Cases heard during the fiscal year 1939-40—Unfair labor practice cases

p. 152. Caption block excluded per instructions: the page carries the section head "B. CASES HEARD DURING THE FISCAL YEAR 1939-40" and, below it, the italic sub-caption "Unfair labor practice cases"; both sit above the table's top rule, so neither is transcribed as a body row. No footnote texts are printed on this page. The line below the table reads "See footnotes at end of table." (slightly clipped by the bottom of the crop); it carries no marker, so `footnotes` is empty. The table continues onto later pages (the alphabetical list stops mid-F). Parenthesized footnote references standing alone as a cell value are printed as a raised digit inside parentheses; I have transcribed them as "(1)", "(4)" with no caret, since the whole parenthesis is the cell content rather than a marker attached to a value. Raised markers printed to the LEFT of a date in the "Decision issued" column have been moved behind a caret after the date, per the marker rule: Belding Hosiery Co., Bemis Bros. Bag Co. (first line), American White Cross Laboratories, Bradburn Motors Co., Cayuga Linen & Cotton Mills, Colonial Togs Co., Colt-Brady Co., Deere John Harvester Works, Evelyn Coats, Faribault Woolen Mills. Doubtful glyphs: the superscript digit on those "Decision issued" dates is small and partly broken; it reads most like a 3 but a 2 cannot be ruled out — if one is wrong they are all likely wrong together, since the same glyph is used throughout. The marker on "Evelyn Coats" is clearly a different, taller digit, read as 5. The marker in the "Decision issued" cell for "A. S. Beck Shoe Corporation" is read as (4) but is faint and could be (6). The trailing superscript on the "Closed" cell of "Allied Yarns Corporation" (Sept. 22, 1939) is the only marker printed after a value in that column and is read as 3 with the same uncertainty. Values printed outside the stated fiscal year, transcribed as printed and not corrected: "Decatur Iron and Steel Co." closed July 19, 1940; "Eavenson & Levering Co., Inc." closed July 3, 1940; "Allied Yarns Corporation" decision Aug. 26, 1940; "Evelyn Coats" opened Dec. 1, 1938 (the only 1938 date on the page). "Do" (ditto) rows under American Hat Mfg. Co., Bemis Bros. Bag Co. and Cudahy Packing Co. are indented in the original; the indentation is not reproduced in the stub text. Blank typographic gaps between alphabetical letter groups are spacing only, not printed rows, and are not transcribed.

p. 153. Continuation page of an alphabetical case list (section \"B. CASES HEARD DURING THE FISCAL YEAR 1939-40\", subsection \"Unfair labor practice cases\"); the table runs on from the previous page and continues past this crop. No numeric footnotes are printed on this page — only the line \"See footnotes at end of table.\", which is clipped at the very bottom edge of the crop (the descenders are cut); I have put that line in `footnotes` even though it carries no marker.\n\nDitto marks: the stub and the \"Decision issued\" column print a capitalised \"Do.\"; the \"Opened\" and \"Closed\" columns print a lower-case ditto set inside leader dashes (\"-----do-------\"). I dropped the leaders and transcribed those as \"do.\"; whether the printed lower-case ditto carries a final period is not fully legible at this resolution.\n\nFootnote markers that stand alone in a cell are printed as small raised parenthesised numerals — (1), (6), (8), (9), (10). Because they are the entire content of the cell with no value attached, I transcribed them as \"(1)\" etc. rather than with caret notation. Markers attached to a date are given behind a caret, and note that in the original the marker is printed BEFORE the date in every case except Kroger Grocery & Baking Co., where the \"11\" follows \"July 27, 1939\".\n\nDoubtful readings:\n- The raised marker printed before \"Mar. 26, 1940\" (General Baking Co., Inc.), \"Dec. 8, 1939\" (Holly Hosiery Mills), \"May 6, 1940\" (Imperial Reed and Fibre Co.) and \"Mar. 25, 1940\" (Jersey Maid Dairy Co., Inc.) in the \"Decision issued\" column is small and thickened by the scan; I read it as 3 in all four places, but 5 is possible. The four are consistent with one another.\n- Hudson Motor Car Co., \"Opened\": printed as \"May 7. 1940\" with what appears to be a period rather than a comma; transcribed as printed. There is also a stray ink speck to the right of \"June 11, 1940\" in that row's \"Closed\" cell, which I treated as dirt and not as a footnote marker.\n- Indianapolis Power and Light Co., \"Closed\": printed as \"Aug. 4. 1939\", again with an apparent period for the comma; transcribed as printed.\n- Stub label \"Grity Adrian Mfg. Co.\" is transcribed as it appears; the first word may be a misprint or a broken letter (e.g. \"Gritzy\").\n- Stub label \"Jackson Shoe Mfg. Co., doing business as H. Jacob & Sons, Inc.,\" wraps onto two printed lines and is joined here; it ends with a comma before the leader dots in the original.\n\nBlank lines separating the alphabetical blocks (F/G, G/H, H/I, I/J, J/K) are typographic spacing only and are not transcribed as rows.

p. 154. Four printed columns: stub "Name of case", "Hearing" split into "Opened" and "Closed", and "Decision issued". This crop is a continuation page; the caption block above the headings ("B. CASES HEARD DURING THE FISCAL YEAR 1939-40—Continued" and the italic sub-caption "Unfair labor practice cases—Continued") has been left out as caption material. No numbered footnote texts are printed on this page; the only line below the body is the reference "See footnotes at end of table.", so `footnotes` is empty. Ditto marks: cells reading "do" (printed as "do" followed by leader dots) are kept as "do"; row labels printed as "Do" under a repeated case name are kept as "Do". Parenthesised raised digits that stand alone in a value cell — (1), (5), (10) — are transcribed as printed, in parentheses, since they occupy the whole cell rather than being attached to a value. Raised markers attached to a date have been moved behind a caret, e.g. a raised 3 printed before "Nov. 2, 1939" is written "Nov. 2, 1939^3"; "Aug. 18, 1939^15" has its raised 15 printed after the date. Doubtful cells: - "New York & Porto Rico Steamship Co.", Closed: the raised digit inside the parentheses is blurred and could be 5, 6 or 8; transcribed as (5) to match the companion row "New York & Cuba Mail Steamship Co." directly above it and the third "Do" row under Republic Steel, both of which read (5) more clearly. Flagging in case the three are not in fact the same footnote. - "Ohio Calcium Co.", Decision issued: the parenthesised marker is smudged/overinked; read as (1) from context (every neighbouring row carries (1)), but the glyph itself is not legible. - "Philadelphia Gear Works" and "Pickands-Mather Co.", Decision issued: read as (10); the second digit is faint and could conceivably be a different numeral. - The raised markers transcribed as ^3 (six rows: Mayfair Bag, National Herald, National Steel Equipment, Park Hosiery, Rex Textile, Robbins Tire) are small and could be 5 or 8; 3 is the most consistent reading across all six. - Three date cells appear to be set with a period rather than a comma before the year — "R. C. Mahon Co." Closed ("July 20. 1939"), "Poultry Producers of Central California" Closed ("Feb. 2. 1940"), and "J. Allen Smith Co." Opened ("Feb. 23. 1940"). These are almost certainly commas filled in by the scan, and have been normalised to commas to match every other date in the table; noting it rather than carrying a probable scan artefact into the data. Spellings kept as printed even where they differ from the usual corporate name: "Libby McNeil & Libby" (usually Libby, McNeill & Libby), "Moore-McCormick Lines, Inc." (usually Moore-McCormack), "Leybrow Manufacturing Co.", "Henry Levear, Inc.". Blank lines separating the alphabetical groups (L, M, N, O, P, R, S) are typographic spacing only and carry no label, so they are not transcribed as rows. The table continues beyond this crop at both ends.

p. 155. Continuation page of an alphabetical case list (names S through Y); 4 columns: stub "Name of case", "Hearing" spanning "Opened" and "Closed", and "Decision issued". Footnote references: in the "Decision issued" column a cell that holds only a raised parenthesized numeral is transcribed as printed with a caret on the raised digit, e.g. "(^1)". Where a raised marker is printed immediately BEFORE a date (e.g. a raised 3 ahead of "May 6, 1940"), it is written after the value per the marker rule, e.g. "May 6, 1940^3". Doubtful cells: - The small raised markers preceding decision dates are mushy at this scan resolution; I read all of them as 3 ("Decision issued by stipulation after hearing"), which is the only footnote consistent with a printed decision date. Affected rows: Sport Wear Hosiery Co., Standard Cap & Molding Co., Standard Novelty Co. and Julius Miller, Standard Wholesale Phosphate & Acid Works, Technical Porcelain & China Ware Co., Texas Corporation, Thermoid Co., United Tent & Awning Co., P. Wall Mfg. & Supply Co., Walnut Hosiery Mills, White Bob Mills. Individually some rendered to me more like 8 or 9, but 8 ("hearing still in progress") and 9 ("settled after issuance of intermediate report") are incompatible with a decision date. - Western Union Telegraph Co., "Decision issued": read as (^6); the digit could be 0 or 5, but footnote 6 "Settled after hearing" fits. - "WFBM Broadcasting Stations, Indianapolis Power & Light Co.": the second letter rendered to me closer to "E" ("WEBM"), but the Indianapolis Power & Light station was WFBM, so I transcribed WFBM. Flagging in case the page truly prints WEBM. - Standard Knitting Mills, Inc., "Opened": a small stray mark sits just before the "8" in "Jan. 8, 1940"; I read it as a printing speck / kerning artifact, not a footnote marker or digit. - "Weyerhauser Timber Co." is transcribed as printed (not the modern spelling "Weyerhaeuser"). - Cells printed as "-----do-----" (Tex-O-Kan Morten Milling branch; Youngstown Mines Corporation et al.) are given as "do" with the surrounding dash leaders dropped. - "et al." periods in row labels run into the leader dots and cannot be distinguished with certainty; I rendered them with the period. Crop: the caption lines ("B. CASES HEARD DURING THE FISCAL YEAR 1939-40—Continued" and the italic subtitle "Unfair labor practice cases—Continued") are omitted per instructions. Footnote 14 is the last fully legible footnote; a further line appears to begin at the very bottom edge of the crop and may be cut off. Blank lines separating the alphabetical groups (S / T / U / V / W / Y) are spacing only and are not transcribed as rows.
