Complaint cases pending as of June 30, .1938.-On June 30, 1938,
there were pending before the Board 2,519 cases, or 30.7 percent of
all complaint cases on docket during the preceding 12 months,
involving 696,464 workers.
Included in this group were 1,732 cases, or approximately 69 percent
of all cases pending, which had not entered into the formal hearing
stage. Many of these cases were in the process of investigation,
a large proportion of which will probably result in final disposition
without recourse to formal proceedings. Of the remaining 787 cases,
232, or about 9 percent, were awaiting the issuance of an intermediate
report by the trial examiners, 365 cases were awaiting the decision
of the Board, and 190 cases were awaiting compliance with
Board decisions. The last two categories represented approximately
14 percent and 8 percent of all pending cases, respectively.
Table IX shows a regional breakdown of the disposition of complaint
cases.
