Reader’s notes
p. 180. Crop shows only the start of the table: the Total line, the New England division line and its six States. The table continues on following pages (the line "See footnotes at end of table." is printed below the rule and is itself partly cut off by the crop bottom; it carries no footnote marker, so it is not listed in footnotes, and no numbered footnotes appear on this image). Column count is 8 printed columns (stub + All cases + CA/CB/CC/CD + RC/RM/RD), read from the vertical rules and the two spanner headings. Doubtful cells: Total / All cases is printed as "13 341" with the thousands comma not legible in the scan; transcribed as "13,341" (the row's components sum to 13,341). Rhode Island / RD^2 is printed as "-4" where the leading mark is a stray rule/leader fragment, not a minus sign or footnote marker; transcribed as "4" (row components sum to 124). Connecticut / RD^2 is printed with a stray dot before it ("· 5"); transcribed as "5" (row components sum to 182). New Hampshire / RC^2 is slightly broken in the scan but reads 31 and is consistent with the row total of 42. The footnote marker on the CD heading is faint and could be read as something other than a raised 2, but the parallel CA/CB/CC/RC/RM/RD headings all carry a raised 2, so it is transcribed as CD^2. All eight body rows cross-foot exactly to their All-cases figures, and the seven case-type columns sum to the printed Total row, so no misprints are suspected.
p. 181. The page is a continuation (caption reads "—Continued"): it begins mid-table at the Middle Atlantic division, so the grand-total row and the New England division are on the preceding page and are not in this crop. Nine printed columns: stub, "All cases", four unfair-labor-practice columns (CA, CB, CC, CD) and three representation columns (RC, RM, RD). Every division subtotal was checked against the sum of its member states in all eight numeric columns, and all ten divisions (Middle Atlantic through Outlying areas) reconcile exactly, which corroborates the digits and the column assignment. Minor legibility points, all resolved by those checks: in the East South Central block the Kentucky line is printed over a broken rule, so the CC cell ("2"), the CD cell ("0") and the RD cell ("1") each carry a stray ink mark that could be mistaken for a decimal point or a hyphen; the values are 2, 0 and 1, and the column sums (61, 52, 16) confirm them. The Georgia stub line shows a stray double-dash after the leader dots, which is leader rule, not a value. The raised "1" on the stub heading and the raised "2" on each case-type heading are footnote markers.
