Reader’s notes

p. 281. Eight columns: stub, Total, and six filing-party columns under the spanner "Identification of filing party". The stub has no printed heading, and "Total" is a tall heading spanning both heading levels. The table is set in six sections (All cases; Unfair labor practice cases; Representation cases; Union-shop deauthorization cases; Amendment of certification cases; Unit clarification cases); each section line is centred across the field columns and carries no values, so its non-stub cells are "". In the "Union-shop deauthorization cases" section all columns except Total and Individuals are filled with dash rules (------), transcribed as "". Scan quality: the typeface renders the "i" in several words (e.g. "Pending", "unions", "Unfair", "practice", "Opinion", "definitions") with a faint or missing dot, and the "o" of "October" in the Union-shop section's first row label looks like "Octcber"; these are scanner artifacts of ordinary words, transcribed with the intended spelling. Footnote 1 ends without a period, as printed. All arithmetic checks pass: in every row the six filing-party cells sum to the printed Total, and for each of the five stub lines the five case-type sections sum to the "All cases" figure. No suspected misprints.
