p. 305. Ten columns: stub plus three groups of three (Total—all courts, In courts of appeals, In district courts), each group being Number decided / Upholding Board position / Contrary to Board position. The stub heading "Type of litigation" spans all four heading levels and is repeated in each. Indentation in the stub marks hierarchy: "To enforce subpena", "To defend Board's jurisdiction" and "To prevent conflict between NLRA and Bankruptcy Code" are breakdowns of "NLRB-initiated actions or interventions"; "To review non-final orders", "To restrain NLRB from" and "To compel NLRB to" are breakdowns of "Action by other parties"; "Proceeding in R case" / "Proceeding in unfair labor practice case" sit under "To restrain NLRB from"; "Issue complaint" / "Take action in R Case" / "Comply with Freedom of Information Act" / "Other" sit under "To compel NLRB to". All of these carry values, so none is a label-only section line. "subpena" is spelled that way in the source. "Take action in R Case" has a capital C on "Case" as printed, unlike "Proceeding in R case". The raised 1 after "Freedom of Information Act" is the footnote marker. All printed totals and subtotals are internally consistent (column sums check out in every group); no suspected misprints. No part of the table appears cut off by the crop.
