Industrial Distribution of Collective-Bargaining Elections, Fiscal Year 1954

p. 185. Eight columns: stub, then Total / A.F.L. / C.I.O. / Unaffiliated / no-representative (all five under the spanner \"Number of elections\"), then Eligible voters and Valid votes cast, which are tall headings standing outside that spanner. Arithmetic checks (performed only as a verification of column placement, nothing was altered): all four election columns sum exactly to each subtotal and to the grand total 4,663; the Manufacturing, Mining, Transportation-equipment and Transportation/communication blocks sum exactly to their eligible-voter and valid-vote subtotals; and the industry subtotals sum exactly to 511,430 and 449,673. Apparent misprint in the source: \"Leather and leather products\" shows 8,565 eligible voters but 8,780 valid votes cast — more votes cast than eligible voters. Both figures are transcribed as printed, and both are the values required for the Manufacturing subtotals (404,779 and 360,851) to add up, so the digits are read correctly; the inconsistency is in the original. Typography: the scan renders many abbreviation periods faintly or not at all. The union headings are printed as \"A. F. L\" (no visible period after L) and \"C I O.\" (periods only after the O); these are transcribed as they appear rather than regularized to \"A. F. L.\" / \"C. I. O.\". Likewise \"U S Bureau of the Budget\" in the footnote, where the periods after U and S are not visible. Footnote punctuation: the mark between \"Source\" and \"Standard\" is a damaged glyph that reads like \"!\" in the scan; it is almost certainly a colon and has been transcribed as one. The row label \"Nonmetallic mining and quarrying\" is preceded by a stray ink speck resembling a period in the left margin; treated as a scan artifact and not transcribed. The body ends at \"Services\" with no further breakdown; the footnote follows directly, so nothing appears cut off by the crop.
