182 of 182 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 93. The crop ends after the West South Central panel: the table continues on the following page (Mountain and Pacific divisions and any grand-total line are not on this image). Below the last rule a partial line "See footnote[s] ..." together with the page number 87 is clipped by the bottom edge; no footnote text is legible, so `footnotes` is empty. Footnote marker 1 is attached to the caption, which is excluded per instructions. Stub heading marker: the raised character after "Division and State" is faint and smudged; it reads plausibly as 2 (the second marker in the table, after the caption's 1) but could be a 3. Transcribed as "Division and State^2". Minus signs are printed as en-dash-like rules; transcribed as ASCII hyphen-minus. Percent cells below 1.0 are printed without a leading zero (".3", ".6") and are kept that way. "New Hampshire" and "West Virginia" show a printed bare "0" (not blank) in the unfair-labor-practice percent-change column. Internal arithmetic checks pass throughout: in every row All cases = unfair labor practice Number + representation Number, and each division total equals the sum of its listed States, which supports the digit readings and column placement.
p. 94. Continuation page of Table 4 (the caption carries "—Continued"); the column headings are reprinted here, so they are transcribed. The table has 8 columns: stub, then five under "Number of cases received in 1943" (All cases; Unfair labor practice cases Number and Percent of total; Representation cases Number and Percent of total), then two under "Percent increase or decrease compared with 1942". Footnote markers: the superscript 2 and 3 glyphs are nearly identical in this scan. The stub heading's marker is read as 2 (it points to the Bureau of the Census grouping note), and the parenthesized markers in the body are read as 3 ("Less than 0.1 percent"). The footnote list under the table prints markers that look like 1, 3, 3; they are numbered 1, 2, 3 here on the basis of their order and content. Cells printed as a parenthesized raised numeral — Wyoming and Utah under "Unfair labor practice cases / Percent of total", and Alaska and Hawaii under "Representation cases / Percent of total" — are transcribed as "(3)", i.e. a reference to footnote 3 standing in place of a value, not a numeric 3. Doubtful cells: Utah, "Representation cases / Percent of total" is printed ".3." with an extra dot after the 3; read as ".3" (the trailing mark appears to be a stray speck or stray leader dot). Oregon, "Unfair labor practice cases / Number" is printed "26." with a trailing dot; read as "26". Alaska, "Percent increase or decrease / Unfair labor practice cases" is printed as a right-aligned ". 0" and is transcribed ".0" (i.e. zero change); it could conceivably be a bare "0", but a leading decimal point is visible. Wyoming's representation cases show a printed zero in both the Number and the Percent of total columns, kept as "0". Minus signs printed as long dashes are transcribed as "-". Typesetting spaces after decimal points and commas (e.g. "2. 4", "+966. 7") have been closed up. No arithmetic was checked, computed or corrected; all values are as printed.
