Demand to Cut Staff Positions

Carlisle Indian School Superintendent W. A. Mercer informs the Commissioner of Indian Affairs that he will be permanently filling the fireman, assistant carpenter, and assistant matron positions, but he does not think he will be able to cut any positions without hurting the school. 

 Acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs C. F. Larrabee informs Mercer that he absolutely has to cut some positions and asks that he immediately recommends which positions to eliminate.
