Reader’s notes
p. 176. Six printed columns: stub, "All cases", three columns under the spanner "Unfair labor practice cases" ("All C cases", "CA cases 1", "Other C cases 1"), and "Representation cases". The last five body rows are indented under "Decisions issued, total"; the indentation is not reproduced in the labels. In the "Decisions and orders" row the footnote markers 2 and 3 are printed as raised digits to the LEFT of the values 336 and 125; they are transcribed after the numbers as 336^2 and 125^3. Cells shown as dash rules (dotted/dashed leaders spanning the cell) are transcribed as empty, e.g. the "CA cases" cell of "Notices of hearing issued" and the unfair-labor-practice cells of the last three rows. All printed row and column arithmetic is internally consistent; no suspected misprints. No rows or columns appear cut off by the crop.
