The Brotherhood of Timber Workers (BTW) (1910–1916) in East Texas & Louisiana organised all races. I'd actually love a book on the Mexican Americans organizers in BTW. They even accepted women starting in 1912! I've read this was in part due to their IWW ties. Radical Timber workers (and Longshore workers) have a history in those parts. Lots of their organizers ended up in the Pacific Northwest.
