0 of 40 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 30. Seven printed columns: stub, "Number of cases", two columns under the first "Percentage of—" spanner (Total cases closed; Total cases on docket), "Number of workers involved", and two columns under the second "Percentage of—" spanner (Total number of workers involved in cases closed; Total number of workers involved in cases on docket). The stub column carries no printed heading, so its header cells are empty; "Number of cases" and "Number of workers involved" are tall single headings spanning both heading levels and are repeated in each. The crop ends at a double rule just below the "Total cases closed before formal action" line, so the table is cut off here — the remainder (presumably cases closed after formal action and cases pending June 30, 1938) continues beyond this image. Cells shown as leader-dot rules in the two "cases closed" percentage columns for the three docket rows are transcribed as empty. Decimal fractions printed without a leading zero (".9", ".6") are kept as printed. All printed component figures add to the printed totals in every column; no misprints detected.
p. 31. Continuation page of Table III; the column headings are reprinted on this page, so they are transcribed. Seven columns: stub, "Number of cases", two percentage columns under the first "Percentage of—" spanner, "Number of workers involved", and two percentage columns under the second "Percentage of—" spanner. The two tall single headings ("Number of cases", "Number of workers involved") span both heading levels and are repeated in each. Cells printed as a parenthesized raised 1, i.e. a bare footnote reference standing in place of a value (rows "By intermediate report finding no violation" and "By compliance with intermediate report", in all four percentage columns), are transcribed as "(1)"; the raised 1 refers to footnote 1 ("Less than 0.05 percent.") and is not a numeric value. In the row "Total cases closed July 1, 1937, to June 30, 1938", the workers figure is printed as "1, 361; 073" — the second digit-grouping comma carries an ink speck and reads like a semicolon. It is transcribed as 1,361,073. In the row "Cases pending June 30, 1938", the "Total cases closed" percentage column and the "...in cases closed" percentage column hold dash rules only, transcribed as "". The printed subtotal and totals are internally consistent where checkable: the nine itemized case counts sum to 369 and the nine worker counts sum to 534,371. Stray marks in the scan (a comma-like speck left of the 2 in "By compliance with intermediate report" and a dot left of 140 in the same row, a small mark before 25 in the "Dismissal of complaint or petition" row, and an apostrophe-like speck after "formal action:" in the first section line) are scan debris, not printed characters, and are omitted.
