Reader’s notes
p. 19. Nine columns: stub plus four columns under "Unfair labor practice cases" and four under "Representation cases". No footnotes are printed under the table. Doubtful cell: row 1940, "Representation cases / Closed before formal action / Percent". The glyph reads as "73.4" in the scan, but it is ink-damaged and is very likely a printed "73.1": the companion percent in that row is 26.9 (73.4 + 26.9 = 100.3, whereas every other row's before/after percents sum exactly to 100.0), and 1,966 of 1,966 + 724 = 2,690 is 73.1 percent. Transcribed as it appears per instruction; treat with caution. The row label "1936-45" is printed with an en dash in the original. All four number columns were checked against the 1936-45 total line and each sums exactly as printed (32,512; 3,472; 27,652; 10,420), which corroborates the digits in the count columns.
