THE SLATER FAMILY
HAT the names of Arkwright and Stratt mean to English manufacturers, the name Slater means to the American cotton and woolen industries, for it was Samuel Slater who laid the foundation of the great manufactories that have created most of the wealth of New England.
Today the Slater family owns and operates a great system of woolen and cotton mills, which had their begumings more than a century ago, and a fourth generation of Slaters is soon to undertake the management of the great business which had its luception in the departure from England in 1789, of Samuel Slater, one of America's most picturesque pioneers. He was the son of William Slater, landed seoman of Belper, Derbyshire. and had been apprentieed to his father's friend, Jedidiah Strutt, associate of Arkwright, whose inventions revolutionized cotton spinning.
At 17, young Slater had become overseer in Strutt's cotton mills, and bad also mastered all of Arkwright's inventions. Before his industrial service with Strutt had ended, the young man had determined to leave England for the new world. He saw farther than most men of his day, and believed that the United States presented a greater field for the textile industry than England afforded.
The reading of an advertisement of an American society offering a reward for the invention of textile machinery, to accomplish what Arkwright had done, was largely instru- mental in influencing the lad in his decision. The English government was guarding its industries most zealously, and no skilled mechanic was allowed to leave the country. Young Slater kept his plans to himself, and neither his mother nor his brothers learned of his inten- tions until he was well out in the ocean.
No person could take passage without being subjected to a thorough search, and severe punishment was meted out to persons detected in attempts to smuggle knowledge in tangible form across the Atlantic. Young Slater, therefore, could take with him to the new world neither drawing nor model.
Upon arriving in America, he offered his services to Moses Brown of Providence, founder of Brown University, whose experiments in making cotton goods by machinery had resulted in failure.
Samuel Slater, from memory, constructed and erected machines that produced yarn equal to that spun in England, and the prosperity of the textile industry in New England was assured.
In 1790 the first commercially successful textile mill in America was established in Pawtucket, R. I., under the firm name of Almy, Brown & Slater. In 1803 Samuel Slater's brother John followed him to America, and together they established other mills, the greatest of the Slater properties, the Webster mills, being founded in 1812.
Soon after the establishment of the first cotton mill in America in 1790, Samuel Slater also founded the first Sunday school in America in Pawtucket.
The 100th anniversary was observed by the city of Pawtucket in 1890 with a whole week's celebration. In 1815, three years after the establishment of the Webster properties, Samuel Slater, in response to a public demand, established another first institution of its kind in America in the form of a woolen mill in Webster. At an early date the United States government called upon him to supply cloth for both army and navy.
Samuel Slater operated the Webster mills ahnost up to the day of his death in 1835, when he was succeeded by his son, Horatio Nelson Slater. For nearly 15 years, until his retirement in 1888, Horatio N. Slater managed the business, developing it with rapidity and solidity.
His nephew and adopted son, also named Horatio N. Slater, succeeded him, and under the direction of the second Horatio N. Slater, the business almost trebled in volume.
Horatio Nelson Slater, 2d, died August 13, 1899, since which time the mills have been operated by trustees, for the reason that for the first time since the foundation of the business there were no direct heirs of legal age to undertake the management.
Partly because of a tradition that the mills must be retained in the Slater family, and partly because of the incalculable value of the name in connection with cotton and wool manu- factures, Mrs. Mabel Hunt Slater, widow of Horatio N. Slater, 2d, strenuously opposed a plan to alienate ownership and after long litigation succeeded in conserving the great mills for her children, who will be invested with their management as soon as they shall have attained their majorities. About 4000 operatives are now employed in the three Webster plants of the corporation and in its Farnumsville branch, and the corporation owns hundreds of tenements, a 250 acre farm, and pays nearly 60 , of the entire tax of the Town of Webster.
