  1. 1 A single case may include allegations of violations of more than one subsection of the Act. Therefore, the total of the various allegations is greater than the total number of cases.
  2. 2 Sec. 8(a)(1) is a general provision forbidding any type of employer interference with the rights of the employees guaranteed by the Act, and therefore is included in all charges of employer unfair labor practices.

0 of 76 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.

Reader’s notes

p. 226. Single-panel table, three columns (stub, number of cases, percent). The scan is degraded and most periods have dropped out of the printing: every value in the percent column appears as e.g. "100 0", "14 7", "0 9" with a blank where the decimal point sits. Since this column is a one-decimal percentage series, I have written them with decimal points (100.0, 14.7, 0.9, etc.); the digits themselves are legible and unambiguous. For the same reason the abbreviation periods in the label lines are not resolvable, so "A Charges filed against employers under sec 8(a)", "B Charges filed against unions under sec 8(b)" and "Subsections of Sec 8(a)/8(b)" are given without the periods that the original typesetting almost certainly had ("A." / "sec." / "Sec."); I did not insert characters I could not see. In the ")(" sequences of the row labels the low-resolution render often collapses to something that looks like an "X" (e.g. "8(bX1X2)"); these are transcribed as the intended ")(", e.g. "8(b)(1)(2)". Footnote markers are present in the body — superscript 1 on both "Recapitulation" lines and superscript 2 on the "8(a)(1)" line of the first Recapitulation block — but the footnote texts themselves fall below the bottom rule and are cut off by this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. The two label-only lines "Subsections of Sec 8(a)" and "Subsections of Sec 8(b)" each sit on their own printed line above the indented "Total cases" row and are kept as separate value-less rows. No arithmetic was checked or corrected; note that the recapitulation percentages sum to well over 100 by design, since a case can show several allegations.

p. 227. Three columns: stub, "Number of cases showing specific allegations", "Percent of total cases". This crop is a continuation page (panels A and B of the table are on the preceding page), so the lettered sections begin at B1. The scan is a coarse 1-bit image in which small periods are largely lost: every percent figure prints as digits separated by a gap (e.g. "100 0", "7 2", "66 8"). These are one-decimal percentages and have been transcribed with the decimal point restored ("100.0", "7.2", "66.8"). For the same reason the periods in the section labels ("B1.", "B2.", "C.", "D.", "sec.") and in the footnote sentences are faint or invisible on the image; they have been written in their conventional positions. Row "8(b)(4)(A)(B)(C)", Percent column: the glyph reads as "0 4" (i.e. 0.4), but 5 of 1,504 is 0.33 percent, so either the print is 0.3 and the scan has degraded the 3, or the printed value is a misprint. Transcribed as printed: 0.4. All other percentages are consistent with the counts, and both recapitulation blocks reconcile with the detail lines above them. Row "Against unions and employers", Percent column: an em dash is printed (no percentage), transcribed as an empty cell; its count is a printed zero. Footnote 2 is printed under the table on this page but its marker appears only on the portion of the table carried on the previous page; no cell on this crop carries a "2" marker.
