173 of 173 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 83. Eleven columns; "No union" sits under the "Valid votes cast for" spanner, and the last column ("Percent of total votes cast for petitioner") is outside it. Dashed leader rules in body cells (e.g. the "Employer petitioner" block's Number/Percent and final percent columns) are transcribed as empty cells. Verification: every column reconciles exactly against its printed subtotals and the Total line (e.g. 208,524 + 288,381 + 124,827 + 183,742 = 805,474; the five A. F. of L. detail lines sum to 2,997 / 1,940 / 339,057 / 286,748 / 141,858 / 55,608 / 14,479 / 74,803; likewise for the C. I. O., unaffiliated-union and employer blocks; 2,997 + 2,893 + 980 + 50 = 6,920). The won/total percents also recompute to the printed figures. Doubtful cells: (1) "A. F of L. affiliate, petitioner", Percent column, is printed as "64 7" with the decimal point lost in the scan; transcribed as 64.7, which matches 1,940/2,997. (2) The raised markers on "A. F. of L. alone" and "C. I. O. alone" are small and partly broken; read as 12 and 13 respectively, following the 1–11 sequence used earlier in the stub, but the first could conceivably also read 13. (3) Periods inside "A. F. of L." and "C. I. O." in the row labels print inconsistently and some are faint or dropped in this 1-bit scan; the labels are given as read, so the punctuation varies from line to line. No footnote text is printed within the crop even though markers 1–13 appear in the stub; the footnote block is presumably below the cropped area or on the facing page.
