Reader’s notes

p. 278. Eight printed columns: stub (no printed heading), "Total" (spans both heading levels), and six columns under the spanner "Identification of filing party". The six section lines ("All cases", "Unfair labor practice cases^2", "Representation cases^3", "Union-shop deauthorization cases", "Amendment of certification cases", "Unit clarification cases") are printed centred across the data area with no values, so their value cells are empty. In the "Union-shop deauthorization cases" block every cell except Total and Individuals holds a dash rule (------), transcribed as "". All row and column sums in the image check out (each row's six filing-party figures add to its Total, and the five case-type blocks add to "All cases"), so no misprints are suspected. In footnote 1 the sentence-ending periods after "terms" and "not included" are faint/broken in the scan; they are rendered here as periods on the strength of the sentence structure. Elsewhere the scan drops many thousands-separator commas and periods (e.g. "1 526", "21 934", "11 819"); these have been normalized back to commas per instructions, with the digits transcribed as seen. Footnote marker 1 attached to the caption is omitted with the caption.
