Denial of a Raise for Laundress Ella Albert

Date
January 18, 1908 - January 22, 1908

Carlisle Indian School Superintendent W. A. Mercer requests to give Laundress Ella Albert a raise to $600 per year. Mercer reasons that her predecessor, Ella G. Hill, made $660, and he promised Albert a raise if she succeeded, and she has done an excellent job. 

Acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs C. F. Larrabee declines Mercer's request because Mercer's yearly salary of $2500 is so high that that the Bureau of Indian Affairs had to abolish other positions and prevents raises for other positions.
