  1. 1 In unfair labor practice cases "workers involved" are the number employed in the establishment where the case arises, in representation cases "workers involved" are the number in the "unit" for which the petition is filed or the number in the "unit" found appropriate by the Board.

65 of 65 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.

Reader’s notes

p. 111. The table has 8 printed columns: the stub plus seven under the spanning heading "Cases received" (three under "Number", two under "Percent of total", two under "Workers involved"). Decimal points in the "Percent of total" columns print very faintly in this scan and in most cells read as a blank gap (e.g. "31 1", "68 9", "22 0"); a few cells show the period clearly ("78.0", "72.0", "39.6"). All of these are one-decimal percentages, so they are transcribed with a decimal point. This is the only systematic typographic repair made. Every figure was cross-checked arithmetically and the printed table is internally consistent: the twelve monthly values sum exactly to each printed total (12,260 all cases; 3,815 unfair labor practice; 8,445 representation; 4,013,876 and 1,206,338 workers involved), 3,815 + 8,445 = 12,260, and each percent matches its own number/all-cases ratio to the printed decimal. No suspected misprints. The footnote is transcribed as printed, including the comma (rather than a semicolon) joining its two clauses and the comma before "in representation cases". At the very bottom edge the crop clips the first line of the next table's caption ("Table 4.—..."), which is outside this table and is omitted.
