149 of 152 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 165. 13 columns: stub, \"Cases in which formal actions taken\", then 11 columns under the spanner \"Formal actions taken by type of case\" (the CD spanner covers two sub-columns, \"Jurisdictional dispute\" and \"Unfair labor practices\"). Dash rules (\"----------\") are printed as not-applicable markers and are transcribed as \"\": the Jurisdictional-dispute column in every row except \"10(k) notices of hearings issued\", \"Hearings completed, total\", \"Initial ULP hearings\", \"Decisions and orders by the Board, total\" and the contested \"Initial ULP decisions\"; and, in the \"10(k) notices of hearings issued\" row, the CA/CB/CC columns (one continuous rule) and the Unfair-labor-practices column. In that same 10(k) row the CE, CP, \"CA combined with CB\", \"C combined with representation cases\" and \"Other C combinations\" cells are genuinely blank (no rule printed). Arithmetic cross-check (for reading confidence only; nothing was altered): every row's eleven type-of-case cells sum exactly to its printed \"Total formal actions taken\" value, and the component rows sum to each printed total (hearings 1,090+22+11=1,123; trial examiner decisions 930+24+11=965; Board decisions 121+1+261+6+788+24+26+12=1,239). No discrepancies found. The scan is a 1-bit halftone in which 5, 6 and 8 are easily confused; the sum checks above resolved every such cell, including \"1,526\"/\"1,090\" (Initial ULP hearings) and the 50/55/65 values in the \"Hearings completed, total\" and \"Initial ULP hearings\" rows. The footnote marker on the caption is omitted with the caption itself; the footnote text printed under the table is retained.
