1 Cases filed jointly by unions of different affiliation are counted only once under "total" but are duplicated in the tabulations by identification of complainant or petitioner.
2 "Workers" are not included for "all cases" since the definition of "workers" differs for the two types of Board cases. In unfair labor practice cases "workers involved" are the number employed in the establishment in which the case arises. For representation cases, the definition is the number of workers in the "unit" for which the petition is filed or the number in the unit found appropriate by the Board.

51 of 85 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.

Reader’s notes

p. 82. Seven columns: stub plus Total, four identification columns, and the workers column. "Number of cases" spans the Total and the four identification columns only; "Total number of workers involved" is a tall single heading in its own column, and "Total^1" is tall across the lower two heading levels. In the "All cases" section the last column prints a small parenthesised raised 2 in every row — a pointer to footnote 2 standing in place of a value, not a number. It is transcribed as the cell text "(2)" in all five rows. Three section lines ("All cases", "Unfair labor practice cases", "Representation cases") are printed centred across the data columns as band headings; they are given as label-only rows with empty value cells. Scan artefacts in two stub labels were read as commas: "Cases pending June 30, 1944" in the All cases block prints what looks like an apostrophe after "30", and "Cases pending July 1, 1943" in the Representation block prints what looks like a semicolon after "1". Both read as the comma used in the parallel rows. All figures are internally consistent as a check: for every column, the unfair labor practice and representation entries sum to the All cases entry, and pending + received = on docket = closed + pending in each block, including the workers column.
