754 of 756 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out. 5 cells break a sum: '1-union elections', column 4: prints 3,877, columns 5 to 8 add to 4,377; 'AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. Local', column 11: prints 4,988, columns 12 to 15 add to 5,038; '1-union elections', column 5: prints 2,892, rows 'AFL-CIO' to 'Other local unions' add to 2,392; '3 (or more)-union elections', column 15: prints 3,940, rows 'AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v' to 'AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v' add to 3,990; 'Total RC elections', column 5: prints 2,760, the subtotals in rows '1-union elections' to '3 (or more)-union el' add to 3,260.
p. 251. CROP IS INCOMPLETE. The image ends immediately after "Local v. Local v. Local"; the table continues below the crop. Evidence: the "3 (or more)-union elections" subtotal (57 elections, 52 won) exceeds the sum of the nine detail rows shown here (54 elections, 49 won) by exactly 3 elections, all won — so roughly three further detail rows of that group are cut off. Section "B." (and any further panels) is likewise not shown. FOOTNOTES NOT VISIBLE. No footnote text appears in the crop, so `footnotes` is empty, even though two markers are referenced: a raised 1 on the caption (caption excluded per instructions) and a raised 2 on the "Total elections" column heading, transcribed as "Total elections^2". SCAN DROPOUTS REPAIRED (1-bit scan loses sub-pixel punctuation): - Decimal points in the "Percent won" column are faint or invisible on most rows (printed e.g. "59 0", "56 2", "100 0", "88 9"). I transcribed them with the decimal point ("59.0", "56.2", "100.0", "88.9"), which every percentage confirms arithmetically (e.g. 4,791/8,116 = 59.0; 8/9 = 88.9). - The period after "v" is missing or faint in several stub labels as printed: "Teamsters v Teamsters", "Natl v Natl", "Natl v Local", "Local v Local v. Local". I wrote "v." uniformly to match the rest of the column; the form actually inked on those four rows is "v" without a period. OTHER READING NOTES: - Blank value cells are printed as dash-leader rules ("------"); transcribed as "". - Printed zeros are retained as 0, including the two genuine zeros in "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. Natl" (Elections won by unions / Other national unions, and Employees / In units won by / Other national unions). - In "AFL-CIO v. Teamsters", the "Elections won by unions / Other national unions" cell carries a small speck above the dash leader that could be mistaken for a glyph; it is empty (84 + 115 = 199 printed total won). - Every other value was cross-checked: within each row the four union columns sum to "Total won", "Total won" + "no representative chosen" = "Total elections", the four "In units won by" columns sum to "In elections won", and "In elections won" + "In elections where no representative chosen" = "Total" employees; and the 1-union, 2-union and 3-or-more subtotals sum to the "Total representation elections" line. All of these reconcile exactly, so no misprint is suspected in the portion shown.
p. 252. No column headings are printed on this crop (continuation page), so header_rows is empty. The grid has 16 columns: stub plus 15 data columns, counted from the column rules and confirmed against every row. Two cells are doubtful, both a possible 3/8 confusion in this 1-bit scan; I transcribed them as I read them, but arithmetic points the other way in both cases: 1. Row "1-union elections", 4th data column: I read "2,892". The only sub-row contributing to that column is "AFL-CIO" = 2,392, and the column also reconciles with "Total RC elections" = 2,760 only as 2,392 + 346 + 22. The printed figure is most likely 2,392. 2. Row "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. Local", 14th data column (other local unions' votes): I read "3,188". Both the row check (4,988 - 1,850) and the column check against the "3 (or more)-union elections" subtotal 3,940 give 3,138. Every other cell reconciles: all three block subtotals sum correctly to "Total RC elections" in all 15 columns, each row's votes split sums to its union-votes total, and all printed percentages match their own row's ratio. The row label "AFL-CIO v Natl" (2-union block) is printed without the period after "v", unlike the surrounding "v." labels; transcribed as printed. The first three rows continue a section (part A) that began on the preceding page; their section heading is not on this crop. "B. ELECTIONS IN RC CASES" is a centred section line carrying no values. The right margin shows the running head "Appendix A" and the page number 239, both excluded. The line "See footnotes at end of table." sits at the very bottom edge and is slightly clipped but legible; it carries no footnote marker.
p. 253. Continuation page of Table 13; the crop shows only panel "C. ELECTIONS IN RM CASES", which is transcribed as a section row with no values. The column headings are reprinted on this page, so they are given in header_rows. The footnote markers 1 (on the caption) and 2 (on "Total elections") are printed, but no footnote texts appear on this crop — they belong to the earlier page(s) of the table, so footnotes is empty. Column structure: 16 columns — stub, "Total elections^2", six columns under "Elections won by unions" (Percent won / Total won / AFL-CIO unions / Teamsters / Other national unions / Other local unions), "Elections in which no representative chosen", six columns under "Employees eligible to vote" (Total / In elections won / and four "In units won by" columns), and "In elections where no representative chosen". Cells filled with dashed leader rules in the body are transcribed as "". Printed zeros are kept as 0 (e.g. "AFL-CIO v. Local", AFL-CIO unions column = 0; "AFL-CIO v. Natl.", Other national unions column = 0). Doubtful cell: the row label "AFL-CIO v. Natl." — the trailing period runs into the leader dots, so it is not certain whether the abbreviation is printed with a period; it is transcribed with one, by analogy with "Natl. v. Local", where the period is clear. All printed row and column totals in this panel are internally consistent (component elections sum to "Total won"; "Total won" + "no representative chosen" = "Total elections"; employee columns sum likewise), so no misprints are suspected.
p. 254. The crop continues a table from earlier pages and prints no column headings, so header_rows is empty. The body has 15 numeric columns (16 with the stub), counted from the vertical column rules: columns 1-8 form the left panel (number of elections, percent, elections won total, then won by AFL-CIO / Teamsters / other national / other local, then elections lost), separated by a heavy double rule from columns 9-15 (valid votes cast total, votes for unions total, then votes for AFL-CIO / Teamsters / other national / other local, then votes against). Those column meanings are inferred from the arithmetic, not read from this crop. "D. ELECTIONS IN RD CASES" is centered above the table's top rule; I kept it as a section row with no values rather than treating it as a caption, since sections A-C of the same table appear on the preceding pages. Many cells are filled by long dash rules spanning several empty columns; these are transcribed as "". Where a dash rule runs across a row, the placement of the isolated numbers inside it (e.g. 966 in the Teamsters row, 999 in the AFL-CIO v. Teamsters row, 291 in the AFL-CIO v. Natl row) was checked against the column rules and against the totals. Every total was verified as a check on column placement and all agree exactly: the four 1-union detail rows sum to the 1-union line in all 15 columns, the six 2-union detail rows sum to the 2-union line in all 15 columns, and 1-union plus 2-union sums to Total RD elections in all 15 columns. The printed percents also match (69/234 = 29.5, 54/217 = 24.9, 15/17 = 88.2). Nothing was computed or altered; the figures are as printed. Decimal figures are printed with a space after the point in places (e.g. "29. 5", "24. 9", "100. 0"); these are written closed up per instructions, as are the digit-grouping commas (e.g. "12, 705" to "12,705"). Footnote 2 reads "for example;" with a semicolon where a colon is expected; transcribed as printed. The footnote markers are set as small raised digits and the opening quotation mark on "Glossary" is printed as an inverted double quote. Row labels "AFL-CIO v. Natl" and "AFL-CIO v. Local" (and the Teamsters pair) are printed in those abbreviated forms, without periods after "Natl"; the scan shows a faint mark after "Natl" on some lines that I read as part of the leader dots, not an abbreviation point.
