- 1 In 3 of these cases, enforcement was first denied earlier in the fiscal year, but was subsequently granted on authority of the Supreme Court's decision in N. L. R. B. v. Dant and Russell, 344 U. S. 375.
- 2 Two of these cases were remanded to the Board for further proceedings
- 3 Including 13 reversals based on noncompliance with filing requirements by the complaining union's parent federation
- 4 In these cases, lower court denials of enforcement based on noncompliance with sec. 9(h) were reversed. The orders in 2 of these cases were subsequently enforced; 1 case remained pending at the end of the fiscal year.

Reader’s notes
p. 124. Five columns: stub (Results), then Number/Percent under "July 1, 1952, to June 30, 1953" and Number/Percent under "July 5, 1935, to June 30, 1953". Decimal points: throughout the two Percent columns the scan has dropped many decimal points, so values print as e.g. "100 0", "60 1", "21 5", "1 9", "16 1", "1 5", and bare " 8" / " 4". Other cells in the same columns ("63.4", "13.7", "20.6", "42.9", "68.3", "13.4", "8.6", "7.3") show the period clearly, and every column sums to 100.0 with the decimal restored, so I have transcribed these as decimals (".8" for the FY1953 "Remanded to Board" percent and ".4" for the cumulative "Board orders partially enforced and partially remanded" percent, both printed with no leading zero). Footnote markers: the raised 1 before 83, raised 2 before 27, raised 3 before 197, and raised 4 before 3 ("Remanded to court of appeals") are markers, written after the value behind a caret. Possible misprint: the Supreme Court FY1953 "Board orders set aside" percent reads 14.2 (1 of 7 = 14.3); it is transcribed as printed, and the column does sum to 100.0 as printed (42.9 + 14.2 + 42.9). Footnotes 1 and 4 have faint sentence punctuation in the scan: "N L. R. B. v Dant and Russell" and "were reversed The orders" — I have supplied the periods after "N", "v" and "reversed". Footnotes 2 and 3 end with no terminal period, as printed. Minor artifacts: a short stray horizontal mark sits just above "131" in the first data row (not a footnote marker, and no footnote 5 or similar exists); a stray comma-like mark sits in the stub at the left of the "Results" heading, and a small apostrophe-like mark floats to the right of footnote 2. All appear to be scan noise.
