Individuals filed. 476 charges and employers filed 73 petitions (table 12). Unions affiliated with the A. F. of L. filed the largest number of both types of Board cases. They filed 2,245 charges and 2,016 petitions. Unions affiliated with the C. I. 0. filed 1,972 charges and 1,768 petitions. Unaffiliated unions filed 122 charges and 473 petitions (tables 13 and 14).

There were 806,846 workers involved in cases filed by unions affiliated with the A. F. of L., 157,003 workers involved in cases filed by unaffiliated unions, 236,022 workers involved in charges filed by individuals, and 6,974 workers involved in petitions filed by employers (table 12). Both the unfair labor practice cases and the representation cases brought to the Board by unions affiliated with the C. I. 0. involved the greatest number of workers. There were 697,917 workers involved in unfair labor practice cases filed by unions affiliated with the C. I. 0., 478,208 workers involved in cases of this type filed by unions affiliated with the A. F. of L., and 51,190 workers involved in cases of this type filed by unions affiliated with neither of these organizations (table 13).

Character of charges received— (table 6).—In the greatest number of the unfair labor practice cases filed with the Board, 2,182, or 45 percent of the total of 4,817, there were allegations of violation of subsections 1 and 3 of section 8 of the act—that is, general allegations of interference and specific allegations of discrimination in regard to hire and tenure of employntent. That represent&I a slight decrease in proportion as compared with 1940, when allegations of this character were made in 1,971 cases or 50 percent of the 3,934 unfair labor practice cases filed. In 952 cases, or about 20 percent of the unfair labor practice cases filed in 1941, there were allegations of violation of subsections 1 and 5 of section 8 of the act—that is ' general allegations of interference and specific allegations of refusal to bargain collectively. Allegations of this character were made in 697 cases, or about 20 percent of the 3,934, filed last year. * • In 493 cases, or about 10 percent of the total filed in 1941, there were allegations of violation of subsections 1, 3, and 5 of section 8 of the act. In 1940, allegations of this character were made in 443 cases, or 11 percent of the 3,934 cases filed.

14 SIXTH ANNEAL REPORT OP NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOA111) allegations occurred in 330 cases, or 8 percent of the cases filed in 1940. In 335 cases, or about 7 percent of the total filed in-1941, there were allegations of violation of subsections 1 and 2 of section 8 of the act—that is, general allegations of interference and specific allegations of domination and interference with the formation or administration of a labor organization. There seems to have been an increase in the frequency of occurrence of this type of case compared with 1940. III that year, allegations of this character were made in 176 cases, or less than 5 percent of the unfair labor practice cases filed with the Board. CASES CLOSED, 1941 Stage of elosing.—The regional offices or the Board closed 8,396 cases, involving 2,082,036 workers, in the fiscal year 1941. That number constituted 70 percent of all cases on the Board's docket during the year (table 7). The regional offices are able to close the great majority of these in an informal stage. On receiving a charge or petition, the regional office undertakes an investigation. In a large number of cases, compliance with the act is effected or a representation dispute resolved by agreement between the parties. In other cases, when investigation discloses that the charge or petition is without merit, the regional director persuades the filing party to withdraw the charge or petition or, if the filing party is unwilling to withdraw, dismisses it. In 1941, 85 percent of the cases closed were closed in regional offices before the issuance of a complaint in an unfair labor practice case or a notice of hearing in a representation case. This represented an increase over 1940 when 83 percent of closed cases were closed at that stage (table 10). In 13 percent of all cases closed in 1941, decisions had been issued. In 3 percent, court action had been taken. The corresponding figures for 1940 were 11 percent and 3 percent. In 8 percent of the unfair labor practice cases closed in 1941 decisions had been issued ; in 5- percent, court action had been taken. In 1940, the corresponding figures were over 4 percent and slightly under 5 percent. The figures for representation cases closed after decision were 19 percent in 1941 and 23 percent in 1940 (table 10). Method of closing.—About 50 percent of all cases closed in 1941— 4,211 of a total of 8,396—were closed by agreement between the parties involved. In 1940, only 39 percent of closed cases-2,888 of a total of 7,351 were so disposed of. In 4,097 cases, over 90 percent of the 4,211 cases settled, or 49 percent of the 8,396 cases closed in the year, the agreement was arrived at before any formal action was taken (tables 7 and 11). Forty-six percent of all unfair labor practice cases closed, or 2,161 of a total of 4,698 cases, and 55 percent of the representation cases closed, or 2,050 of a total of 3,698 cases, were closed by agreement between the parties. Both of these figures represented increases over 1940 when only 40 percent of all unfair labor practice cases closed, 1,877 of a total of 4,664 cases, and 38 percent' of all representation
