Industry Wage Survey'
West Coast Sawmilling, June 1964
Summary
Straight-tim e hourly earnings of production and related workers in the
West Coast sawmilling industry averaged $2.66 in June 1964, according to a
Bureau of Labor Statistics survey. Averages ranged from $2.76 in the Redwood
region to $2. 45 in the Northern districts of the Western Pine region. 1
W orkers in logging operations averaged $3. 16 an hour, compared with
$2.59 fo r w orkers in sawmills and planing m ills.
In the earnings arrays, the
middle half of the logging workers ranged between $2,62 and $3.27 an hour and
those in sawm ills and planing m ills between $2. 35 and $2.74.
Among the logging and sawmilling occupations studied separately, a v e r­
age hourly earnings ranged from $2.20 fo r watchmen in sawm ills to $4.77 for
teamed fa llers and buckers using power equipment.
W orkers in eight logging
and six sawmilling jobs averaged over $3 an hour. A verages fo r nearly all of
the remaining occupations studied separately were between $2.50 and $3.
The large m ajority of the workers were scheduled to work 40 hours a
week at the time of the study, and were employed by establishments providing
paid holidays and vacations and various types of insurance benefits.
Pension
plans were also common.
Industry Characteristics
The five States (California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana)
included in this survey accounted fo r m ore than half (56. 4 percent) of the 34. 5 b il­
lion board feet of lumber produced in the United States in 1963.
However, they
employed only about a third of the workers in the Nation’s logging camps and saw­
m ills and planing m ills . The greater productive capacity of these western States
stems la rgely from the immense size of the trees available fo r logging— p a rtic­
ularly in western Washington, western Oregon, and coastal C alifornia— compared
to the sm aller tim ber available in the southeastern United States and the rest of
the country.
The cutting, loading, transporting, and m illing of giant redwoods
and towering firs require the use of m assive machinery and equipment.
Over
the past 2 decades em ployers have invested heavily in laborsaving mechanisms
with the result that the work force has been cut back while production has r e ­
mained steady.1

The lumber industry in the West is dominated by a rela tively few large
firm s with integrated operations in logging, sawm illing, and the production
of veneer, plywood, pulp, fib er board, p article board, wooden containers, box
shook, and other wood products with the exception of furniture. A great number
of sm all operators— engaged mainly in cutting tim ber, sawing rough lumber, and
producing m illw ork — make up a substantial part of the rest of the industry. Of
the 639 establishments within scope of the survey in June 1964, 14 large m ills ,
each with m ore than 1,000 w orkers, accounted fo r about one-fourth of the 83,250
production workers in the industry. On the other hand, 445 sm all firm s, each
with few er than 100 w orkers, accounted fo r 23 percent of the production w orkers.
Slightly m ore than 60 percent of the production employees in the industry worked
in integrated establishments, 3 and alm ost all w ere men. 4

West Coast lumber is produced largely from three species— Douglas fir ,
w estern pine, and redwood.
Douglas fir is the principal species in the areas
of Washington and Oregon west of the Cascade Range.
Spruce, hemlock, and
cedar stands are also found in this region. The western pine species, including
ponderosa pine, sugar pine, white fir , and larch are widely distributed throughout
the West, but are concentrated east of the Cascade Range in California, Idaho,
Montana, Oregon, and Washington.
Redwood is the principal tim ber along the
northern California coast, although there is extensive Douglas fir production in
this region.
F or purposes of this survey, the Douglas F ir, W estern Pine, and
Redwood regions are lim ited to the five States named above.
In June 1964,
about two-fifths of the m ills and one-half the production w orkers w ere in the
Douglas F ir region.
The Northern and Southern districts of the Western Pine
region each accounted fo r about one-fifth of the production w orkers; a tenth w ere
in the Redwood region.
Establishments with collective bargaining agreements covering a m ajority
of their production workers accounted fo r about seven-tenths of the workers within
scope of the Bureau's survey. Regionally, the proportions w ere: Four-fifths in
the Southern districts of Western Pine, three-fourths in Douglas F ir, three-fifths
in the Northern districts of Western Pine, and one-third in the Redwood region.

The m ajor labor organizations w ere the Lumber and Sawmill W orkers
Union, affiliated with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of A m e r­
ica; and the International Woodworkers of A m erica. The fo rm er organization p re ­
dominated in the Western Pine region, while the latter was strong in the Douglas
F ir and Redwood regions.
Tim e rates w ere the basis of wage payment fo r m ore than nine-tenths
of the production w orkers covered by the study.
As indicated in the tabulation
on the following page, incentive wage systems (most usually group piecework)
applied to la rger proportions of the logging workers than to the sawm ill and plan­
ing m ill w orkers, and were m ore common in the Western Pine and Redwood
regions than in the Douglas F ir region.

For purposes o f this study, integrated establishments in cluded those w ith log g in g operations in con ju n ction
w ith, and supplying logs to , the m ill. Independent establishments includ ed those purchasing logs or con tracting l o g ­
ging operations.

Average Hourly Earnings
Average hourly earnings of production workers w ere higher than the
West Coast average ($2,66 an hour), in 3 of the 4 locations studied separately:
By 10 cents in the Redwood region, 8 cents in the Southern districts of the W est­
ern Pine region, and 4 cents in the Douglas F ir region (table 1).
Workers in
the Northern districts of the Western Pine region averaged 21 cents an hour less
than the West Coast average.
Workers engaged in logging operations averaged $3. 16 an hour, com­
pared with $2.59 fo r workers in sawmills and planing m ills . This general pay
relationship was consistent in the four regions, with the average wage advantage
fo r logging workers ranging from 49 cents an hour in the Northern districts of
the Western Pine region to 85 cents in the Redwood region. W orkers in plywood
and veneer m ills— chiefly concentrated in the Douglas F ir region— averaged $2.50
an hour.
The influence of the m ore highly paid logging workers is reflected in
comparisons of average hourly earnings in integrated and independent establish­
ments and in establishments classified by size. Workers in integrated establish­
ments averaged $2.72— 17 cents an hour m ore than workers in independent m ills.
Among the regions for which data could be compared by type of m ill, the a v e r­
age hourly differential favoring workers in integrated establishments was 10 cents
in the Southern districts of Western Pine, 14 cents in Douglas F ir, and 18 cents
in the Redwood region and in the Northern districts of W estern Pine. Workers
in establishments with 500 employees or m ore (which accounted fo r a large p ro ­
portion of logging w orkers) averaged $ 2 . 7 0 , compared with $ 2 . 6 7 for workers
in establishments with 100 to 499 employees and $2.58 fo r those in establish­
ments with 20 to 99 employees.
Wages of workers in union establishments averaged $2.67 an hour—
3 cents m ore than those of workers in establishments not having labor-management
contracts covering a m ajority of their production employees. However, there was
no consistent pattern of pay between union and nonunion establishments among the
regions. In the Douglas F ir and Redwood regions, average hourly earnings w ere
higher in nonunion than in union establishments by 2 and 8 cents, respectively.
In the Northern districts of the Western Pine region, average pay was 7 cents
an hour higher in union establishments.
Alm ost all of the workers earned $2 an hour or m ore, with 6 percent
earning $3.50 or m ore (table 2). The proportion of workers earning $3.50 or
m ore was much greater in logging than in other operations.
In the earnings
array, hourly pay of the middle half of all workers fe ll between $2. 37 and $2. 79;
fo r logging, between $2.62 to $3.27; and fo r sawmills and planing m ills , between
$2. 35 to $2. 74.




4

Occupational Earnings
Occupational classifications fo r which earnings data w ere developed sep­
arately (table 7) accounted fo r seven-tenths of the production workers in logging
and th ree-fifths of those in sawm ills and planing m ills.
Average hourly earn­
ings fo r these jobs ranged from $2.20 fo r watchmen in sawm ills to $4.77 fo r
fa lle rs and buckers using power equipment.
In addition to fa llers and buckers
working as a team in loggin g,5 workers in seven other jobs averaged over $3 an
hour; single fa lle rs , $4.60; single buckers, $3.72; high-lead hook tenders, $3.63;
high riggers, $3.36; log loading engineers, $3.16; head loaders, $3.16; and
bulldozer operators, $3.04.
In sawmilling, averages over $3 were recorded
fo r six jobs: Benchwork saw file r s , $3.64; rid erless carriage band-head-saw
operators, $3.54; conventional band-head-saw operators, $3.47; riderless c a r­
riage circular-head-saw operators, $3.34; conventional circular-head-saw op er­
ators, $3.16; and maintenance electrician s, $3.05. Averages fo r nearly a ll of
the remaining occupations studied separately w ere between $2.50 and $3 an hour.
Of the 2,213 fa llers and buckers teamed in logging camps, 843 w ere
paid on the basis of output and averaged $6.61 an hour, compared with $3.64
fo r tim e-rated w orkers (table 8). In the Douglas F ir region, where two-thirds
of the fa lle rs and buckers w ere employed, only about a fifth w ere paid on an
incentive basis; in each of the other regions, however, seven-tenths of the w ork­
ers or m ore in this occupation w ere incentive paid. A m ajority of the workers
in sorting, stacking, and loading type jobs in sawmills w ere paid on an incentive
basis. W herever comparisons could be made, incentive-rated workers had higher
average earnings than those paid on an hourly basis.
Among the occupations perm itting comparisons, average hourly earnings
were generally higher in the Douglas F ir and Redwood regions than in the two
districts of the Western Pine region. D ifferences between the occupational a v e r­
ages in the Douglas F ir and Redwood regions usually amounted to less than
10 cents an hour, whereas the differences between the highest and lowest regions
often amounted to 30 cents or m ore.
In 3 of the 4 regions, occupational averages w ere generally higher in
independent m ills than in those having logging operations; in the Northern districts
of the Western Pine region, this relationship was reversed.
In all regions, occupational averages w ere m ost commonly higher in
establishments with 100 but few er than 500 w orkers than in either the sm aller
or la rg e r size establishments (table 10). In the Northern districts of the W est­
ern Pine region, occupational averages w ere nearly always higher in establish­
ments with 500 workers or m ore than in establishments with few er than 100 w ork­
ers. In the other regions, however, there was no consistent relationship in pay
between these two size groups.
Because of their interrelationship, the exact
impact on earnings of any of the characteristics discussed above cannot be is o ­
lated and measured.
Occupational averages w ere usually higher in union establishments than
in those not having collective bargaining agreem ents, in each of the regions
where comparisons were possible (table 11).

5
Payments to fallers and buckers for saw rentals w ere e x clu d ed from straig ht-tim e hourly earnings. S ix ty -six
o f the 161 establishments visited e m p lo y e d fallers and buckers; 10 establishments paid their workers for saw rentals
on an hourly basis; 27 paid rentals on a production basis; 17 provided powersaw equipm ent; and the rem ainder had
other provisions.




5

Establishment P ra ctices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Data w ere also obtained on certain establishment practices fo r production
workers in sawm ills and planing m ills and in logging camps: Minimum entrance
and job rates; work schedules and shift practices; and selected supplementarybenefits including paid holidays, paid vacations, life insurance, hospitalization
and surgical benefits, and retirem ent plans.
Minimum Entrance and Job Rates. A ll but 19 of the 161 sawm ills studied
reported form al minimum entrance and job rates fo r cleanup men, an unskilled
occupation (table 12). With four exceptions, entrance and job rates w ere identical
in m ills having established minimums. Minimum rates of $2.20 to $2.40 an hour
applied in m ore than half of the m ills.
Median entrance rates were $2.31 in
Douglas F ir, $2.30 in Redwood, $2.27 in the Southern districts of Western Pine,
and $2. 13 in the Northern districts of W estern Pine.
Scheduled Weekly Hours and Shift P ra c tic e s . Work schedules of 40 hours
a week w ere in effect in establishments employing m ore than nine-tenths of the
production workers in sawm ills and planing m ills and in logging camps (table 13).
In each region, approxim ately one-fifth of the workers in sawm ills and planing
m ills were employed on late shifts at the tim e of the study, and typically r e ­
ceived differential pay over day-shift rates (table 14).
D ifferentials were on a
cents-per-hour basis, ranging from 3 to 10 cents.
Paid Holidays. Paid holidays w ere provided by establishments em ploy­
ing about four-fifths of the workers in sawm ills and planing m ills and in logging
camps (table 15).
About three-fourths of the w orkers received 6 paid holidays
annually; provisions fo r other workers ranged from 3 to 7 days.
Paid Vacations.
Paid vacations to workers with 1 year of service or
m ore w ere provided by establishments employing m ore than nine-tenths of the
production workers in sawm ills and planing m ills and in logging camps (table 16).
The m ajority of the workers w ere in establishments providing 1 week's vacation
pay after 1 year of service, 2 weeks after 3 years, and 3 weeks after 10 years.
Provisions for vacations in excess of 3 weeks w ere virtually nonexistent.
Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans.
L ife insurance benefits, fo r
which the em ployer paid at least part of the cost, were provided by establish­
ments employing three-fourths of the sawm ill and planing m ill w orkers, and
four-fifths of the logging w orkers (table 17).
Hospitalization, surgical, and
m edical insurance benefits w ere also available to about three-fifths of the saw­
m ill and planing m ill workers and four-fifths of the logging w orkers. Alm ost all
logging workers in the Redwood region w ere in establishments providing these
benefits.
Sickness and accident insurance benefits w ere provided in establish­
ments with nearly half of the workers in sawmills and planing m ills and threefifths of those in logging camps.
Retirem ent pension benefits (other than those available under F ederal
old-age, survivors, and disability insurance) w ere reported by establishments
employing m ore than half the sawm ill and planing m ill w orkers and four-fifths
of the logging w orkers.
