Pathfinder Capital Fund Gets $70,300 Boost  

BY NAOMI CRAINE
SAN FRANCISCO - "The capital fund for Pathfinder's printshop has gotten a big boost over the last three days," reported Dave Prince, director of the fund, at the rally following the close of the Socialist Workers Party convention here April 3.

The $70,300 raised during the convention and rally kicks off the new stage in the fund - raising the $250,000 needed to carry out a major upgrade of the press room in Pathfinder's printshop. Over the previous nine months supporters of Pathfinder have given capital contributions of more than $700,000.

This tremendous response made it possible to install a computer-to-plate system that eliminates the labor-intensive work of strip up, saving labor time and costs for producing books and making it possible to have a smaller shop.

The new contributions came from 14 people, six of them industrial workers who gave profit sharing and other "bonuses" -blood money offered by the bosses as part of concession contracts - for a total of $9,150. Other contributions ranged from $1,000 to $19,000.

To find out how you can make a contribution, write to the Capital Fund Committee, 410 West St., New York, NY 10014.
