operations there from the Eureka plywood plant in 1967. The new Simpson Fairhaven Plywood plant was staffed by 2931 members and remained under the local's jurisdiction. The Company spent millions of dollars refurbishing the old Eureka plant and reopened it for a few months in 1969 as Eureka Specialty, then closed it again permanently.
2931's membership enjoyed the relatively greater job security of the plywood sector of the lumber industry during the 1950s and 1960s. By the 1970s, this began to change, despite Simpson Fairhaven's near monopoly on redwood plywood. Layoffs and curtailments grew increasingly frequent.
The Fairhaven mill closed in 1981 with Local 2931 remaining in existence until the mill equipment was sold in 1983.

Scope and Content

This Record Group comes with an unusual, and very necessary finding aid --its own card index. The cards have been eliminated for files that no longer exist. Falling outside the system are: The Minutes Series, Plant Committee Minutes and Notes Series, Negotiations and Contracts Series, Strike Files Series, and the Meeting and Working Files Series. Certain series predate the system: the Office Files: Old Series which contains records created before the advent of business agent Noel Harris and office secretary Ina Harris, and the Office Files: Transitional Series from their first several years in office. The Carl Brandt Files Series covers the last eighteen months before plant closure and afterward until the plant was sold and the local formally merged into 2592.
Ina Harris' card system #1, #2, and #3 Files follow a logic all their own, which is not apparent without the card file and its subject cross referencing. It is best to start searching them by looking through the card file.
The local minutes lack only the first year, but are otherwise notable only for their brevity. Perhaps the most interesting file in the entire record group is the M and M Joint Bargaining Board File in the Office Files Old Series, some of its minutes date to 1943, well before the building of the Eureka Plywood Plant and the establishment of Local 2931. This file contains good detail on the early multi-plant bargaining and the only surviving correspondence with the Malarky and Malarky Company. The last two M and M contracts, 1955 and 1956 are contained in the Negotiations and Contracts Series. Little else survives from before the Simpson buy-out in 1956. Clarence Purnell replaced Joe Stockwell as business agent shortly after the buyout and there appears to have been a general clearing out of old records from this local along with the RDC office files and the Local 2808 Cal-Barrel Era records attendant upon moving into the new RDC office building in 1958. The Plant Committee minutes begin in 1957 and almost no correspondence files predate this time.
The 2931 Strike Files are the best strike files from the 1970s period in the collection, with the important exception of the 1975 Fortuna Veneer/Fortuna Wood Products Strike file in the 3006 series of the 2592 Record Group. The Simpson/Shelton IWA Sexual Harassment 10/25/79 Strike File is especially interesting, dealing with a solidarity strike in support of a woman in another plant covered by a local in another international union.
The most significant files in the card file system are probably the political and other subject files such as: The United Farm Workers, 1967-79, the Redwood Park 1966-74 and the Redwood Park Expansion 1975-77 files, Political Legislation: Letters to Congress etc, Jobs Bill/Redwood Park/Dept of Labor 1977-78 and 1978-79, and Women/Grievances --Sexual Harassment 1977-78.
The correspondence files are scattered and again best found through the card file. Safety information can be found in the OSHA Files and the Safety Meeting Files. The Carl Brandt Series includes the Plant Closure File, the REPP File and Union Defense Committee Files which document the effort to gain and protect worker rights to post-closure benefits and retraining.
