Reader’s notes

p. 260. Grid is 13 columns: stub plus four three-column panels (Total—all courts, In courts of appeals, In district courts, In bankruptcy courts), each with "Number decided", "Upholding Board position", "Contrary to Board position". Suspected misprint, transcribed as printed: the rows "Action by other parties" and "To restrain NLRB from" do not reconcile with the rest of the table in columns 3 through 9. As printed, "Action by other parties" reads 31, 27, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 0, 5, 5, 0 and "To restrain NLRB from" reads 7, 7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0. But "Totals—all types" minus "NLRB-initiated actions or interventions" gives 31, 27, 4, 11, 8, 3, 15, 14, 1, 5, 5, 0 for "Action by other parties", and the two sub-rows "Proceeding in R case" plus "Proceeding in unfair labor practice case" sum to 7, 7, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2, 0, 5, 5, 0 for "To restrain NLRB from". In other words, the figures printed in columns 4 through 12 of the "Action by other parties" line are exactly the subtotal that belongs on the "To restrain NLRB from" line, and the "To restrain NLRB from" line carries zeros there instead. This looks like a typesetting error in the source, not a reading error, but a user should treat those two rows' columns 4-12 as doubtful. Everything else reconciles exactly: the six sub-rows under "To compel NLRB to" sum to that row in all twelve columns, and "NLRB-initiated actions or interventions" equals its two sub-rows. Row 4's label is printed "To prevent conflict between NLRA and 301 suite"; "suite" is almost certainly a misprint for "suits", but it is transcribed as printed. The scan is a worn letterpress impression in which many dotted i's have lost their dots (e.g. "litigation", "determination" print as "lıtıgatıon", "determınatıon"); these are rendered as normal letters. In the "Totals—all types" row the figure in the Total—all courts "Upholding Board position" column is a slightly broken 31, read with confidence as 31 since it reconciles with 35 minus 4. No caption, running head or page number is included; the crop shows the full table body and the single footnote.
