Analysis of Methods of Disposition of Unfair Labor Practice Cases Closed, Fiscal Year 1953

p. 111. The table continues beyond this page: the stage rows shown (before complaint, after complaint/before hearing, after hearing/before intermediate report, after intermediate report/before Board decision) sum to 5,434 of the 5,868 total C cases (CA 4,380 of 4,719; CB 820 of 882; CC 154 of 168), so later stages are on the following page. Only the CD column is complete here (78 of 78). No footnote text appears in the crop — the image ends at the table's closing rule — even though markers 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9 and the reference 10 are used; markers 4, 5 and 6 do not appear on this page. Decimal points: in the percent columns the scan frequently drops or barely renders the decimal point, printing e.g. "100 0", "87 0", "15 6", "46 1", "1 3", "3 0" and leading-dot values as a bare "7", "9", "6". These are transcribed with the decimal point restored ("100.0", ".7", ".9", ".6"), since every percent cell carries one decimal place. Where a percent cell shows only a bare "0" with no visible point I left it as "0": CC cases percent for "Compliance with consent decree" and "Otherwise" in the second block, and CB cases and CC cases percent for "Otherwise" in the third block (these are almost certainly ".0" in the original print). "(10)" cells hold a raised footnote reference 10 in parentheses used in place of a value (the usual "less than 0.05 percent" convention), not a number. Doubtful cells: the superscript marker on the All C cases value "2" in the "Otherwise" row of the "After hearing opened, before issuance of intermediate report" block is hard to read — transcribed as 8, but it could be 3 or 4. The CD cases markers on 22, 48 and 8 are read as 7, 8 and 9; 4, 5 and 6 are possible alternative readings given those footnote numbers are otherwise unused on this page. In the "Otherwise" row of the "Before issuance of complaint" block, the CD cases "Percent of cases closed" cell appears blank in the image (the other three CD rows of that block already sum to 100.0), so it is transcribed as empty. Dash rules ("------") fill the two CD cases columns for every row from "After issuance of complaint, before opening of hearing" down; these are transcribed as empty cells.

p. 112. CROP: this is a continuation page. No column headings are printed on the image, so header_rows is empty. The table continues from the preceding page; the opening rows and the caption are not in this crop. COLUMNS: 11 columns total (stub + 10), read off the vertical rules. The 10 numeric columns run as five Number/Percent pairs. The two rightmost columns carry a dashed rule in every row and are therefore transcribed as "" throughout. Because no headings are printed here, I cannot name the pairs; the arithmetic shows cols 3/5/7 (counts) sum to col 1 for each row, with the difference accounted for by the "Includes N NLRA cases" footnotes. DECIMAL POINTS: in this 1-bit scan the decimal point in the percent columns frequently drops out, so values print as e.g. "3 4", "2 1", "1 6", "4 8", or as a bare "3"/"6"/"8"/"1". I have rendered these as 3.4, 2.1, 1.6, 4.8, .3, .6, .8, .1. This is supported by arithmetic: in every percent column the sub-rows sum exactly to their section line (e.g. col 2: .3+.5=.8; 2.1+1.3=3.4; 2.0+.7=2.7 — and col 4: .3+.5=.8; 2.1+1.4=3.5; 1.9+.6=2.5 — and col 6: .2+.6=.8; 2.4+.9=3.3; 1.6+.8=2.4 — and col 8: 1.2; 3.0+1.8=4.8; 2.3). No value was computed or rounded; only the faint points were restored. ZERO vs .0 IN PERCENT COLUMNS: in columns 2, 4, 6 and 8 the printed zero is sometimes a bare "0" and sometimes ".0", and at this scan quality the two are not always separable. I transcribed each cell as it reads to me, but the choice between "0" and ".0" in those cells is the least reliable part of this grid. Specifically doubtful: col 6 at "Withdrawn"/"Otherwise" under "After Board decision" and under "After circuit court decree"; col 8 at "After Supreme Court denied writ of certiorari", "Compliance" and "Dismissed" in the last block. "(10)" CELLS: the parenthesized raised 10 used in place of a percent value is a reference to footnote 10 ("Less than one-tenth of 1 percent."). It is the whole content of those cells rather than a marker attached to a number, so it is written "(10)" without a caret. LEADING FOOTNOTE MARKERS: raised digits printed to the LEFT of a value have been moved behind a caret per the convention, e.g. printed "4 205" is written "205^4", "5 155" -> "155^5", "6 115" -> "115^6", "3 1" -> "1^3", "2 14" -> "14^2", "3 2" -> "2^3". ROW LABEL: "After Board order adopting intermediate report followed by circuit court decree. Compliance" is one printed row wrapped over two lines, with the word "Compliance" on the label's second line followed by leaders; it is kept as a single row with values. FOOTNOTES 1, 7, 8 and 9 are printed under this crop but their markers appear on the earlier part of the table (previous page), not on any row in this image. Footnotes 4, 6 and 8 are printed without a closing period; transcribed as printed. ROW 1, COLUMN 6: the cell reads with a stray ink mark before the digit, so it could be read as "( 8". Column arithmetic (.2 + .6 = .8) confirms it is ".8".
