Industrial distribution of union-shop authorization polls, outcome, eligible voters, and valid votes cast, during fiscal year 1950

p. 253. Decimal points in the percent columns: the scan is 1-bit and drops a large share of the periods, so most percent cells print on the page image as e.g. "21 3", "65 6", "50 0" (digits separated by a gap where the point belongs) and leading-point values print as a bare digit, e.g. "2" for ".2" and "9" for ".9". The periods are present in the original typesetting (many survive the scan: "100.0", "57.8", "7.8", "2.4", "1.3", "3.0", "67.7"), so I have restored the point in every percent cell, since the one-decimal column format and the row arithmetic fix its position unambiguously. No digits were altered. Every row's four Winner numbers sum exactly to its Polls Number, and the four Winner percents sum to 100.0, which confirms the column assignment of each value. Doubtful cells: (1) "Ship and boat building and repairing", Polls Percent — I read the printed glyph as a 4 (giving ".4"), but 26 of 5,591 polls is 0.465 percent, which should round to ".5" in a table that otherwise rounds rather than truncates (732/5,591 = 13.09 is printed 13.1); the glyph is small and I could be misreading a 5, or the source may misprint. (2) "Tobacco manufacturers", No union Percent — printed as a zero whose leading period I cannot see; I have written ".0" to match the ".0" printed in the adjacent Unaffiliated unions Percent cell of the same row and in the "Ship and boat building and repairing" row. (3) "Tobacco manufacturers", Eligible voters Percent — printed as a bare "2"; written ".2" (2,509 of 1,072,917 = 0.23 percent). The stub heading carries a raised 1 ("Industrial group 1"), but no footnote text is printed on this crop; the body is cut off by the bottom edge of the crop immediately after "Miscellaneous manufacturing", so the remainder of the table (presumably the nonmanufacturing groups) and the footnote text continue beyond this image. Indentation is not reproduced in the stub: "Manufacturing" is a section total under "Total", the food-through-electrical-machinery rows are its components, "Transportation equipment" is a subtotal whose components are the three indented rows that follow it (21 + 26 + 94 = 141), and "Professional, scientific, and controlling instruments" and "Miscellaneous manufacturing" return to the manufacturing-component level.

p. 254. Crop shows only the lower portion of a table continued from the preceding page: no column headings are printed on this image, so header_rows is empty. The grid is 15 columns: stub plus seven number/percent pairs (columns 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10 are case counts and percents; columns 11-12 and 13-14 are employee counts and percents). Decimal points: the scan drops the period in many decimal numbers, so cells such as "50 0", "8 7", "1 0" and bare "5"/"1"/"2" in the percent columns appear with a gap or with no visible point. All of these are decimal fractions in the printed table, and I have restored the points (50.0, 8.7, 1.0, .5, .1, .2). I verified the restoration arithmetically throughout: every percent column reproduces its ratio to the base column, and every detail block sums to its industry-group line (e.g. 5+4+1+24=34 and 1,122+116+7+964=2,209 for Mining; the seven transportation detail rows sum to 618, 459, 39, 89, 31, 126,931 and 100,503). The same dropout affects footnote 1 ("U S." for "U. S.", and the separator after "Source", which I have rendered as a colon) and footnote 2 ("0 1 percent" for "0.1 percent"). Footnote-reference cells: where a percent is too small to print, the table carries a raised parenthesised 2 in place of a value. I have transcribed these as "(^2)" (Coal mining columns 12 and 14; Crude petroleum columns 2, 12 and 14). The superscript marker in the footnote line itself renders ambiguously as 2 or 3 at this resolution, but it must be 2 given the in-table references, and I have written it as 2. Row-label wrapping: "Transportation, communication, and other public utilities" is printed on two lines and joined here. No hyphenated breaks needed repair except "natural-gas", whose hyphen is a real hyphen in the printed term, not a line break. The row-group rules (double rules above Construction, above Transportation and above Services) are structural only and are not transcribed as rows.
