Reader’s notes
p. 284. Ten columns: the stub plus three court groups (Total—all courts, In courts of appeals, In district courts), each with "Number decided", "Upholding Board position" and "Contrary to Board position". "Number decided" is a tall heading spanning the third and fourth heading levels, so it is repeated in both. No footnotes are printed under the table. "subpena" in "To enforce subpena" is the spelling as printed. The label "Other" occurs three times (under "To restrain NLRB from", under "To compel NLRB to", and as the final row under "Action by other parties"); each is transcribed as printed. All printed subtotals and totals are internally consistent with their component rows, and no cell was doubtful or illegible.
