Reader’s notes
p. 87. Single heading level; 4 columns. Cells printed as a parenthesized raised 1 (the \"less than 0.1 percent\" footnote reference standing in place of a value) are given as \"(^1)\": rows \"Direct recognition\" (under the second \"Adjusted\" / After hearing block) in both percent columns, \"Without election\" under Certification in both percent columns, and \"Closed otherwise\" in the \"Percent of cases on docket\" column. The \"Percent of cases closed\" cell of \"Cases on docket during the year\" holds only leader dots, so it is \"\". Row labels are printed with indentation marking a hierarchy (e.g. the three recognition lines sit under each \"Adjusted\"; \"Before hearing\", \"After hearing\" and \"After Board decision\" sit under \"After formal action, total\"); the grid keeps the wording only, so repeated labels such as \"Adjusted\", \"Withdrawn\", \"Dismissed\", \"Direct recognition\", \"After stipulated election\", \"After ordered election\" and \"Without election\" recur under different parents. A small stray ink speck sits in the \"Percent of cases closed\" column beside the 6.8 of \"Union unsuccessful in election or pay-roll check\" (first block); it is scanner dirt, not a footnote marker, and is not transcribed. Digit groupings printed with a space after the comma (\"7. 900\", \"6, 507\") are written closed up. All printed component figures sum to their printed totals in the \"Number of cases\" column; no misprints detected. The caption and the first line of the next table at the foot of the crop are omitted.
