Reader’s notes
p. 90. Seven columns: stub plus three two-column panels (All cases, Unfair labor practice cases, Representation cases), each split into Number and Percent of total. The scan is slightly degraded in two cells, both resolved by arithmetic: "Unfair labor practice cases / Number" for "After issuance of complaint or order for investigation" reads 98, and "Representation cases / Number" for the same row reads 94 (the 9 is partly filled in and could be misread as 0); for "After decision" the representation Number reads 185 (the 8 is broken and resembles an S). All columns foot correctly to the printed totals (1,858+192+269+552 = 2,871; 1,191+98+124+367 = 1,780; 667+94+145+185 = 1,091), and each percent column sums to 100.0, so no misprints are apparent. The row label "After issuance of complaint or order for investigation" is printed over two lines and joined here. A stray typographic dot appears under "Representation cases" in the heading and under "Number" in its subheading; these are scan artifacts, not footnote markers, and are not transcribed.
