YALE PROFESSORS TO
 GET SALARY INCREASE

New Haven. Sept. 16-It is learned that the principal matter to be taken up at the meeting of the Vale corpor- ation to be held on Monday. and which President William H. Taft will attend, will be that of an increase in the sal aries of Yale professors. The ques- ton of an advance in the salaries of the professors has been before the corporation on several different occa- sions, and it has been thoroughly dis cussed, so that now that body is ready to act upon a schedule to be presented to it on Monday Some of the Yale professors are enjoying an increase in salary made a short time ago, but a large number of them did not benefit by the most recent action of the gov erning board of the university.
