Analysis of Stages of Disposition of Unfair Labor Practice Cases Closed, Fiscal Year 1960

p. 203. Crop is the first part of Table 7 only: the table is cut off after the "After intermediate report, before issuance of Board decision" block (a double rule closes the page), so the later stages of disposition and the whole footnote block are on the continuation page. No footnotes are printed on this image, hence the empty list, even though markers ^3, ^4 and ^5 are used in the body and ^1 in the headings. Decimal points: this is a 1-bit scan in which the period glyph frequently fails to print, so many percent cells appear as a digit, a gap and a digit ("100 0", "12 4", "85 0", "6 4", "96 2") or as a bare fraction digit ("8" for the All C percent of "Compliance with consent decree", "7" for the CA percent of the same row, "5" for the CC percent of "After intermediate report, before issuance of Board decision"). Since every cell in these columns is printed to one decimal place, the decimal point has been restored; no digit was changed, added or dropped. For the same reason, zero cells in the percent columns are given as ".0" throughout, although in some columns (e.g. CD percent in the "After issuance of complaint" block, CE percent in the "After hearing opened" block) the scan shows a bare "0". Footnote markers: in the "Before issuance of complaint" block the CD "Number of cases" entries carry tiny raised markers, read here as 45^3, 101^3 and 39^4. The glyphs are only a few pixels tall; the second renders ambiguously (3 or 8) and 8 is implausible because the table's footnotes appear to run only to 5. Given that 1 is used in the column headings and 5 in the percent cells, the intended run is probably ^2, ^3, ^4 on these three values, so the first two markers should be treated as uncertain. Cells whose entire content is a raised "(5)" (a less-than marker standing in for a value) are written "^5": All C percent for "Withdrawn" and "Dismissed" in the last block, CA percent for "Compliance with stipulated decision" (third block) and "Withdrawn" (last block), and CB percent for "Dismissed" (last block). Doubtful cell: "Adjusted" in the "After hearing opened, before issuance of intermediate report" block, CA "Percent of cases closed", transcribed ".6" as it appears; 41 of 7,924 is 0.52 percent, which would round to .5, so the glyph may be a degraded 5. "All C cases" is the only column heading without the ^1 marker; the other six carry it. Row labels "Adjusted", "Withdrawn", "Dismissed" and the two "Compliance with ..." lines repeat inside successive stage blocks and are transcribed each time they are printed. Every component block checks against its stage total in all seven case-type columns.

p. 204. CROP SCOPE. This is the continuation portion of a table carried over from the preceding page: no column headings, no caption and no "—Continued" line fall inside the crop, so header_rows is empty. The body begins mid-table with "After Board order adopting intermediate report in absence of exceptions"; earlier rows of the same table are on the previous page. The footnote block printed under the rules belongs to the whole table and is reproduced here. COLUMN COUNT. 15 columns: the stub plus 7 number/percent pairs (columns 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, 13/14), counted from the vertical rules. Odd-numbered data columns are case counts, even-numbered are percents. Column totals are internally consistent across the crop: in every section the indented sub-rows sum to the heading row, both in the count columns and (after rounding) in the percent columns — e.g. 185+86+4=275, 109+53+3=165, 49+27+0=76, 26+6+0=32; 1.6+.7+(5)=2.3, 4.0+.9+.0=4.9; 107+28=135 with .9+.2=1.1; 11+4=15 with .1+(5)=.1. DROPPED DECIMAL POINTS — the main caveat. This is a 1-bit scan and the period glyph is unreliable: in the percent columns many values appear either with a visible gap where the point belongs ("1 0", "2 3", "2 5", "4 9", "1 6", "1 1", "3 1", "2 9", "4 0", "1 3") or with the point missing altogether ("9", "7", "1", "2", "3", "0"). I have restored the decimal point in these cells rather than transcribing the gap, because the point is printed and only the scan loses it. Two independent checks confirm the restored readings: (a) each pair's implied base is stable across all rows (col 1/2 base ≈ 11,900; col 3/4 ≈ 7,800; col 5/6 ≈ 3,000; col 7/8 ≈ 650; col 9/10 ≈ 200), and (b) the sub-row percents add to the heading-row percents as listed above. Cells where the printed glyph was a bare digit and I wrote a leading point: row 1 col 4 (.9); "Compliance" under row 1 col 4 (.1); "Dismissed" under row 1 col 6 (.7); "Compliance" under "After Supreme Court denied writ" cols 6 and 8 (.1, .3); "After Supreme Court denied writ" col 2 (.1). Zero percents are written ".0" throughout for the same reason — the same column shows both "0" and ".0" for identical zero counts in adjacent rows, so the bare form is dropout, not typesetting. No zero-percent value changes numerically under this choice. OTHER CELL NOTES. Cells reading "(5)" are a parenthesised raised 5, the whole cell being a reference to footnote 5 ("Less than one-tenth of 1 percent."); there is no number alongside, so no caret form is used. In the "Dismissed" row under "After circuit court decree", column 7 carries a small stray speck to the left of the digit; the value is 1 (confirmed by 19+1=20 in that column), and the speck is scan noise, not a footnote marker. FOOTNOTE TEXT. Footnote 2 appears to use a semicolon before "and 8 cases adjusted after 10(k) Board decision" where footnotes 3 and 4 use a comma; transcribed as seen, but it may be a comma thickened by the scan. Terminal periods are present on footnotes 3 and 5 and absent on 1, 2 and 4 as printed; given the same period dropout described above, those absences may be scan loss rather than the compositor's intent. The marker on the last footnote is degraded in the scan but is a 5, matching the "(5)" cells in the body.
