Reader’s notes

p. 27. Five printed columns: stub plus two spanner groups ("Unfair labor practice cases" and "Representation cases"), each over "Number" and "Percent of total". The percent figures are typeset with a space after the decimal point ("51. 3", "66. 2"); transcribed closed up as "51.3", "66.2". The footnote marker 1 is attached to the caption, which is omitted per instructions. No rows are cut off by the crop; the body consists of the eight industry rows with no total line. Percentages are internally consistent with the Number columns in every row (e.g., 219/(219+208)=51.3), so no suspected misprints.
