INTRODUCTION
Records of the Louisiana Central Lumber Company and associated companies. The
papers include correspondence, 1901-1945, financial records, company reports, maps, photographs, and other materials related to the southern lumber industry.
DONOR INFORMATION
The records were donated to the University of Missouri by the Louisiana Central Lumber
Company on 27 November 1961 (Accession No. 3497).
ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND HISTORY
The Louisiana Central Lumber Company with sawmills in Clarks and Standard,
Louisiana, was one component of a group of lumber companies headquartered in Kansas City,
Missouri. The main company, which acted as the sales agent for the lumber produced by the
subsidiary lumber mills, was the Missouri Lumber and Land Exchange Company, which was
later renamed Exchange Sawmills Sales Company. The parent lumber company was the
Missouri Lumber and Mining Company with mills in Grandin and West Eminence, Missouri.
Another Missouri mill was the Ozark Land and Lumber Company in Winona, Missouri.
The Missouri lumber group expanded its operations into Louisiana by buying up lumber
mills and timber or by constructing its own mills. The Louisiana Central Lumber Company was
established in Clarks in 1902 with the Standard mill following in 1906. The Standard mill closed
in 1933, the Clarks mill in 1953.
Associated with Louisiana Central Lumber Company were other Louisiana subsidiaries:
the Louisiana Long Leaf Lumber Company with mills in Fisher and Victoria; the Forest Lumber
Company with a mill in Oakdale organized in 1913; the Louisiana Sawmill Company in Glenmora organized in 1918, closed 1929; and the White-Grandin Lumber Company in Slagle, near
Leesville (also organized in 1918), closed 1931.
Each lumber company had several basic divisions: the land office which oversaw the
purchase and sale of land and timber rights; the lumber camps and tree cutting operations; the
railroad division which transported the timber from the lumber camps to the sawmill; the sawmill which processed the lumber; and the hotels, hospitals, stores, churches, schools, houses, and
other activities associated with company towns.
The lumber mills had subsidiary railroad companies to transport lumber from the mills to
the lumber yards. The Ouachita and Northwestern Railroad Company was a subsidiary of
Louisiana Central Lumber Company; and the Victoria, Fisher, and Western Railroad Company
serviced the Louisiana Long Leaf Lumber Company.
The major stockholder and officer of this group of lumber companies was John Barber
White (1847-1923), of Kansas City. In 1919 J.B. White's health began to fail and his son,
C3660 Louisiana Central Lumber Company, Clarks, Louisiana, Records
Page 2
Raymond, became active in the lumber business eventually taking his father's place as chief
officer of the lumber companies.
C.E. Slagle was general manager of the Louisiana Central Lumber Company in Clarks
and Standard from 1902 until his retirement in 1927. He was succeeded by C.C. Sheppard, who
had been manager of other saw mills in the system in Missouri and the Louisiana Sawmill
Company in Glenmora. Upon Sheppard's death in 1949, Mayo M. Iles became the third and last
general manager of LCLC. J.W. Clarkson was the land superintendent in charge of all land
transactions.
Lumber production at LCLC reached its highest levels during World War I and in the
1920s. The industry was hard hit during the economic depression of the 1930s, and following
the end of government controls after World War II, production continued to decline.
By the 1950s virtually all of the company's land holdings had been sold and most of the
lumber operations ceased. The sawmill in Clarks closed in 1953, ending 51 years of operation.
SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE
The records of the Louisiana Central Lumber Company are an exceptionally complete
collection of business records that document the history of one of the largest lumber concerns in
Louisiana and provide insight into the workers' lives.
The bulk of the collection deals with the Louisiana Central Lumber Company, although
the collection includes correspondence with and assorted financial records of other sawmills in
J.B. White's lumber organization such as the Louisiana Long Leaf Lumber Co., the Forest
Lumber Co., the Louisiana Sawmill Co., and the White-Grandin Lumber Co.
The records furnish a comprehensive picture of the company's land and timber transactions, sawmill and lumber operations; financial organization; interaction with other lumber
companies and lumber operators' organizations in the region; relations with company employees
and labor unions; social relations with employees; and interaction with local, state, and federal
government agencies.
The collection should prove valuable not only to those interested in business and
industrial history, but also to those studying work and organized labor, social and community
history, the environment, race relations, and southern history.
Although founded in the early twentieth century, Louisiana Central Lumber Company had
much in common with nineteenth century industrial practices and theory. It was a paternalistic
company, attempting to extend maximum control over its labor force both in the workplace and
in the private lives of its employees, most of whom lived in company housing in company towns
and camps.
The company was strongly opposed to labor unions and actively worked to prevent the
organization of its workforce into labor unions. The collection provides significant information
on the formation and repression of southern labor unions, particularly the Industrial Workers of
the World and the Brotherhood of Timber Workers.
As the company prospered, it reflected national business trends and events; railroad
strikes, fluctuations of the domestic lumber market, the depression of the 1930s, World Wars I
and II, and the growing intrusion of federal and state government in company activities are all
illustrated in the collection.
The collection also documents the general resource utilization and environmental
practices (and lack of ecological awareness) of Southern lumbermen during the early part of the
C3660 Louisiana Central Lumber Company, Clarks, Louisiana, Records
Page 3
twentieth century.
Black workers formed a large portion of the workforce in the southern lumber industry.
The collection documents racial aspects of company labor practices, the labor union movement,
and social relations in the segregated company towns.
The collection is arranged into six series: Correspondence, Financial Records,
Reports, Photographs and Maps, Economic and Lumber Industry, and Volumes. A series
list follows.

Because the Correspondence series is so extensive, no attempt has been made to index
or describe every significant company event. What follows is a general summary of the kinds of
topics that appear throughout the correspondence section. Specific noteworthy events are later
highlighted. The correspondence, arranged chronologically, dates from 1901 through 1945.
The correspondence series contains letters concerning the sale and purchase of land and
timber rights, deeds, descriptions of land, maps, land prices, negotiations with landowners to
purchase land, and correspondence with lawyers concerning legal title to land. Letters from men
and women inquiring about job openings in the sawmill, on the railroad, in the town as doctors,
barbers, store and hotel managers, and in the office are also in the collection.
There is material on the construction of new sawmills at Clarks (1902-1903), Standard
(1906-1907), and Oakdale and Glenmora (1918-1919), and the rebuilding of mills after fires;
description of construction, specifications for buildings and materials needed, machinery and
equipment for mills and railroads, construction of railroads, correspondence with locomotive and
machinery makers, problems installing machinery and getting mills into operation, breakdowns
in equipment, financial problems and difficulties in meeting loans and making payments for
machinery. There are also letters about repairing, replacing, and upgrading machinery already in
operation, and making buildings and machinery fire and accident safe.
Railroad and freight rates; shipping costs; problems with railroad car shortages; the
Ouachita and Northwestern Railroad Company; the Louisiana Railroad Commission concerning
railroad rules and regulations, shipping rates and routes, depots, etc.; and the Interstate Commerce Commission are covered in the correspondence.
Taxes and tax assessments, local parish and state tax assessment and tax policies, war
profits taxes during World War I as well as banking transactions and financial arrangements,
company dividends and stock offerings, lists of stockholders can be found in the series.
Lumber industry organizations such as the Southern Lumbermen's Association, Southern
Lumber Manufacturers' Association, Southern Lumber Operators' Association, Yellow Pine
Manufacturers' Association, and Texas and Louisiana Saw Mill Association concerning freight
rates, control of competition, maintaining uniform grades of lumber, uniform terms of sale, the
labor situation and prevention of unionization, shortage of railroad cars, uniform wages and
hours, and other forms of cooperation among lumbermen, especially during World War I are a
part of the series.
Union activities are covered as well. During 1911 and 1912 the Brotherhood of Timber
Workers (BTW), led by Arthur Lee Emmerson, was active in Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and
Arkansas. The labor union sent representatives to lumber camps and mills to organize locals and
sign up members. The BTW organized both black and white workers and the position of blacks
in the union was often an issue. In 1912 the BTW became associated with the Industrial Workers
of the World, also known as the Wobblies.
In this collection, most of the information about the union is contained in documents
representing the operators, who were strongly opposed to having their industry unionized. To
combat the labor union, mill owners and managers formed the Southern Lumber Operators'
Association, which coordinated efforts to suppress the union. Undercover detectives were sent to
the lumber camps and towns to identify union sympathizers, who were later fired and blacklisted.
The SLOA regularly reported to its members on union strength and sympathy among workers in
lumber mills throughout the region and on the degree of support the union received from merchants and town people. Worker interest in labor unions, especially the IWW, continued
C3660 Louisiana Central Lumber Company, Clarks, Louisiana, Records
Page 5
throughout the 1910s and the company persisted in trying to weed out union sympathizers.
Lumber grades and quality, costs of shipping and railroad rates, shipping and filling
orders on time, correspondence with salesmen about dissatisfied customers appear as subjects in
the correspondence.
Clarks, Standard, Slagle, Glenmora, and the numerous lumber camps were essentially
company towns, under the direct control of the company. The company played a leading role in
establishing churches and schools, operating stores, garages, and barbershops, running hotels and
boarding houses, building and renting houses, and supplying medical care. At various times the
company tried to control drinking and gambling and other leisure activities of its workers. Such
town activities are described in this series.
Workmen's compensation is a subject in the correspondence. Lumber mills were
dangerous places and workers were frequently injured on the job. The company was reluctant to
admit fault and to pay compensation to workers and their families for injuries or deaths. In 1915
the state of Louisiana mandated workmen's compensation and the regular reporting of accidents
by the company doctor to an insurance company for payment to the injured worker or his family.
The correspondence is a source of letterhead stationary containing drawings of lumber
mills, lumber, trees, forests, and logs; railroads; machinery, stores, hotels, wagons, and loading of
goods.
The Financial Records series includes annual statements for the Louisiana Central
Lumber Company and other subsidiaries dating from 1916 to 1953. The statements include
records of log and lumber sales, land and timber accounts, cost of manufacturing, lumber shipments, profit and loss statements, inventory of houses, and financial records of the company store
and ice plant. Statements for some years are missing.
There are also audit reports for the years 1908 to 1945 and voucher letters for 1914.
Voucher letters authorized payment of bills and other disbursements and often contained correspondence and a description of the charges; includes records of company stores, ice plant, and
railroads.
The miscellaneous records in this series contains financial records of the Louisiana
Central Lumber Company, Ouachita and Northwestern Railroad Company, Forest Lumber
Company, White-Grandin Lumber Company, Slagle Naval Stores Company, and the Exchange
Sawmills Sales Company. The records are organized chronologically and include sawmill,
payroll, investment, and insurance records; tax notices and receipts; balance sheets; store,
lighting, foundry, ice plant, and hotel accounts; manufacturing and industrial plant reports; and
bank balances.
The Reports series includes reports on employees, plant inspections, inventories, lumber,
oil and gas, and forest fires, as well as salesmen's reports, land records, and insurance policies.
Economic and Lumber Industry series has reports, bulletins, newsletters, statistical
compilations, promotional literature, periodicals, and other materials concerning the U.S. lumber
industry, the southern lumber market, and general U.S. and world economic and trade conditions.
The series is arranged alphabetically by topic, name of organization, or title of publication, and
chronologically thereunder. The bulk of the material dates from World War I through the 1920s.
The financial records of the Louisiana Central company, found in the Volumes series, are
exceptionally complete and comprise one of the most valuable sections of the records. The
general ledgers document all financial transactions from 1902 to 1953. Voucher records exist for
49 of the 51 years that Louisiana Central was in existence. Along with the cash and purchase
C3660 Louisiana Central Lumber Company, Clarks, Louisiana, Records
Page 6
ledgers, customer's journals, and assorted financial papers, most of the company's financial
history is documented. The series also includes some financial documents of Louisiana Central's
associate companies. The volumes are on microfilm.
