Reader’s notes

p. 174. Six columns: stub, "All cases", three columns under the spanning heading "Unfair labor practice cases" ("All C cases", "CA cases 1", "Other C cases 1"), and "Representation cases". Cells printed as dash rules (------) are transcribed as "". Footnote markers 2 and 3 are printed as raised digits BEFORE the figures 320 and 211 in the "Decisions and orders" row; per instruction they are written after the value as 320^2 and 211^3. The scan is a slightly degraded 1-bit image, so the dot over "i" is often lost (e.g. "Complaints issued" reads as "Complaınts ıssued"); row labels have been transcribed with normal spelling. The "Rulings on objections and/or challenges in stipulated election cases" label wraps over three printed lines with an end-of-line hyphen in "stip-ulated", repaired here. Footnote 2 ends without a period as printed (footnotes 1 and 3 have one). All printed row and column sums check out arithmetically; no misprints detected.
