  1. 1 The States are grouped according to the method used by the Bureau of the Census, U. S. Department of Commerce.
  2. 2 See table 1, footnote 1, for definitions of types of cases.

582 of 582 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.

Reader’s notes

p. 179. 11 columns: stub, "All cases", five unfair-labor-practice columns, four representation columns. The crop is cut off at the bottom: the table continues on the following page (the Pacific division and any remaining areas are missing), and the grand "Total" row at the top, 13,303, plainly covers more than the divisions shown here. A partially cropped line reading "See footnotes at end of table." is just visible at the very bottom edge; the numbered footnotes themselves (markers 1 and 2) are not on this image, so `footnotes` is empty. Scanning specks that are not part of the data: a short dash-like mark sits left of the RD^2 value for New Hampshire (2) and left of the RD^2 value for Missouri (8); a small mark sits left of the CA^2 value for Nebraska (14); and a small mark follows the CB^2 value for Texas (43). All four are read as stray marks, with the values as transcribed. I checked the arithmetic as a reading aid only: every state row's C columns sum to its "All C cases", its R columns to its "All R cases", and those two to "All cases"; and every division line equals the sum of its states, in all ten numeric columns. Nothing was computed into the grid — the agreement is simply evidence the digits were read correctly.

p. 180. Scope: the crop covers the whole printed page (p. 167) and therefore contains TWO tables. Transcribed here is the first one only, the continuation portion of "Table 6.—Geographic Distribution of Unfair Labor Practice and Representation Cases Received, Fiscal Year 1957—Continued", which is the table the filename identifies (t0, continued from the previous page). The lower half of the crop holds a second, separate table, "Table 7.—Disposition of Unfair Labor Practice Cases Closed, Fiscal Year 1957" (stub "Stage of disposition"; paired Number / Percent-of-cases-closed columns under All C, CA, CB, CC and CD cases, plus its own five footnotes); it has different headings and is not part of Table 6, so it is not included above. If the intended target was that second table instead, this grid is of the wrong one. Table 6 is cut off at the top by the page break: this page begins at the "Pacific" division, and the earlier divisions, the U.S. total and the table caption's first part are on the preceding page. Column headings are reprinted on this page, so they are given above. Superscript markers: the raised digit on CA, CB, CC, CD, RC, RM and RD in the second heading level is small and slightly broken in the scan; a few could be mistaken for a 3, but only footnotes 1 and 2 exist under the table and footnote 2 is the definitions note, so all are read as ^2. Arithmetic checks pass throughout: Washington + Oregon + California equals the Pacific line in all ten columns; Alaska + Hawaii + Puerto Rico + Canada + Virgin Islands equals the Outlying areas line in all ten columns; and "All C cases" + "All R cases" equals "All cases" on every line. No misprints detected. The double rule between the California and Outlying areas rows is a section divider, not a row; row indentation of the State lines under their division headings is not represented in the grid.
