Unfair labor practice cases

p. 140. Structure: 4 columns — stub "Name of case", a spanner "Hearing" over "Opened" and "Closed", and a tall single heading "Decision issued". Caption material excluded: two display lines are printed above the table's top rule — the section heading "A. CASES HEARD PRIOR TO THE FISCAL YEAR 1939-40, IN WHICH ACTION WAS TAKEN DURING THE FISCAL YEAR" and the italic subtitle "Unfair labor practice cases". Both sit outside the ruled table, so they are not transcribed as body rows. A line "See footnotes at end of table." is printed below the last row and is clipped by the bottom edge of the crop; no numbered footnote texts appear on this image, so `footnotes` is empty. The table continues beyond this page. A blank spacing line between "Ault Williamson Shoe Co." and "B. H. Body Co. et al" is only an alphabetical group break (A to B) with no label; it is not transcribed as a row. Doubtful cells: - Decision issued column, the cells holding only a parenthesised raised numeral in place of a date: "(2)" for "American Newspapers, Inc., Illinois Publishing & Printing Co.", "Anderson Matress Co.", "Appalachian Mills" and "Bilt-Well Umbrella Co." — the raised digit is very small and could be 3; "(6)" for "B. H. Body Co. et al" and "(7)" for "Bercut-Richards Packing Co." are likewise small and could be confused with each other. - "C. H. Bacon Co.", Closed column: the last digit of the year is broken and could read 1933; transcribed as "Jan. 21, 1938" given the Jan. 10, 1938 opening date. Flagging because this is a judgment call, not a clean reading. - "Air Associates. Inc.": the mark after "Associates" reads as a period in the scan but is more likely a comma. - "Appalachian Mills": printed with a broken letter that reads as "Miils"; transcribed as "Mills". "Anderson Matress Co." is transcribed with the single t as it appears. - Two-digit markers ^15 (Armour Packing Co., both Hearing columns) and ^16 (American Newspapers, both Hearing columns) are small and partly broken; the leading 1 is clear, the second digit less so. Ditto conventions as printed: the stub repeat is "Do" followed by leaders (row 2), the Hearing columns print lowercase "do" centred between dash leaders, and the Decision issued column prints "Do." with a capital D and a period.

p. 141. Four columns: stub "Name of case", a two-column "Hearing" spanner (Opened / Closed), and a tall single "Decision issued" heading. Omitted head matter: two lines are printed above the column rule and headings — "A. CASES HEARD PRIOR TO THE FISCAL YEAR 1939-40, IN WHICH ACTION WAS TAKEN DURING THE FISCAL YEAR—Continued" and the italic subtitle "Unfair labor practice cases—Continued". Both sit in the caption block above the table head (not in the body) and both carry "—Continued", so they are not transcribed as rows. Repeat cells: data cells printed as "----do------" are given as "do"; stub cells printed as "Do." with leader dots are given as "Do.". The Decision issued column prints "Do." (capitalised, with period) where the stub prints "Do."; both are kept as printed. Marker-only cells: where the Decision issued cell contains nothing but a small raised parenthesised footnote number, it is written "^(n)" — e.g. "^(3)", "^(4)", "^(2)", "^(14)". The row "Do." following "Consolidated Cigar Co." prints "Do." with a raised 14 beside it, transcribed "Do.^14". Doubtful glyphs: the raised markers for "Bowman Elder Receiver, Indiana R. R." and for "California & Hawaiian Sugar Refining Corporation" (both Decision issued) are very small; each is read as (3) but could be (8) — 3 and 8 are hard to separate at this scan resolution. No footnote list is printed on this crop to cross-check against. Apparent typographic defects, transcribed as printed rather than normalised: - "Bowman Elder Receiver, Indiana R. R.", Closed: "May 18. 1937" (period where a comma is expected). - "Burnham, Frederic H.", Decision issued: "Jan. 27; 1940" (semicolon-like mark where a comma is expected). - "California Conserving Co., Inc.", Decision issued: "Mar 29, 1940" (no period after "Mar"). - "Clark Shoe Co.", Opened: "Apr. 12. 1938" (period where a comma is expected). - "Condenser Corporation of America", Closed: "Oct. 15 1937" (no comma before the year). - "Continental Box Co.", Opened: "Nov 28, 1938" (no period after "Nov"). Each of these is a punctuation-level ambiguity of the kind that is hard to resolve on a 300-ppi bitonal scan; the digits themselves are clear in every case. Ship names in the three "Calmar Steamship Corporation (S. S. ...)" labels — Losmar, Flomar, Oakmar — are set in italic in the original; italics are not represented in the plain-text cells. Other: a blank line separates the "B" surnames from the "C" surnames; it is a typographic gap, not a data row, and is not transcribed. The crop is cut off just below the last row, where the line "See footnotes at end of table." is partly visible; it is a pointer line, not a numbered footnote, so "footnotes" is empty.

p. 142. Four printed columns: stub "Name of case", "Hearing" spanning "Opened" and "Closed", and a tall single heading "Decision issued". This is a continuation page; the two lines above the headings ("A. CASES HEARD PRIOR TO THE FISCAL YEAR 1939-40, IN WHICH ACTION WAS TAKEN DURING THE FISCAL YEAR—Continued" and the italic section line "Unfair labor practice cases—Continued") sit in caption position above the column rules and both carry "—Continued", so they are omitted as caption material rather than transcribed as body section rows. In the "Decision issued" column many cells hold no date but only a small raised parenthesized number standing alone, e.g. (2), (4), (5), (7). Because the marker is the entire cell content and is not attached to a value, it is transcribed as printed in parentheses rather than with a caret. Markers that ARE attached to a value are given with a caret: Evening American Publishing Co. (Opened "Sept. 29, 1938^5", Closed "Nov. 18, 1938^5") and Grower-Shipper Vegetable Association (Opened "Apr. 12, 1937^9", Closed "May 18, 1937^9"). Doubtful cells, all of them two-digit raised markers in the "Decision issued" column, which are very small and partly filled in by the scan: Danville Knitting Mills (read as (12), could be (11)); Douglas Aircraft Co. (Northrop Division) (read as (12), could be (13) or (17)); Emerson Radio & Television, Inc. (read as (12), could be (17)); Ford Motor Co., first of the five Ford rows (read as (10), could be (13) or (18)). Fall River Gas Works Co. reads (11) with more confidence. The single-digit markers are legible, though the "(2)" in Evening American Publishing Co., John Grieves Sons and Hammond Lumber Co. is faint. The row after "Foote Bros. Gear & Machine Corporation" is a ditto row: the stub reads "Do.", the Opened and Closed cells each read "do" set between leader rules (transcribed as "do", leaders dropped), and "Decision issued" reads "Do." Five further "Do." rows follow "Ford Motor Co." and repeat that company. "Gloray Knitting Mills, Dunitz, J., doing business under firm name of" wraps onto two printed lines with its three values on the second line; it is one row. Blank lines separate the alphabetical groups (D, E, F, G, H) and are not rows. Row labels are printed with leader rules that are dropped; where an abbreviation's own period abuts the leaders ("Co.", "Inc.", "Bros."), the period is kept. Cut off at the bottom of the crop: the line "See footnotes at end of table." is partly clipped. It is a reference line, not a numbered footnote, and no numbered footnotes are printed on this page, so `footnotes` is empty.

p. 143. This is a continuation page of an alphabetical case list (section A, "Unfair labor practice cases"), running from "Hilgartner Marble Co." to "Malone Aluminum & Bronze Powder Co."; it continues from the previous page and onto the next, so there is no total row and no footnote block on this image. A line "See footnotes at end of table." is printed below the rule at the foot of the page and is clipped by the crop; it carries no marker, so it is reported here rather than in `footnotes`. Ditto conventions: in the stub, repeated-case rows are printed "Do."; in the Opened and Closed columns the ditto is printed as "do" between leader dots (transcribed "do"); in Decision issued it is printed "Do.". Cells shown as "(2)", "(3)", "(4)", "(7)", "(8)", "(17)" in the Decision issued column are small raised parenthesized footnote references standing alone in place of a date (no value is attached to them), so they are transcribed as the literal cell text rather than with a caret. Doubtful cells: (a) "Do." row under "Lorillard, P., Co." — the raised marker after "Apr. 23, 1938" in both the Opened and the Closed column is a two-character superscript that scans like "1b"; read as footnote 16 (footnote 17 is referenced elsewhere on this page), but 15 or a letter suffix cannot be ruled out. (b) The raised digits for "Inter-Allied Slipper Co., Inc." and "F. W. Kurtz & Co., Inc." (both read as 3) and for "Kramer & Uchitelle" (read as 4) are small and could be confused with 5 or 8. (c) In "E. Hubschman & Sons, Inc." the separator after "Sons" prints as a dot; read as a comma to match the surrounding style. (d) Blank lines between alphabetical groups are typographic spacing, not data rows, and are not transcribed. Extra inter-word spaces from the typesetting ("Lansing Co.", "M alone") were normalized to single spaces.

p. 144. Continuation page of an alphabetical case list (surnames M through P); 4 columns: stub "Name of case", "Hearing: Opened", "Hearing: Closed", "Decision issued". Footnote-reference cells: in the "Decision issued" column many cells hold only a parenthesised raised numeral instead of a date. These are transcribed as (^n), e.g. (^2), preserving the printed parentheses with the caret marking the raised digit. No footnote text is printed on this crop — only the line "See footnotes at end of table." (partly clipped by the bottom of the crop), which I have put in `footnotes` even though it carries no marker. Doubtful raised digits (small, broken type; column "Decision issued"): "Merchants Transfer & Storage Co" reads (^5) but could be (^6); "Narragansett Plush, Inc" reads (^3) but could be (^2); "Northland Ski Mfg. Co" reads (^25) but the second digit could be 0 or 6; "Pacific Greyhound Lines" reads (^19) but could be (^10). All other markers (2, 4, 5, 6, 7) are clear. Ditto marks: cells printed as "-----do------" are transcribed as "do" (leader dots dropped); the stub ditto rows print "Do" followed by leaders and are transcribed "Do"; the "Decision issued" ditto prints centred as "Do." with a period and is transcribed that way. Row labels: "McAlbert Oil Co., Inc., and McDaniel, D. B., Drilling Corporation" wraps over two printed lines with the hyphenation "Cor- poration", repaired here. "Miller Abbatoir Co" and "Motor Specialities Corporation" are transcribed as printed (both are non-standard spellings in the original). Excluded as caption/heading matter: the panel heading "A. CASES HEARD PRIOR TO THE FISCAL YEAR 1939-40, IN WHICH ACTION WAS TAKEN DURING THE FISCAL YEAR—Continued" and the italic sub-caption "Unfair labor practice cases—Continued". The latter sits above the table's top rule and carries a "—Continued" tag, so I treated it as caption rather than as a body section line. Blank spacer lines separate the M/Mc, N, O and P alphabetical blocks; they carry no label and are not transcribed as rows.

p. 145. Continuation page of an alphabetical case list (surnames P through S); no footnote texts are printed on this crop. The line "See footnotes at end of table." appears below the last rule and is partly cut off by the bottom of the crop; it is not a numbered footnote so it is not listed in `footnotes`. Omitted as caption/continuation matter above the column headings: "A. CASES HEARD PRIOR TO THE FISCAL YEAR 1939-40, IN WHICH ACTION WAS TAKEN DURING THE FISCAL YEAR—Continued" and the italic sub-caption "Unfair labor practice cases—Continued". Cells in the "Decision issued" column that read (2), (4), (7) or (8) are raised parenthesized footnote references standing in place of a date, not dates; they are transcribed with the parentheses as printed. Rows affected: Princess Garment Co., Fashion Frocks, Inc. (4); R. H. H. Steel Laundry (7); Ramsey, Edward J. (8); Republic Steel Corporation (4); Richard Bros. Corporation (4); Rushmore Paper Co. (2); Salt Lake Transfer Co. (4); Samuel Stamping & Enameling Co. (4); J. W. Sanders Cotton Mill (8); Sanitary Refrigerator Co. (7); Shepard Steamship Co. (4). Ditto marks: the stub ditto is printed "Do." (rows 58 and 62 of the body, under Simplicity Pattern Co. and Smith Wood Products, Inc.); the in-column ditto is printed lowercase "do" between leader dashes (Fred Rueping Leather Co., "Opened"; the "Do." row under Simplicity Pattern Co., both "Opened" and "Closed"). Both are transcribed exactly as printed. Doubtful / apparent misprints: - "Pittsburgh Plate Glass Co.", Decision issued: printed as "Sept. 19 1939" with no comma visible before the year, unlike every other date on the page; transcribed as printed, but the comma may simply have failed to print or be lost in the scan. - "Press Co., Inc., The, and Gannett Co., The": the hearing closed date "Jan. 21, 1937" precedes the opened date "Oct. 25, 1937"; the year is probably a misprint for 1938, transcribed as printed. - "Skinner & Kennedy Printing Co.", Decision issued: the day digit reads 26 but 20 cannot be fully ruled out at this scan resolution. - "Phelps Dodge Corporation" (first row), Decision issued "Jan. 16, 1940": the 6 is partly filled in and could conceivably be a 0 or 8; 16 is the best reading. Blank lines separating the alphabetical groups (P / Q / R / S) are typographic spacing only and are not transcribed as rows.

p. 146. Omitted headings: two lines are printed above the column headings, \"A. CASES HEARD PRIOR TO THE FISCAL YEAR 1939-40, IN WHICH ACTION WAS TAKEN DURING THE FISCAL YEAR-Continued\" and the italic subheading \"Unfair labor practice cases-Continued\". Both are carry-over (\"-Continued\") repeats of the table's section captions from the preceding page rather than new section lines, so they were left out of `rows`; a downstream user who needs the section context should know this page sits inside section A, \"Unfair labor practice cases\".\n\nCrop: the table is continued from the previous page and runs on past the bottom of this crop (the last body row is a \"Do.\" line under Virginia Electric & Power Co., and the page ends with the directional line \"See footnotes at end of table.\"). No numbered footnote texts appear on this page; the single line printed under the table was placed in `footnotes` even though it carries no marker.\n\nDitto cells: in the Opened and Closed columns the ditto is printed lower-case as \"do\" followed by leader dots (rows \"Texas Co. (Port Neches Works)\", the \"Do.\" row after Tri-State Towel Service Co., and the two \"Do.\" rows after Virginia Electric & Power Co.); in the Decision issued column it is printed \"Do.\" with a period. Both forms are transcribed as printed.\n\nDoubtful cells, all of them small raised numerals in the Decision issued column, where the scan resolution makes single digits hard to separate: \"Superfine Slipper Co.\" read as (13) but could be (12) or (15); \"Tri-State Towel Service Co.\" read as (25) and the \"Do.\" row below it as (24) - this pair runs out of numerical order, which is unusual for this table and may mean the two are swapped or that one is misread; \"Union Forging Co.\" read as (9) but could be (8); \"Terminal Manufacturing Co.\" read as (7) but could be (1). The raised footnote markers attached to dates (^20 on both Southern Pacific Steamship Co. cells, ^21 on both Stewart Die Casting Corporation cells, ^22 on both Stromberg Carlson Telephone Co. cells) are legible and consistent within each row.\n\nAs-printed spellings retained: \"Star & Cresent Boat Co.\" (printed \"Cresent\", apparently a misprint for \"Crescent\"); \"Superior Cabinet Corporation et al\" (no period after \"al\" is distinguishable from the leader dots that follow).

p. 147. Continuation page of a case-list table (section "A. Cases heard prior to the fiscal year 1939-40, in which action was taken during the fiscal year" / subheading "Unfair labor practice cases"); the headings shown are reprinted on this page, so they are given. Four columns: stub "Name of case", "Opened" and "Closed" under the spanning head "Hearing", and "Decision issued". The crop cuts off the footnote block below the table rule: only the upper half of one line of type is visible, reading approximately "Additional hearings: Oct. 27-28, 1938" preceded by a footnote marker I cannot read with confidence. Because the line is not fully legible, it is not included in `footnotes`. In the "Wilson H. Lee Co." row the "Decision issued" cell holds a raised parenthetical reference "(7)" standing in place of a date (a pointer to a footnote on the page); it is transcribed as printed. The digit is small and could conceivably be another numeral. The "Do" row (ditto of "Wilson Line, Inc.") is printed as "Do" with following leader dots in the stub and "do." between leader dots in the Opened and Closed columns; transcribed as "Do." / "do." / "do." / "Do.". Whether a period is set after the stub "Do" is obscured by the leaders. A blank line separates the "Woodside..." row from the "Yellow Cab & Baggage Co." row (an alphabetical break, W to Y); no row is omitted there.
