87 of 87 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 329. Ten columns: stub plus three column groups (Total—all courts, In courts of appeals, In district courts), each with "Number decided" and a two-column "Court determination" pair. No footnotes are printed under the table. Indentation in the stub conveys hierarchy that the flat grid cannot: "NLRB-initiated actions or interventions" and "Action by other parties" are the two top-level categories under "Totals—all types"; the four rows "To enforce subpena" through "To dissolve bankruptcy stay" belong to the former; "To restrain NLRB from", "To compel NLRB to" and the final "Other" (10, 10, 0, 10, 10, 0, 0, 0, 0) belong to the latter; the four rows beginning "Proceeding in R case" are sub-items of "To restrain NLRB from", and the five rows beginning "Issue complaint" are sub-items of "To compel NLRB to". The label "Other" therefore appears three times at three different levels (rows 12, 18 and 19). "subpena" in "To enforce subpena" is spelled that way in the original. All printed totals cross-check: 33 + 45 = 78; 3 + 0 + 1 + 29 = 33; 13 + 22 + 10 = 45; 7 + 6 + 0 + 0 = 13; 6 + 0 + 0 + 16 + 0 = 22; and each "Number decided" equals the sum of its two determination columns. One cosmetic scan artifact: in the "To enforce subpena" row, the "In district courts / Upholding Board position" cell has a small stray tick to the left of the 0; the value is 0. Throughout the scan the dots over lowercase "i" are faint or missing (e.g. "lıtıgatıon"); this is a scanning artifact and the words are transcribed normally.
