Reader’s notes

p. 31. The crop shows a two-column list (stub plus one unlabeled figure column); no column headings are printed on this image, so header_rows is empty. A partial line of running text at the very top, cut off by the crop (reads approximately "...he contested decisions follow:"), is the lead-in sentence and was not transcribed. A short horizontal rule is printed in the figure column between 93 and 458 (above "Representation decisions total"); it is a typographic subtotal rule, not a row, and was omitted. Arithmetic as printed: 849 + 22 + 32 + 93 = 996, matching the "Unfair labor practice decisions" line, but 996 + 458 = 1,454, which is 9 less than the printed "Total contested Board decisions" of 1,463; the values are transcribed exactly as printed and not corrected. A faint ink mark at the lower left edge suggests the page continues below the crop, so further rows of this list may be cut off.

p. 32. The crop is a continuation fragment: no column headings are printed on this image, so header_rows is empty. The table has two printed columns (row label stub plus a single unlabeled figure column). The first row label wraps onto two printed lines ("After transfer by regional directors for" / "initial decisions") and has been joined into one label. Immediately below the last row ("Union deauthorization decisions") the crop cuts through a further line of text — only the top few pixels of the letterforms survive, enough to see it is a running line of prose (likely a footnote beginning roughly "Not all of the 1,... decisions which were ..."), but it is not legible enough to transcribe, so it is omitted from footnotes. The bottom of the table/footnote block is therefore truncated by the crop.
