185 of 185 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 88. The crop ends after the Kansas row, below the double rule closing the West North Central block; the table continues on the following page(s) with the remaining divisions. A line of text is partly visible at the very bottom edge, almost certainly the standard "See footnotes at end of table" note, but it is clipped and illegible, so no footnote text is reported. Footnote marker 1 appears on the caption (excluded) and on the stub heading "Division and State"; its text is not printed within this crop. Possible misprint as printed: Nebraska and Kansas both show 16 unfair labor practice cases but different percents of total (0.7 and 0.6 respectively). Transcribed as printed, not reconciled. Nebraska's two percent-change cells are printed as a bare "0" (no sign), unlike the signed values elsewhere; transcribed as "0". Minus signs are printed as a short dash glyph; rendered here as ASCII hyphen-minus. Stray ink specks sit in the Representation "Percent of total" column beside New England (6.6 column area) and beside Iowa (120); they are not digits or footnote markers.
p. 89. This is a continuation page: the caption reads "—Continued" and the body starts mid-table at the South Atlantic division, so the Northeastern/North Central divisions and any grand total are on the preceding page, not in this crop. Footnote 1 is cut off by the bottom edge of the crop; it is transcribed only as far as the visible text ("...U. S. Department"), and the remainder (presumably "of Commerce." or similar) is not readable here. Doubtful/notable cells: - Colorado, "Percent increase or decrease compared with 1944 / Unfair labor practice cases": printed as a bare "0" with no decimal, unlike Nevada in the same column which is printed "0.0". Transcribed as printed. - Alaska, "Unfair labor practice cases / Percent of total": printed "0. 0" with the usual post-point space; read as 0.0. - Arizona, "Unfair labor practice cases / Number" is 7 and "Representation cases / Number" is 107; the small 7 is slightly faint but 7 + 107 = 114 matches the All cases entry. - California, "Representation cases / Percent of total" is printed with a dirty point that can look like a colon ("9: 7"); read as 9.7. - Pacific "All cases" is typeset "1, 157" with a space after the comma; written 1,157 per instructions. Arithmetic checks (not corrections): every division total equals the sum of its listed States, and in every State row All cases = unfair labor practice Number + representation Number. No internal inconsistency was found. Scan artifacts: stray ink specks appear in the stub column and in the heading area (a tick above "Number of cases received in 1945" and marks near "All cases"); these are not footnote markers and were ignored.
