Industrial distribution of collective bargaining elections, winner, eligible voters, and valid votes cast, during fiscal year 1950

p. 249. 15 columns: stub + Elections (Number, Percent) + Winner (A F. of L, C I O, Unaffiliated, No union, each Number/Percent) + Eligible voters (Number, Percent) + Valid votes cast (Number, Percent). PUNCTUATION RESTORED (important): this 1950 scan drops most periods and some commas. Throughout the Percent columns the decimal point is usually invisible, so the image literally reads "100 0", "37 4", "15 8", and single-digit cells such as "1", "7", "6", "4" sit in the tenths position with the leading point lost. A few cells retained the dot ("5.6", "35.8", ".9", "38.9", ".6", ".4"), confirming every percent is printed to one decimal. I have written the decimal points in every percent cell accordingly (e.g. image "100 0" -> 100.0; Ordnance's three single digits -> .1). Likewise two Number cells lost their grouping comma: Total A F. of L reads "2 101" (-> 2,101) and Fabricated metal products Eligible voters reads "33 730" (-> 33,730). If a strictly literal rendering is wanted, replace each restored "." with a space in the percent columns. "(2)" cells (Fisheries: Elections Percent, Eligible voters Percent, Valid votes cast Percent) are a raised footnote reference 2 in parentheses standing in place of a value, not a number; transcribed as printed. Footnote markers 1 (on the stub heading "Industrial group") and 2 are referenced, but no footnote text is printed within this crop, so `footnotes` is empty — the notes must sit below the table's continuation. CROP: the table is cut off after the "Fisheries" row, which begins the non-manufacturing section and continues on the following page. The Total, Manufacturing and Transportation equipment lines are set off by double rules as subtotal lines. ARITHMETIC CHECKS (all passed, so the digits are well supported): the four Winner Number columns sum to the Elections Number in every row; the 18 manufacturing detail rows plus Transportation equipment, Professional, and Miscellaneous sum to Manufacturing 3,722; Aircraft + Ship + Automotive = 147; Total 2,101 + 1,199 + 886 + 1,433 = 5,619. DOUBTFUL CELLS: three Valid votes cast Percent cells disagree with the ratio implied by their own Number by one tenth — Lumber and wood products (read 1.7; 12,835/781,382 = 1.64), Furniture and fixtures (read 1.4; 10,477/781,382 = 1.34), and Ship and boat building and repairing (read 1.3; 10,596/781,382 = 1.36). The discrepancies run in both directions, so they are more likely printed rounding inconsistencies than a systematic misread, but these three cells are the least certain in the grid. Rubber products "No union" Percent is read as 30.9 while the identical counts in the A F. of L and C I O columns are printed 31.0 (13/42 = 30.95); transcribed as printed. Automotive and other transportation equipment Eligible voters is read 12,118, with the final digit slightly broken. Nothing was computed into a cell; all arithmetic above was used only to verify the reading.

p. 250. CROP SCOPE: this image is a continuation of a table from the preceding page — no column headings, no caption and no stub heading are printed on it, so header_rows is empty. The grid has 15 columns (stub + 14), read off the vertical column rules: seven number/percent pairs, the last two pairs being large counts (9,353 / 8,017 type) each followed by a percent. DECIMAL POINTS: the scan's periods are very light and many decimal points in the percent columns did not survive, printing as a gap (e.g. "1 1", "16 7", "48 3", "50 0"). Because every one of these columns is a one-decimal percentage, I have restored the decimal point in each such cell ("1.1", "16.7", "48.3", "50.0"). The same light-period effect is why footnote 2 images as "0 1 percent" (transcribed "0.1 percent") and why footnote 1 shows a gap after "Source" where a colon is expected; the punctuation mark after "Source" is not legible, and I rendered it as a colon. LEADING-DECIMAL CELLS: cells transcribed as ".1" / ".7" (Coal mining and Crude petroleum, column 2; Nonmetallic mining, column 2; Water transportation, column 2) image as a bare "1" or "7" with no visible point, but the four Mining sub-rows' column-2 values sum to the printed Mining total 1.1, and the seven transportation sub-rows sum to the printed 8.7, which only works if these are tenths. Likewise Nonmetallic mining's last column, which images as a bare "4", is read ".4" (the four Mining sub-rows then sum to the printed 1.0). Same reasoning for "0" in column 4 of the Crude petroleum row, read ".0" to match the ".0" printed in the Coal mining row above it. ARITHMETIC CHECK (not applied to any cell): all count columns verify. Mining 60 = 13+4+4+39; Transportation 490 = 63+138+42+52+21+109+65; every row's four case-type counts sum to its total; 104,142 and 79,212 each equal the sum of their seven sub-rows; the sub-row percents in the last two columns sum to the printed 11.7 and 10.1. CELLS WHERE THE PRINTED PERCENT DIFFERS FROM THE RATIO (transcribed as printed, not corrected): Nonmetallic mining and quarrying, column 8, prints 56.5 though 22/39 = 56.4; Retail trade, column 10, prints 37.6 though 226/602 = 37.5; Highway freight transportation, column 10, prints 33.4 though 46/138 = 33.3; Water transportation, column 4, prints 42.8 and Other transportation, column 10, prints 42.8, though both ratios are 42.9; Communication, column 10, prints 8.2 though 9/109 = 8.3. These are single-tenth differences and the digits are legible, so they look like the source's own rounding/typesetting rather than misreadings, but each is the kind of cell worth spot-checking. Crude petroleum and natural gas production, column 12, prints .1 even though 392 against the roughly 890,000 column total is under 0.1 percent (compare the 311 in column 14, marked with footnote 2). Transcribed as printed; it is what makes the Mining column-12 sub-rows sum to the printed 1.1. ZEROS: Metal mining columns 9-10 and Heat, light, power, water, and sanitary services columns 7-8 print a plain "0" in the percent cell rather than ".0"; transcribed as "0". STRAY MARK: a small ink speck sits just left of "25.0" in column 8 of the Crude petroleum row. It is not aligned or sized like a raised footnote marker and I read it as a scanning artifact, so it is not transcribed. SECTION BREAKS: double horizontal rules separate Mining's sub-rows, the Construction/Wholesale/Retail/Finance block, the Transportation sub-rows and Services. They carry no labels and so produce no rows; all 18 printed body rows are present, and there are no section-label rows in this crop.
