Reader’s notes
p. 90. Four printed columns: stub plus All cases / Unfair labor practice cases / Representation cases; the stub column has no printed heading. The last five rows (Decisions and Orders through Certifications or dismissal on record) are printed indented under "Decisions issued" and are its components; the indentation is not reproduced in the labels. Cells shown as dash rules ("------") are transcribed as empty. The scan is slightly degraded in places: "285" (Complaints issued, both All cases and Unfair labor practice cases) and "1,239"/"288" (Decisions issued) have broken digit strokes but read clearly in context; the arithmetic is internally consistent (180+108+662+207+82 = 1,239; 180+108 = 288; 662+207+82 = 951; 288+951 = 1,239). A stray ink speck appears left of the "1,211" and "207" values in the All cases column; it is not a digit or footnote marker. No footnotes are printed under the table.
