Reader’s notes
p. 156. Six columns: stub plus Total, AFL-CIO affiliates, Unaffiliated unions, Individuals, Employers. The stub column has no printed heading, so the stub cells of the three heading levels are empty. "Number of cases" spans all five data columns; "Total" is a tall heading spanning heading levels 2 and 3; "Identification of complainant or petitioner" spans the last four columns. The four panel headings ("All cases 1", "Unfair labor practice cases", "Representation cases", "Union-shop deauthorization cases") are printed centered across the data columns rather than in the stub; they are transcribed as label-only section rows. The raised 1 on "All cases" is the footnote marker for the long note below the table. In the Union-shop deauthorization block the Employers column holds a dash rule (------------) in all five rows; these are transcribed as empty cells. In footnote 1 the roman numerals in "sec 9 (c) (1) (A) (i)" (RC) and "sec 9 (c) (1) (A) (ii)" (RD) are set in a degraded italic face that scans like "(1)" and "(11)"; they are lowercase roman i and ii. Several periods after "sec" are missing or faint in the original and are transcribed as printed; the item markers are inconsistent in the original ("CA:", "CB:", "CC:" with colons but "CD." with a period, "RD" with a raised dot, and "UD" with no punctuation) and are left as read. Terminal sentence periods are absent after "various types of cases", "sec. 8 (a)", "(5), (6)", "the appropriate unit", and "sec 8 (a) (3)" in the original. No arithmetic was altered. As a check only: every column adds correctly (pending July 1 + received = on docket; on docket − closed = pending June 30), the four identification columns sum to Total in every row, and the three case-type panels sum to the All cases panel in every row.
