Reader’s notes

p. 45. Nine columns: the stub plus three columns under "Elections in which union participated", two under "Elections won by union", two under "Valid votes cast for union", and a tall single-heading final column "Percent of eligibles voting". Row labels for the first two rows end in leader dots that run into the abbreviation's final period ("A. F. of L______", "C. I. O ______"); I transcribed them with the closing period per the standard NLRB form, but the final period is not separable from the leaders in the scan. In the "C. I. O." row there is a small ink speck immediately left of 68.0 in the "Valid votes cast for union — Percent of total" column, and another faint speck left of 82.5 in the last column. I read both as scanning artifacts rather than footnote markers: no footnotes are printed under the table, and the values are confirmed by the table's own arithmetic (560,815/824,442 = 68.0; 824,442/999,922 = 82.5). All nine columns are internally consistent across the three rows (each percent matches the ratio of the printed counts), so no misprints are suspected. The caption was omitted as instructed. No part of the table appears cut off by the crop.
