Analysis of Methods of Disposition of Unfair Labor Practice Cases Closed, Fiscal Year 1973

p. 231. The crop is cut off at the bottom: the table body ends mid-table after "Board decision" (the "Compliance with" block and any further method sections continue on the following page), and no footnote block is printed on this image, so `footnotes` is empty. The caption carries a raised 1 footnote marker, but the caption itself is excluded per instructions. Decimal points: this is a 1-bit scan in which many of the small decimal points in the percent columns failed to print, so cells such as the CB "Total number of cases closed" percent read visually as "100 0", "43 9", "0 2", "60 7", etc. Every percent column in this table is typeset to one decimal place, and the surviving points in neighbouring cells of the same column confirm the format, so I have written the decimal point in every percent cell. No digits were added, dropped or recomputed. Blank/rule cells: the "Percent of total method" cell on the "Total number of cases closed" row holds a dash rule, and many CD/CE/CP percent cells beside a printed 0 hold a dash rule rather than a value; all of these are "". CD "Number" on the "Before issuance of complaint" row holds no value, only a parenthesised raised 2 standing in for the figure; I transcribed it as "(^2)" to keep both the printed parentheses and the footnote marker. The referenced footnote 2 is not on this crop. Stray scanner specks: a small dot sits just left of "0.6" in the All C "Percent of total closed" cell of the second "After issuance of complaint, before opening of hearing" row (under Formal settlement), and a short tilde-like mark sits just left of "0.0" in the All C "Percent of total method" cell of the "Stipulated decision" row under "After hearing opened". I read both as printing artifacts and not as part of the values. "Compliance with" is printed as a hanging label completed by its indented sub-rows ("Administrative law judge's decision", "Board decision"); I kept its wording exactly as printed.

p. 232. CONTINUATION PAGE: the crop shows only the lower portion of the table, so no column headings are printed and `header_rows` is empty. The grid has 16 columns: stub + 15 data columns, read off the vertical rules and confirmed row by row (e.g. "Withdrawal" has exactly 15 values). The structure, inferred from the arithmetic (9,421 = 6,204 + 2,311 + 666 + 7 + 26 + 207), is an all-cases block of 3 columns (number; percent of all cases closed; percent within the method-of-disposition group) followed by six 2-column case-type blocks (number, percent each) — presumably CA, CB, CC, CD, CE, CP, but those headings are on the previous page and are NOT transcribed here. The first four rows ("Adopting administrative law judge's decision (no exceptions filed)", "Contested", "Circuit court of appeals decree", "Supreme Court action") are indented sub-rows whose parent section heading is cut off above the crop. DROPPED PERIODS: this is a 1-bit scan in which many printed periods failed to render, so percent values frequently appear as e.g. "34 9", "0 6", "46 8". Every value in the percent columns carries exactly one decimal place (confirmed by the neighbours that did render, e.g. "100.0", "34.5", "41.4"), so I restored the decimal point in those cells rather than writing a digit-space-digit string. No digits were altered, computed or rounded. The same dropped-period artifact affects the footnote text; I restored the sentence periods after "terms", "Sec" and "Act". DOUBTFUL CELLS: - "After administrative law judge's decision, before Board decision" (Withdrawal block), CB-percent column (col 7): I read "0.0", but there are dash-like marks immediately to its left and the CB count in that row is 0, which elsewhere in this table is paired with a dash rule (blank). This cell is the single least certain value on the page; it may be a dash rule rather than "0.0". - Same row, col 3 ("percent within group"): the digit after the decimal is blotted; I read "0.1". - "Dismissal" row, CD-number column: a small ink speck sits just above and left of the "3". I read it as dirt, not a footnote marker, and transcribed "3". - "10(k) actions" row, CD-number column: "641" is followed by a stray period-sized speck; transcribed as "641". - "By circuit court of appeals decree", last column: a stray ")"-like mark sits in the dash rule; transcribed as "" (blank). FOOTNOTE MARKERS IN CELLS: the CD-number cell of both "Before issuance of complaint" rows holds only a raised 2 in parentheses in place of a value; I wrote "(^2)" to preserve the raised digit. The footnote-1 marker belongs to the table caption/stub on the previous page and so does not appear in any cell here. ARITHMETIC AS PRINTED (not corrected): under "Dismissal", the sub-rows 8,888 + 14 + 4 + 3 + 389 = 9,298, which is 49 short of the printed "Dismissal" total of 9,347; the difference corresponds to rows carried on the previous page or to a misprint. Likewise the CA column of that block sums to 6,332 against a printed 6,372. Transcribed exactly as printed.
