637 of 637 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 291. The crop is the first part of Table 15; the body is cut off after the Kansas row (the West North Central section's last state), and the table continues on the following page. The stub heading carries footnote marker 1 ("Division and State ¹"), but no footnote text is printed within this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. Column structure: 11 columns — stub, Total, two columns under "Number of elections in which representation rights were won by—" (AFL-CIO affiliates / Unaffiliated unions), the tall single headings "Number of elections in which no representative was chosen", "Number of employees eligible to vote" and "Total valid votes cast", three columns under "Valid votes cast for—" (AFL-CIO affiliates / Unaffiliated unions / No union), and the tall heading "Employees in units choosing representation". Doubtful/noisy spots in the scan (values transcribed as read): - Kansas, "Valid votes cast for— AFL-CIO affiliates": the figure 1,053 is followed by a short stray horizontal mark and a small ink blot at the column rule; I read it as 1,053 with no trailing character. - East North Central, "…won by— Unaffiliated unions": a faint stray pen/ink stroke sits just above the figure 399; the digits themselves are clear. - Maine (stub) and Indiana/Wisconsin (stub) rows have faint stray marks in the leader-dot area; they do not affect any value. - South Dakota, "Employees in units choosing representation" reads 53, which is notably smaller than the 119 + 18 union votes in that row; it is transcribed exactly as printed and may be a misprint in the source.
p. 292. This crop is a continuation page: no column headings are printed on it, so `header_rows` is empty. The table has a stub plus 10 numeric columns, separated by vertical rules; the first four numeric columns are narrow (counts) and the last six are larger figures. The regional rows (South Atlantic, East South Central, West South Central, Mountain, Pacific, Outlying areas) are subtotal rows printed above their indented State rows and set off by double rules; each is followed by its component States. Every one of these six subtotals was checked against the sum of its State rows in all 10 columns and agrees exactly as transcribed, so there are no suspected misprints. Minor legibility points: the scan renders "Pacific" with a broken 'c' (looks like "Pacifle") and "Hawaii" with a broken second 'i'; both are transcribed with their correct printed spelling. In the footnote, the abbreviation "U.S." appears with a faint/possibly missing period after the S ("U.S Department"); I transcribed it as "U.S." Virgin Islands has printed zeros (0) in columns 3, 4 and 8, transcribed as printed. The footnote marker 1 at the start of the footnote refers to a stub heading printed on the preceding page, which is outside this crop.
