V. COMPLAINT CASES 33
Decisions issued and cases heard.—The Board issued decisions in
187 complaint cases during the fiscal year 1937-38, or 2.3 percent of
the 8,213 complaint cases on docket during the year.
Hearings were conducted by trial examiners designated by the
Chief Trial Examiner in 723 cases, some of which were settled, dismissed,
or withdrawn during or after the hearing. These 723 cases
represent 8.8 percent of all cases on docket.
Trial examiners issued intermediate reports in 418 cases during
the fiscal year, and exceptions to the intermediate reports were filed
by the interested parties in 364 cases which were thereupon transferred
to the Board for further action. In 31 cases compliance with
the intermediate report was not secured within the time limit set by
the Board and these cases were likewise transferred to the Board.
In 12 cases there was compliance with the recommendations of the
trial examiner.
During the entire year 516 complaint cases were transferred to the
Board. This total includes the cases transferred either upon the
filing of exceptions to the intermediate report or upon the failure
of the respondents to comply with the recommendations contained
in the intermediate report. In addition, 121 cases were transferred
upon the issuance of Board orders to that effect.
A regional breakdown of the number of cases heard, intermediate
reports issued, cases transferred to the Board, and cases decided by
