Representation cases

p. 187. Four printed columns: the stub \"Name of case\", the two columns under the spanner \"Date hearing held\" (\"Date opened\", \"Date closed\"), and \"Date decision issued\".\n\nFootnote-marker-only cells: many cells in \"Date decision issued\" (and two in \"Date closed\") contain nothing but a small raised reference numeral set in parentheses, e.g. (1). Following the caret convention these are given as ^1, ^2, ^3, ^4, ^5, ^6, ^7 with no accompanying text, since no value is printed.\n\nDitto cells: cells printed as \"----do----\" (ditto with leader dots) in the two hearing-date columns are given as \"do\"; the leader dots are dropped. Row labels printed as \"Do\" are kept as \"Do\".\n\nCrop/continuation: the top of the image is clipped — a partial caption line reading \"year 1938-39.\" is cut off at the very top edge, and below it, above the table rule, sits the centred italic sub-caption \"Representation cases\" (treated as caption material and therefore not transcribed as a row). At the bottom, the list breaks off mid-alphabet after \"Berkeley Granite Corporation\", so the table continues on the following page; the partly clipped line \"See footnotes at end of table, p. 187\" is reported in `footnotes` even though it is a cross-reference rather than a numbered footnote (no numbered footnote text is printed on this page).\n\nDoubtful / anomalous cells:\n- \"A. Arena & Co\", Date opened: printed as \"Feb. 17, 1939.\" with an apparent trailing period (likely a stray leader dot); transcribed without it. In the same row, Date closed is printed \"Feb 21, 1939\" with no period after \"Feb\" — transcribed as printed.\n- \"American Radiator Co\", Date decision issued; \"Aragon-Baldwin Cotton Mills\", both hearing-date columns; \"Belmont Iron Works\", Date closed: in each the digit-group separator before the year images as a period rather than a comma. These are almost certainly broken commas in this 1-bit scan, and have been transcribed as commas for consistency with the rest of the column.\n- \"A. Sartorius, Inc\": Date opened \"Aug. 18, 1938\" but Date closed reads \"Aug. 18, 1939\", while the decision issued is \"Oct. 4, 1938\". The closed-date year appears to be a misprint for 1938; transcribed as printed.\n- \"Berkely Steel Construction Co\" is spelled with \"Berkely\" in the source (contrast the following row, \"Berkeley Granite Corporation\"); kept as printed.\n- \"Alexander Smith & Sons Carpet Co\" and \"Barras Transfer Line\" decision cells: the raised numeral reads as 3 in both, but the glyph is small and could be an 8-like artifact; read as ^3.

p. 188. Crop is a continuation page of an alphabetical case list ("Representation cases—Continued"); 4 columns, with "Date hearing held" spanning "Date opened" and "Date closed". Column headings are printed on this page and are transcribed. No footnote texts appear on this crop; the only line printed below the table is the cross-reference "See footnotes at end of table, p. 187.", so `footnotes` is left empty. Ditto marks: the stub prints "Do" (followed by leader dots) and the two date columns print "do" between dash leaders; the "Date decision issued" column prints "Do." with a period. These are transcribed as printed. Parenthesized raised numerals standing alone in the "Date decision issued" column (and in "Date closed" for Brewster Aeronautical Corporation) are footnote references; they are transcribed as the full cell value, e.g. "(1)". Doubtful cells: - "C. E. Irvins and T. M. Stevens, receivers of Mobile & Ohio R. R.", Date decision issued: read as "Sept. 29, 1939". Two other rows with identical hearing dates (Coast Transportation Co., Inc. and DeBardeleben Coal Co., both July 18, 1938 – July 26, 1938) print "Sept. 29, 1938", so the final digit here may be a misread or a misprint in the original. - The small parenthesized footnote digits are hard to resolve at this scan resolution. "(2)" was read for Blackwell Zinc Co., Columbia Pictures Corporation et al., Columbia Pictures Corporation (Aug. 29, 1938), Columbia Pictures et al., and Conmar Products Corporation; any of these could be "(3)". "(3)" for Boulet Transportation Co., Inc., "(5)" for Dietrich & Wiltz and Dixie Motor Coach Corporation, and "(6)" for Douglas Public Service Corporation are likewise only moderately legible. - Douglas Public Service Corporation, Date decision issued: an ink smudge/stray marks sit just left of the "(6)" marker in the scan; nothing else is legible in that cell. Name spellings transcribed as printed, though some appear to be typesetting errors in the original: "Moencit Tanning Co." (likely "Moench"), "Commoli Granite Co." (likely "Comolli"), "Douglas-Aircraft Co., Inc.-El Segunda division" (likely "Douglas Aircraft ... El Segundo"), "C. E. Irvins" (likely "Irvine"/"Ervin"). Trailing abbreviation periods immediately before leader dots (Co., Inc., Bros., Ltd., et al.) cannot be visually separated from the first leader dot; they have been written per standard abbreviation.

p. 189. This is a continuation page of an alphabetical case list ("Representation cases—Continued"), four columns: stub plus Date opened / Date closed under the spanner "Date hearing held", plus "Date decision issued". The crop begins and ends mid-list, so entries before "Douglas Transfer, Inc." and after "Kingsley Lumber Mills" fall outside it. No numbered footnote texts are printed on this page; instead the foot of the page carries the reference line "See footnotes at end of table, p. 187.", which is why `footnotes` is empty. The parenthesized raised digits in the date columns — (1), (2), (3), (4), (6) — are footnote references standing in place of a date, i.e. they are the whole cell content rather than a marker attached to a value, so they are transcribed as printed. Ditto entries: the date columns print "do" between leader dots (transcribed "do", leaders dropped) and the decision column prints "Do."; the stub of the row after "Ingram-Richardson Manufacturing Co. of Indiana, Inc." is itself the ditto label "Do.". The ditto cells in the first two body rows refer back to an entry on the preceding page. Doubtful cells: - "E. B. Gross Canning Co.", Date decision issued: the month abbreviation is damaged in the scan and reads like "Jzn."; transcribed as "Jan. 31, 1939". - "False Drayage, Inc.", Date closed: reads "Jan. 19, 1938"; every comparable New Orleans drayage row on this page (Dupuy, Ernst Bros., Fabacher, J. A. Thomas, Johnson's General Drayage) prints "Jan. 19, 1939", so this may be a misprint or a broken digit. Transcribed as it appears. - "J. & H. Young Co., Inc.", Date decision issued: reads "Nov. 23, 1939"; the hearing dates are Aug. 22, 1938 and the adjacent "International Lumber Co." row prints "Nov. 23, 1938", so the final digit is uncertain. Transcribed as it appears. - "J. J. Little & Ives Co." and "First National Pix, Inc.", Date decision issued: the small parenthesized superscript reads as (3) but 2 and 3 are hard to separate at this resolution. - "Easton Publishing Co.", Date decision issued: a stray ink blot sits to the right of the "(1)"; it is not a character. Many cells in the right-hand column carry a trailing apostrophe-like mark that is a scan artifact of the adjacent column rule, not printed punctuation; these have been omitted. Row labels that wrap over two or three lines (James V. Murray…, John H. Jones…, John T. Murray…, J. R. Atkins…) have been joined into single labels with end-of-line hyphens repaired ("co- partners" → "copartners", "Stevedor- ing" → "Stevedoring"). "Joseph Tedesco, doing business as Tedesco Cartage Co" is printed without a closing period.

p. 190. Continuation page of a list-style table ("Representation cases—Continued"); 4 columns, with "Date hearing held" spanning the two date columns. No numbered footnote texts are printed on this crop — the page carries only the pointer line "See footnotes at end of table, p. 187." (placed in footnotes), so the meanings of markers (1), (2), (3) are not available here.\n\nFootnote-reference cells: many value cells hold only a small parenthesized superscript numeral standing in place of a date; these are transcribed as "(1)", "(2)", "(3)". The glyphs are small and partly broken in this scan, and 2 vs 3 is the main risk. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. row (both "Date closed" and "Date decision issued") is the least certain — the numeral there reads as a 3 but could be a 5 or 8; it is the only place a 3 appears, and 1 and 2 elsewhere are legible. The marker for "Kramer's Transfer, Inc." was read as (2) partly on the strength of the identical July 29, 1938 → Aug. 6, 1938 rows (Herrin Motor Lines, Herrin Transportation, Houma Motor Freight Line), which all carry (2).\n\nRepeat marks: "-----do------" in a date column is transcribed as "do" (leader dashes dropped); a capitalized "Do." without dashes in the "Date decision issued" column is transcribed as "Do." as printed. The stub label for a repeated case name is printed "Do" (no period in some lines); transcribed as "Do".\n\n"Levi Zentner": the capital Z is broken in the scan and renders close to a 7 ("Levi 7entner"). Transcribed as "Levi Zentner" on the reading of the damaged glyph and the alphabetical run (Levi … Lewis A. Terven).\n\nPossible misprint as printed: "Koppers Co." shows "June 19, 1938" opened and "June 19, 1939" closed — a year apart on the same day and month; transcribed as printed, not corrected.\n\nSeveral date commas are degraded to period-like dots in the scan (e.g. Illinois Zinc Co. "Aug. 15. 1938", I. Miller & Sons "May 8. 1939", Imperial Garden Growers "Feb. 17. 1939" and "June 28. 1939", Louis Weinberg "June 3. 1939"); these are transcribed as commas, matching every other date in the column.\n\n"General Motors Corporation, Hyatt Bearings Division" and the George/Globe/Golden/Goodyear/Gotham/Grays/Grayson/Great/Gulf run are printed out of alphabetical sequence relative to the surrounding K/L and H/I/L entries; the printed order is preserved. "McAlbert Oil, Inc., and D. B. McDaniel Drilling Corporation" wraps onto two printed lines ("Corpora- tion") and is joined into one row. The final body row ("McCall Corporation") sits on the bottom rule and its characters are partly clipped, but both dates and the decision date are legible.

p. 191. Four printed columns: stub "Name of case", "Date opened" and "Date closed" under the spanner "Date hearing held", and "Date decision issued". The crop is a continuation page: the line "Representation cases—Continued" above the column headings is omitted as a continued/section-head line, and the table runs on past the bottom of this crop (the last transcribed row, Petroleum Navigation Co., is the last full row on the page, followed only by the reference line "See footnotes at end of table, p. 187."). The actual footnote texts are not on this page; they are on p. 187 as the reference line says, so the only entry in footnotes is that reference line.\n\nCells printed as a superscript numeral in parentheses, e.g. (1), (2), (3), (5), stand alone as the value of the cell (a footnote reference used in place of a date) and are transcribed as "(1)" etc. Ditto marks printed as "----do----" between leaders are transcribed as "do"; the stub ditto rows are transcribed as "Do" (printed "Do" followed immediately by leaders, so a trailing period, if any, is indistinguishable from the leader dots). "Do." in the "Date decision issued" column is printed without leaders and keeps its period.\n\nDoubtful cells, all transcribed exactly as they read on the scan:\n- Mobile Stevedoring Co., Inc. / Date decision issued: reads "Sept. 29, 1988". This is almost certainly a degraded or misprinted "1938" (the three adjacent stevedoring cases with the same July 18-26, 1938 hearing dates all show Sept. 29, 1938).\n- Pacific Mills, Cocheco division / Date closed: reads "Oct. 18, 1939" while Date opened reads "Oct. 18, 1938" and the decision is Dec. 1, 1938; the closing year is likely a misprint or a degraded "1938".\n- Petroleum Navigation Co. / Date closed: reads "Apr. 1, 1938", which precedes the Oct. 31, 1938 opening date; the year is likely a misprint or degraded "1939".\n- Northwest Publications, Inc. / Date decision issued: the first digit of the day is faint; read as "Oct. 27, 1938".\n- Pacific Mills row label: the division name is blurred, printed roughly as "C-checo"; read as "Cocheco".\n- Several labels ending in an abbreviation run straight into the leader dots (e.g. "McQuay-Norris Manufacturing Co", "Medusa Portland Cement Co", "Minneapolis Moline Power Implement Co", "et al"), so the final period cannot be distinguished from the leaders; these are transcribed as they appear.\n- The superscript markers rendered as (3) in the three rows M. G. M. Corporation "Do" (Aug. 29, 1938), Paramount Pictures et al "Do" (Oct. 3, 1938) and Paramount Pictures, Inc. (Aug. 29, 1938) could conceivably be a raised 8; 3 is the reading taken, since the raised 3 and 8 are nearly identical at this resolution.

p. 192. Continuation page of an alphabetical case list (running head "Representation cases—Continued"); no footnote texts appear on this crop — instead the line "See footnotes at end of table, p. 187." is printed below the body, so the footnote definitions for markers (1), (2), (3), (6) and (7) are on another page. Marker cells: in the two date columns and the decision column a lone parenthesized raised digit stands in place of a date; I have written these as (^1), (^2), etc. Ditto marks: the stub ditto is printed "Do." and the date-column ditto is printed as lowercase "do" between leader dashes; the decision column uses "Do." Leader dots/dashes around them are dropped. Column header: the top-level spanner over the two middle columns is "Date hearing held" — the scan renders the "h" of "hearing" like a "b". The stub head "Name of case" and the right-hand head "Date decision-/issued" (hyphen repaired to "Date decision issued") each span both heading levels. Doubtful / apparently wrong cells (transcribed as read, not corrected): - "Service Drayage Co., Inc.", Date decision issued: reads "Feb. 11, 1983"; the three parallel rows with identical dates (Riverside Transfer Co., Inc.; S. Jackson & Son, Inc.; St. Charles Transfer Co.) all read "Feb. 11, 1939", so this is very likely a damaged/misprinted 1939. - "Service Drayage Co., Inc.", Date opened: reads "July 29, 1939" while the closing date is "Jan. 19, 1939"; the parallel rows read "July 29, 1938", so 1939 here is probably an error in the print or the scan. - "Seymour Packing Co.", Date opened: reads "Jan. 16, 1929" against a closing date of "Jan. 16, 1939"; 1929 is impossible for this report and is probably a misprint for 1939. - "Riverside Manufacturing Co.": opened "Aug. 8, 1939" but closed "Aug. 16, 1938"; the opening year is probably a misprint for 1938. - Footnote-marker digits are small and broken: the markers for "RKO Radio Pictures" (Aug. 29, 1938 row), "Sam Goldwyn, Inc." and "Sperry Gyroscope Co., Inc." could be (3) or (5)/(8); "Silver Fleet, Inc." could be (6) or (5); "Spencer Lens Co." and "Star Crescent Boat Co." are read as (7) but are faint. - Company-name readings that may be scan corruptions of better-known names: "Port Oxford Cedar Co." (possibly "Port Orford"), "Rils Manufacturing Corporation"/"Rils Novelty Manufacturing Co." (possibly "Riis"), "S. Karper & Bros." (possibly "S. Karpen & Bros."). Transcribed as the glyphs appear. - The list is alphabetical but prints "Singer Manufacturing Co." before "Shippers Compress & Warehouse, Inc."; the order is as printed.

p. 193. Continuation page of an alphabetical case list (running head \"Representation cases—Continued\"); the table runs from \"Standard Hat Co.\" to \"Walter Wanger Productions\" and continues past the bottom of the crop. No numbered footnote texts appear on this page — the line under the table points to them on p. 187 — so markers ^1 through ^4 are unresolved here.\n\nMarker convention: in the date columns a raised digit in parentheses, e.g. (1), is printed alone in place of a date (meaning \"see footnote n\"); these cells are transcribed as ^1, ^2, ^3, ^4 with no accompanying text.\n\nDitto marks are transcribed as printed: lowercase \"do.\" set between leader dots inside the date columns, and capitalized \"Do.\" standing alone in the Date decision issued column and in the stub. They are not expanded to the value they repeat.\n\nDoubtful cells:\n- Header, fourth column: the printed heading reads \"Dote decision issued\" because the 'a' of \"Date\" is broken in the scan; transcribed as \"Date decision issued\".\n- \"The B. F. Goodrich Co.\": a footnote marker (^4) occupies BOTH the Date closed and Date decision issued columns; this is the only row where a marker replaces a hearing date, so it is worth re-checking against the source.\n- \"Texas Co.\" (the row above \"The Texas Co.\"), Date opened: the second digit is partly filled in; read as \"Dec. 15, 1938\".\n- \"Walter Wanger Productions\" (last row), Date decision issued: the raised digit is faint at the page edge; read as ^3 on the strength of the two other Aug. 29, 1938 / Oct. 6, 1938 rows (Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation and Universal Pictures Co.), which both carry ^3. ^2 cannot be fully excluded.\n- \"The Stratbury Manufacturing Co.\": the company name is transcribed exactly as printed; the spelling is unusual and may itself be a misprint in the source.\n\nSequence as printed: \"Utica Knitting Co.\" is printed between \"Union Manufacturing Co., Inc.\" and \"United Artists Studio\", out of alphabetical order. Row order preserved as printed. Also note the source's own inconsistent spelling of the same party as \"Stokely Bros. & Co. and Van Camp's\" and \"Van Camp's Inc. (Stokeley)\".\n\nTwo rows carry a ditto in only one of the two hearing-date columns: \"Union Manufacturing Co., Inc.\" (do. opened, May 15, 1939 closed) and \"Walgreen Drug Stores, Inc.\" (Apr. 18, 1939 opened, do. closed). Both are as printed.

p. 194. This is a continuation page of an alphabetical case-list appendix ("Representation cases—Continued"); the body begins mid-alphabet at "Walworth Co." and the column headings are reprinted on this page, so they are given. Ditto conventions: in the two date columns the cell is printed as leader dots around a lowercase "do." — transcribed as "do."; in the decision column the cell is printed "Do." — transcribed as "Do." The stub's repeated-name rows are printed indented as "Do." Cells in the last column that contain nothing but a raised footnote reference in parentheses are transcribed as (^1), (^2), etc., preserving the printed parentheses. Doubtful cells, all in the "Date decision issued" column: the raised digits for row "Do." (the Warner Bros. repeat, 3rd body row), for "Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc.", for "Do." (6th body row), and for "WIL Broadcasting Station" are small and broken in this scan; superscript 2, 3 and 5 are hard to separate at this resolution. They are read here as ^5, ^3, ^2 and ^3 respectively, but any of those four could be a different one of {2, 3, 5}. The ^5 on the Warner Bros. "Do." row is the least secure, since footnote 5 ("Hearing postponed indefinitely") sits oddly beside a hearing shown as opened and closed. The fourth column heading is degraded in the scan and reads like "Dote decision issued"; it is transcribed as "Date decision issued", matching the parallel "Date hearing held" heading. The stub label "Warren Telechrone Co." is printed with a smudge after "Warren"; the firm may be the Warren Telechron Co., but the printed form here appears to end in "-chrone", which is what is transcribed. Row labels wrapping two printed lines (the Westinghouse porcelain-division and Chicago-branch-service entries) have been joined into one row each, with their dates sitting on the second printed line.
