Reader’s notes
p. 181. 15 columns: stub plus 5 under "Elections participated in", 5 under "Employees involved in elections (number eligible to vote)", and 4 under "Valid votes cast". No footnotes are printed under the table. Decimal points: in this scan many decimal points in the percent columns are faint or dropped, so cells print as e.g. "68 0", "42 1", "57 9", "88 7", "47 5", "29 9", "70 1", "54 0", "41 2", "58 8", "55 9", "44 1", "90 1", "53 6", "26 3", "73 7", "14 0", "86 0", "83 7". All other percent cells in the same columns are typeset with one decimal (32.0, 46.0, 90.4, 47.2, 38.1), and every one of these values is arithmetically consistent with a single decimal place, so they are transcribed with a decimal point. Row labels "A. F. L." and "C. I. O." likewise show faint/missing periods after the F and the I in the scan ("A. F L.", "C. I O."); transcribed with the standard periods. Verification: all internal arithmetic checks pass — the three affiliation rows sum to the "Total elections" row in every count column (97+34+19=150; 29+14+5=48; 68+20+14=102; 4,255+3,611+2,378=10,244; 1,958+2,019+332=4,309; 2,297+1,592+2,046=5,935; 3,847+3,252+1,990=9,089; 1,814+1,742+759=4,315), and every percent cell matches its implied ratio to one decimal. No suspected misprints.
