130 of 133 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 138. 14 columns: stub, "Cases in which formal actions taken", then 12 columns under the spanner "Formal actions taken by type of case" (Total formal actions taken; CA; CB; CC; CD split into "Jurisdictional disputes" and "Unfair labor practices"; CE; CG; CP; CA combined with CB; C combined with representation cases; Other C combinations). Dash cells: the image prints a short double-hyphen dash ("--") rather than a figure in the following cells, which I have rendered as "" per the dash-rule convention; note that the table distinguishes these from a printed "0", so the information that they were dashes is lost in the grid. The dashed cells are: row "10(k) notices of hearings issued" — CA, CB, CC, Unfair labor practices, CE, CG, CP, CA combined with CB, C combined with representation cases, Other C combinations (all columns except "Cases in which...", "Total formal actions taken" and "Jurisdictional disputes"); row "Complaints issued" — Jurisdictional disputes; row "Backpay specifications issued" — Jurisdictional disputes. Arithmetic cross-checks all pass as printed (e.g. 461+38+9+16+1+0+0+1+4+22+3 = 555 for "Decisions and orders by the Board, total"; 1,767+162+38+3+1+3+7+20+50+16 = 2,067 for "Complaints issued"; the Board's nine detail lines sum to 924 and 555), which corroborates the column alignment. No suspected misprints. The footnote line at the very bottom is clipped by the crop — only the upper portion of the letters is visible — but it reads as the standard "1 See Glossary of terms for definitions."; the terminal period is inferred. The body of the table appears to be cut off by the bottom of the page/crop: the "Contested:" block under "Decisions and orders by the Board, total" ends at "Backpay decisions" with no further Board subheads or subsequent sections (e.g. court-related actions), so the table very likely continues on the following page. The caption's superscript 1 marker belongs to the caption, which is excluded.
