Reader’s notes
p. 257. Twelve columns: stub, then under "Fiscal Year 2004" five "Number of proceedings^1" columns (Total; vs. employers only; vs. unions only; vs. both employers and unions; Board dismissal^2) and four "Percentages" columns (the same four breakdowns without a Total), then the cumulative pair "Number" and "Percent" under the spanner printed on two lines as "July 5, 1936 / Sept. 30, 2004" (joined here). The crop is cut off below the last body row: footnote markers 1 (Number of proceedings), 2 (Board dismissal) and 3 (Proceedings decided by U.S. Supreme Court) appear in the table, but none of the footnote texts are visible on this image, so `footnotes` is empty. Cells printed as a short double dash ("--", the report's "not applicable/none" symbol, distinct from a printed 0) are transcribed literally as "--" rather than blanked, since they are a meaningful value and not a leader/dash rule. Cumulative "Number" values other than 11,754 are printed without digit-grouping commas (7769, 1545, 1590) exactly as shown. Arithmetic as printed, not corrected: in the cumulative column the "On proceedings for review and/or enforcement" components (7769+1545+588+262+1590) sum to 11,754, consistent; but the FY2004 row "Proceedings decided by U.S. courts of appeals and other courts" (74) does not equal 62 + 12 (on review/enforcement plus petitions for contempt) = 74 — that one does reconcile, while the "Total Court Orders" line (40) exceeds the sum of its four indented components (29+3+4+4 = 40), which also reconciles. No misprints detected.
