Industrial Distribution of Collective-Bargaining Elections, Fiscal Year 1961

p. 249. Seven columns: stub plus Total, AFL-CIO affiliates, Unaffiliated unions, In which no representative was chosen (these four under the spanner "Number of elections"), Eligible voters, Valid votes cast. "Eligible voters" and "Valid votes cast" are tall single headings spanning all three heading levels, so they are repeated in each level. Footnote 1 is clipped by the bottom edge of the crop: only the upper halves of the letters are printed on this image and the sentence plainly continues past the crop (it almost certainly ends "...U.S. Bureau of the Budget"). The wording given is a best reading of those letter tops; "Bureau of Statistical Standards" could instead be "Office of Statistical Standards", and the final words after "U.S. Bureau of the" are not on the image at all. "Chemicals and allied products", Total column: the last digit is not cleanly resolvable at this scan quality (it reads as 270 or 279). I transcribed 279 because the row's own components (100 + 56 + 123 = 279) and the Manufacturing total (the 21 manufacturing detail lines sum to 3,739 only with 279) both require it; every other column of this row and all other manufacturing rows check out exactly. Thousands commas print faintly or as a bare space in a few cells; I wrote them with commas: Furniture and fixtures (Eligible voters 9,819; Valid votes cast 8,954), Printing, publishing, and allied industries (Eligible voters 5,926; Valid votes cast 5,448), Wholesale trade (Valid votes cast 14,595), Motor freight, warehousing, and transportation services (Valid votes cast 6,574). All four values are confirmed by their column sums. A stray ink mark (a small hand-drawn squiggle) sits in the leader dots of the "Mining" row label; it is not part of the label and is not transcribed. Every column was verified against the printed totals: the nine major-group lines sum to the Total row and the 21 manufacturing detail lines to the Manufacturing row, in all six numeric columns, with no discrepancy. The Mining and Transportation detail blocks likewise sum exactly to their group lines.
