Unfair Labor Practice and Representation Cases Received, Closed, and Pending (Complainant or Petitioner Identified), Fiscal Year 1953

p. 105. Structure: 13 columns — one stub plus 6 columns under "Number of unfair labor practice cases" and 6 under "Number of representation cases". This is a single table, not two side-by-side panels: there is only one stub column (printed at the far left), the two halves carry different top-level headings, and the five stub labels in each band serve both halves. Section/band rows: each band line carries TWO labels printed side by side, each centred over its own half (CA/RC, CB/RM, CC/RD). Following the spanning convention used for headings, each label is repeated in every column it spans and the stub cell is left empty. The fourth band (CD cases) has no representation-side counterpart, so its right-half cells are empty. Blank cells: in the RC band the "Employers" column is a dash rule for all five rows, and in the RM band the four columns A.F.L. affiliates, C.I.O. affiliates, Unaffiliated unions and Individuals are dash rules; all are transcribed as "". The entire right half of the CD band is blank on the page. Headings: the left half prints "A F L affiliates" with no visible periods while the right half prints "A. F. L. affiliates"; this is almost certainly scan dropout of the periods rather than a real typographic difference, but both are transcribed as rendered. Wrapped headings joined and end-of-line hyphens repaired: "Unaffil-iated unions" → "Unaffiliated unions", "Individ-uals" → "Individuals", "Employ-ers" → "Employers". The stub column has no printed heading at any level. Verification: every band is internally consistent — the five identification columns sum to the Total column in each row, Pending July 1 + Received = On docket, and On docket − Closed = Pending June 30, for both halves and all four bands. No misprints detected. A small ink speck sits above "2,444" (CA, Total, Pending July 1, 1952); it is a scan artefact, not a footnote marker. The caption, the running head ("Eighteenth Annual Report of the National Labor Relations Board") and the page number (94) are omitted as instructed.
