IIIA STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF CASES. FILED, CASES CLOSED,AND ELECTIONS CONDUCTED DURING 1943CASES FILED DIMING 1943During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1943, 9,543 new cases werefiled with the Board, a larger number than ever before filed except forthe 2 peak years of 1938 and 1942. Representation cases, comprising64 percent of the total, numbered 6,140, the largest number that hasbeen received in any 1 of the Board's 8 years of activity. On theother hand, fewer unfair labor practice cases were filed in 1943 thanin 5 preceding years; 3,403 cases or 36 percent of all cases receivedduring the year. The greater emphasis being given m the Board'swork to the orderly determination of collective bargaining representatives,reflected in the large number of representation cases filed,continues a trend which began in 1941 when the number of representationcases filed nearly doubled over the previous year. Theupward trend continued in 1942 with an increase of 39 percent, andin the current year with an increase of 2.2 percent. The number ofcases received during each of the Board's 8 years of activity is shownbelow:Table 1.—Number of cases filed, 1936-43' Fiscal yearAll casesUnfair laborpracticecasesRepresentationcases1936-43 58,318 32,306 26,0121936 1,068 865 2031937 4,068 2,895 1,1731938 10,430 6,807 3,6231939 6,904 4,618 2,2381040 6,177 3,934 2,2431911 9,151 - 4, 817 4,3341942 10,977 4,907 6,0101943 9,543 3,403 6,140While the number of unfair labor practice cases declined 31.5percent, compared with the number filed in 1942, the number ofworkers employed at the plants involved in these cases increased 76percent.

1 8 Eighth Annual Report of the National Labor Relations Boardinvolved in representation cases (defined as number in unit for whichpetition is filed).Distribution of New Cases, by State'Approximately 50 percent of the cases received during the fiscalyear were concentrated in 6 States: New York, Ohio, Illinois, California,Michigan, and Pennsylvania. New York alone accounted for11.5 percent of all cases filed. Over 70 percent of all cases were filedin 12 States.A study of the increase and decline in cases filed in each Stateduring 1943, as compared with 1942, throws light on the geographicdistribution of the general decrease in unfair labor practice cases andthe increase in representation cases. While the numberof unfairlabor practice cases filed in 1943 was 31.5 percent less than the numberfiled in 1942, the number of such cases filed in 20 States, includingNew York and California, showed a more than proportionate decline.The 408 cases filed in New York represented a decline of 45.6 percent,compared with 1942; in California unfair labor practice cases dropped45.2 percent. Only 7 States and Puerto Rico experienced an increasein unfair labor practice cases during the year: Massachusetts, Florida,North Carolina, South Carolina, Nevada, Mississippi, and NorthDakota. Thus the decline in unfair labor practice cases occurredgenerally throughout the Nation. In the Pacific coast and Mountainareas the percentage decline was greater than in all other sections ofthe country; 48.5 and 46.4 percent respectively. The smallest declinein unfair labor practice cases (13.7 percent) occurred in theEast South Central States (Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, andMississippi).The changes in number of representation cases filed between 1942and 1943 were not uniform from State to State. Representationcases, as a' whole, increased 2.2 percent over 1942, but in 23 States,including the ranking States of New York, California, Michigan,and Massachusetts, the number dropped. On the other hand, unusuallylarge increases occurred in 20 States including Ohio, New -Jersey, and Kentucky. Even within given areas of the countrythere were sharp differences among the States in the rise and declineof new representation cases. Thus, while the Middle Atlantic States,as a group, registered an increase of 1.6 percent, New York, whichalone accounted for nearly half of the cases in this area, declined by10.9 percent; New Jersey increased 26.6 percent, and Pennsylvania,8.9 percent. A more consistent inciease occurred in the East NorthCentral States with a larger number of representation cases filed inIllinois Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin in 1943 than in the previousyear. However, ' there were 5.7 percent fewer cases filed in the Stateof Michigan. aon the Pacific coast, representation cases increased6.3 percent; California, where 70 percent of the cases in this groupwere filed, declined by 0.8 percent; Washington increased 31.1 percentI See table 4 in Appendix, p. 86.
