155 of 158 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 220. 13 columns: stub, "Cases in which formal actions taken", "Total formal actions taken", then nine case-type columns under "Formal actions taken by type of case" (CD split into "Jurisdictional disputes" and "Unfair labor practices"). Handwritten annotation: in the "10(k) notices of hearings issued" row there is a penciled/inked "141" in the CP column, in a cursive hand clearly different from the printed type. It is not a printed value (the row's printed total 141 is fully accounted for by the 141 under CD "Jurisdictional disputes"), so the CP cell is transcribed as "". Flagging it in case a reviewer wants to look. Dash rules ("-------") stand in for not-applicable cells throughout and are transcribed as ""; printed zeros are kept as 0. Several of those zeros (e.g. "Backpay specifications issued" under CD "Unfair labor practices" and under CE, and "Complaints issued" under CE) carry small stray scan ticks beside them; these are speckle, not footnote markers. Section lines "Upon consent of parties:", "Adopting administrative law judge's decisions (no exceptions filed)" and "Contested:" carry labels only, with no values. The second of these is hyphenated across lines in print ("de-cisions") and is rejoined here. Arithmetic check: every row's type-of-case cells sum to its printed "Total formal actions taken", and the three "total" rows equal the sum of their sub-rows in both the "Cases in which" and "Total" columns. No discrepancies found. The crop ends with the "Backpay decisions" row and the footnote below the bottom rule; nothing appears cut off, though the table may continue on a following page.
