Size of Units in Collective-Bargaining and Decertification Elections, Fiscal Year 1959

p. 186. STRUCTURE: 9 columns. The page carries two stacked panels, A (collective-bargaining elections) and B (decertification elections), that share one heading block printed only above panel A; panel B repeats no headings. Both panels are transcribed under the single heading block, in order, with the two panel titles kept as label-only rows. Each panel has its own "Total" row, so "Total" appears twice. The period after "B" in the panel-B title is not visible in the scan (printed "B DECERTIFICATION ELECTIONS"); written "B." to match "A.". DECIMAL POINTS: this is a 1-bit scan that drops most periods in the percent columns — the printed "100.0" images as "100 0", "20.8" as "20 8", and so on, with a few (5.2, 2.7, 1.7, 5.3, 3.9, 2.8, .4, .1, .0) still showing the point. Every percent cell is transcribed with its decimal point, since all four percent columns are one-decimal percentages of the panel totals. Values below 1 percent are printed with no leading zero (".5", ".3", ".0"), and are given that way here; percent cells that image as a bare "0" are transcribed ".0" on the same reasoning. FOOTNOTE CELLS: "(^1)" marks a cell whose entire content is the raised footnote reference 1 inside parentheses, with no number — panel A rows "3,000-3,999" and "4,000-4,999" under "Percent of total", and "3,000-3,999" under AFL-CIO affiliates/Percent. DOUBTFUL CELLS: (a) Panel A, row "200-299", column "Elections in which no representative was chosen / Percent" — the first digit images like an 8 ("8 6"), but it is a filled-in 3; transcribed "3.6" (the cell to its left is 72, and 72 of 2,018 is 3.6). (b) Panel B, row "50-59", same column — the final digit is unclear between 2 and 3; transcribed "4.2" (6 of 142 = 4.2 under either rounding or truncation). (c) Panel B, row "80-89", same column, images as a 0 with an adjacent speck; read as ".0", consistent with the 0 in the number cell beside it. ARITHMETIC CHECK: all four count columns sum exactly to their printed totals in both panels — panel A 5,428 / 2,302 / 1,108 / 2,018 and panel B 216 / 60 / 14 / 142 — which corroborates the integer readings. No printed total appears to be in error. The percent columns are mostly rounded but occasionally truncated (e.g. panel A "10-19" no-representative 427/2,018 = 21.16 printed as 21.1; panel B "20-29" 31/216 = 14.35 printed as 14.3); these are transcribed as printed, not corrected. Row-label dashes are printed as en dashes ("1–9"); transcribed as plain hyphens. The heading reads "AFL–CIO affiliates" with an en dash; transcribed "AFL-CIO affiliates". Nothing appears cut off by the crop.
