  1. 1 See "Glossary" for definitions of terms.

662 of 663 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out. 2 cells break a sum: 'AFL-CIO v. Natl. v. Natl', column 3: prints 777, columns 4 to 7 add to 677; '3 (or more)-union elections', column 4: prints 3,296, rows '' to 'AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v' add to 3,196.

Reader’s notes

p. 235. The crop is cut off at the bottom: the last transcribed row ("AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO", whose label wraps onto two printed lines) sits at the very edge of the image, and the table clearly continues below (no 3-union subtotal and no panel B are visible). No footnote text is printed within the crop, so `footnotes` is empty even though the caption carries a raised 1 marker; the caption itself is excluded per instructions. Column structure: 14 columns — stub, "Total valid votes cast", then two six-column panels ("...election won" and "...election lost"), each made of a five-column "Votes for unions" block (Total / AFL-CIO unions / Teamsters / Other national unions / Other local unions) plus a tall "Total votes for no Union" column. The won panel's last heading is printed "Total votes for no Union" (capital U) and the lost panel's "Total votes for no union" (lowercase u); both are transcribed as printed. Dash rules ("----") in the body are rendered as empty cells per instructions; printed zeros are kept as 0. In the row "Teamsters v. Natl" the "AFL-CIO unions" cell of the election-lost panel prints as a broken dash rule ("- --") rather than a clean rule; read as a dash rule, i.e. empty. Row label as printed: "AFL CIO v. AFL-CIO v. Local" lacks the hyphen in the first "AFL CIO" (every other occurrence in the table is hyphenated); transcribed as printed, likely a typesetting slip. The abbreviation "Natl" appears with and without a trailing period across rows; each is kept as printed. All arithmetic cross-checks pass as transcribed: every data row's "Total valid votes cast" equals won-total + won-no-union + lost-total + lost-no-union; each won/lost "Total" equals the sum of its four union columns; and the "1-union elections" and "2-union elections" subtotal rows equal the column sums of the rows above them. No printed total appears to be in error. Minor scan artifacts (a comma-like speck under the won-panel "Total" heading and a dot under the lost-panel "Total" heading) are not content and were not transcribed.

p. 236. Grid is 14 columns: stub + 13 numeric columns (the 13th sits to the right of a heavy double rule). No column headings are printed on this crop — it continues a table from the preceding page — so header_rows is empty. The first six body rows are the tail of panel A (ending with "Total representation elections"); the centred line "B. ELECTIONS IN RC CASES" is transcribed as a section row with empty value cells. The period after "B" in that heading is not clearly resolved at this scan resolution; the spacing is consistent with "B." and I have transcribed it that way. Row label missing in the print: the first row of panel B's three-or-more-union block (561 / 531 / 531 / ... / 0) has a completely blank stub in this image — no text and no leader dots — so its label cell is "". Its dash pattern (values only in the AFL-CIO columns 3 and 9) and the parallel list in panel A indicate it is the "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO" line, but nothing is printed, so I did not supply it. All other labels in that block align with their own number lines (verified at the last line, "AFL-CIO v Natl. v. Local v. Local" / 359), so the rows are not shifted. Suspected misprint: in "AFL-CIO v. Natl. v. Natl" the second column reads 777, but columns 3-6 of that row (208 + 469) sum to 677; every other row in the table satisfies col2 = sum(col3..col6). Transcribed as printed; the questionable cell is column 2 of that row (it could also be a mis-set 208 or 469). Internal arithmetic otherwise checks out everywhere (the 1-union, 2-union and total lines all reconcile across columns 1-13), which supports the column assignment. Minor: a stray ink speck sits just left of "33" in column 2 of the "Teamsters v. Teamsters" row; it is not a digit or footnote marker. Periods after "v" and after "Natl" are inconsistent in the scan (e.g. "AFL-CIO v Natl", "Teamsters v Natl", "Natl v. Natl"); labels are transcribed as the characters appear, some faint periods may have been lost in the 1-bit scan. Crop boundary: the table is cut off at the bottom — panel B's three-or-more-union list continues past the image (the five-union line and panel B's subtotal/total rows are not on this crop). No footnotes are visible on this crop.

p. 237. The crop is the tail of a table continued from the preceding page: the first three rows are the end of section B (RC elections) and carry no section line of their own on this image; the caption and any part-B heading are above the crop. Column headings are printed on this page and are transcribed. Grid is 14 columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then six columns under "Valid votes cast in election won" (Total / AFL-CIO unions / Teamsters / Other national unions / Other local unions, all under "Votes for unions", plus "Total votes for no Union"), then the same six under "Valid votes cast in election lost". Doubtful row labels (resolution-limited): the last two rows of the 2-union block read to me as "Natl v. Local" (no period after Natl) and "Natl. v. Local". The two cannot both be right — the final row's figures populate only the "Other local unions" columns (44 won, 0 lost), which is the pattern of a Local-v.-Local election, so the printed label there is very likely "Local v. Local" and I may be misreading it. I have transcribed both labels as the glyphs appear rather than correcting them. Similarly, "AFL-CIO v. Natl" appears without a trailing period while other "Natl" labels carry one; the period may simply be broken in the scan. The row label "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. Teams. v. Local" wraps onto two printed lines and has been joined. "3 (or more)-union elections" is set tight in the original; the space between "3" and "(" is uncertain. In the "Other local unions" row, the "Total votes for no Union" cell shows a short stray vertical mark to the left of the figure (scan artifact or broken column rule); the value is transcribed as 9. All arithmetic checks pass as printed: the 1-union, 2-union and Total RM subtotals reconcile across every one of the 13 numeric columns, and the row-wise identity (total valid votes = won union votes + won no-union votes + lost union votes + lost no-union votes) holds for every data row, including the three RC rows at the top. No suspected numeric misprints. "AFL-CIO" is printed with an en dash (AFL–CIO); transcribed with a plain hyphen throughout.

p. 238. The crop is the final section of a table continued from earlier pages: no column headings are printed on this image, so header_rows is empty. The centered line "D. ELECTIONS IN RD CASES" is transcribed as a section row with no values. The grid has 14 columns (stub + 13 numeric), counted from the vertical rules; cells printed as a dash rule ("----") are given as "". Column placement was confirmed by internal arithmetic, which is fully consistent: cols 3-6 sum to col 2, cols 9-12 sum to col 8, and col 2 + col 7 + col 8 + col 13 = col 1 in every row; the three section subtotals also sum to the "Total RD elections" line in every column. Label uncertainties: the first two-union row appears to read "AFL-CIO v AFL-CIO" with no period after "v" (all other rows use "v."), and in "AFL-CIO v. Natl" it cannot be told at this resolution whether an abbreviating period follows "Natl" before the leader dots (the later row clearly reads "Natl. v. Local"). The hyphen in "AFL-CIO" is set as an en dash in the scan and is transcribed as a plain hyphen. The footnote marker "1" is a raised numeral; no footnote marker is attached to any row label or value in this crop.
