Sierra Lumber Company Leads White Labor Policy in California
The Sierra Lumber and Lumber Company announces no Chinese labor at Red Bluff and Chico works, with all Chinese workers to be discharged after September to employ white labor. General Chipman notes this policy strengthens California’s labor supply and aligns with Central Pacific Railroad employment, while the firm trains apprentices for skilled work. The article cites the San Francisco Bulletin on white labor superiority for slogging camp, saw mill, and planing mill tasks.
