Record of final offer ballots conducted by N. L. R. B. under National Emergencies Provision of L. M. R. A., sec. 209 (b), August 22, 1947–June 30, 1952

p. 314. The crop cuts the table off after the "Cargo Repairmen" row; the table continues on the following page and no footnote block is visible on this image, so `footnotes` is empty even though footnote markers 1, 2 and 3 are referenced in the body. Standalone raised footnote references used in place of a value are transcribed as the parenthesised cell content: "(1)" in the Eligible voters column for the 2-X-1 Atlantic and Gulf Coast row and for the Alaska Steamship row, and "(3)" in the Votes in favor column for the 20-X-1 Waterfront Employers row (that row's Votes against cell is blank, not a dash rule). The only marker attached to a value is the raised 2 on the 8-X-1 election date, written "Aug. 28-Sept. 8, 1948^2". This page's printing drops many periods after abbreviations, leaving a visible gap instead (e.g. "Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Corp , Oak Ridge", "Nicholson Transit Co , Johnson Transportation Co ;", "et al", "Aug 30-31, 1948", "Aug 31-Oct. 11, 1948", "Nov 5, 1948"). These are transcribed as they appear rather than normalised; a reader should assume the periods were intended. Election-date "do" (ditto) entries are printed as "----do----" between leader dots; they are transcribed as "do". Row labels in the Companies column are hierarchically indented on the page (e.g. "Offshore"/"Coastwise" sit under the preceding "Employees represented by ..." line); the indentation is not preserved in the cell text. Column rules confirm six printed columns. The Case No. stub carries values only on the section-number lines (I, II, III) and the case-number lines (10-X-1, 2-X-1, 8-X-1, 20-X-1, 2-X-2); all other stub cells are blank as printed.

p. 315. This crop continues a table from the preceding page: no column headings are printed on it, so header_rows is empty. Six printed columns were counted from the column rules: (0) the narrow leftmost case-number column holding "IV", "19-X-1", "20-X-2"; (1) the indented name/label column; (2) a date column holding "do" ditto entries, "Nov. 20, 1951" and "(1)"; and (3)-(5) three unlabelled numeric columns (their headings are on the earlier page). Footnote 2 is defined under the table but no marker 2 appears within this crop; footnote 3 likewise has no visible marker here. In the "17 Companies" row, cells in the date column and the first numeric column each hold a raised "(1)" footnote reference, and the second and third numeric columns hold dash rules, transcribed as "". In the Hampton Roads "Checkers" row, the second numeric column is printed as ". 3"; the leading dot appears to be a stray speck or a leader-dot artifact and the value is transcribed as 3. Terminal punctuation of the two section lines "Steamship Trade Association of Baltimore, Inc." and "Hampton Roads Maritime Association, Inc." is indistinct; by parallel with "Philadelphia Marine Trade Association:" each may end in a colon. Several sentence periods after "Co" and "Inc" are faint or dropped in this 1-bit scan (e.g. "Sunshine Mining Co.", "Howe Sound Co.", "U. S. Vanadium Co."); they are transcribed as normal periods. A faint mark follows "involved:" in the International Union of Mine, Mill & Smelter Workers line; it does not read clearly as a footnote marker and has not been transcribed. Sunshine Mining Co. and Sullivan Mining Co. both show 242 in the second numeric column; this is as printed and has not been altered. The printed Total row (68,312 / 3,520 / 21,227) covers the whole table including rows on earlier pages and was not verified against this crop.
