"THE OLD SLATER MILL"
Birthplace or Cotton Textile Industry in U. S, at Providence, to Be Re

stored.
 Pawtucket, R. T., July 2.-The "Old Slater Mill" the birthplace of the cotton textile industry in America, is to be preserved as a show place and a museum for textile machinery. A committee of manufacturers has taken title to the property and later will turn it over to the city or to a permanent memorial association.
 The mill was erected in 1793 and in 1t Samuel Slater started the manufac- aufre of cotton fabrics. No plans for cotton manufacturing machinery were allowed at the time to be sent out of England. but Slater carried the plans in his mind and when he arrived in Pawtucket was able to work out almost exactly the famous Arkwright models. Some of the machinery which was made from his plans and used in the old mill is still in existence and will be exhibited in the museum.
 The haircloth industry in America also had its beginning in the Slater mill. In 1855 n number of Pawtucket men began the manufacture of hair cloth in competition with European manufacturers. The latter, it is de- clared. resorted to desperate meas ures to prevent the new industry spreading to this country and the Pawtucket concern was hard pushed and facing failure when a Providence inventor. Isaac C. Lindsey, invented a self-feeding power loom which en- abled them to compete successfully with European manufacturers. The plans call for the restoration of the mill property to its original condition. The plant has not been used for some years and is much in need of repairs.
