Valid Votes Cast in Representation Elections, by Final Results of Election, in Cases Closed, Fiscal Year 1972

p. 264. The crop cuts the table off after "AFL-CIO v. Natl. v. Local": the 3-union block continues on the following page and no 3-union subtotal appears on this image. The caption carries footnote marker 1, but no footnote text is printed on this page; instead the line "See footnote at end of table." appears below the body (recorded here rather than in footnotes, since it has no marker). Two row labels appear to be printed without their usual abbreviation periods: "Teamsters v Teamsters" (no period after "v") and "Natl v. Natl." (no period after the first "Natl"); in both cases the gap is wider than in the neighbouring labels, but at this resolution a faint period cannot be fully ruled out. All row and column sums in the grid reconcile (e.g. the 1-union and 2-union subtotal lines equal the sum of their component rows, and each row's four main components sum to its "Total valid votes cast"), so no misprints are suspected.

p. 265. Grid is 14 columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then two six-column panels ("...elections won" and "...elections lost"), each being Total / AFL-CIO unions / Teamsters / Other national unions / Other local unions plus that panel's "Total votes for no union" (the spanner rules show the no-union column falls inside each panel's span). Crop boundaries: the page continues Table 14 from the preceding page (the caption carries "—Continued" and section A's earlier rows are not on this image). At the bottom the body is cut off: the column rules run past the last printed row ("Local v. Local"), so section B's 2-union subtotal and any later rows/sections are not shown here. No footnote text is printed on this crop (the caption's raised "1" marker refers to a note printed elsewhere). Suspected misprint: in "Local v. Local" the components sum to 1,105 (1,095 won + 8 no-union-won + 2 lost + 0 no-union-lost) while the printed "Total valid votes cast" is 1,108. Transcribed as printed; the discrepancy is in the source. Every other row on the crop reconciles exactly, both across the row and down the subtotal/total columns. Doubtful cells. (a) Section line "A. All representation elections—Continued": the period after "A" is not legible in the scan (only a wide space is visible); it is written here to match the clearly printed "B. Elections in RC cases". (b) Row label "Teamsters v. Natl. v. Local": the period after the first "v" is likewise not legible; printed as "Teamsters v Natl. v. Local". (c) "Natl. v. Natl.", Total votes for no union (elections lost): read as 0 but faint; the row arithmetic (630 + 9 = 639) supports 0. (d) "AFL-CIO v. Natl.", Total votes for no union (elections won): the middle digit is blotted; read as 1,530, which is the value the row total requires (1,580 would not reconcile). Dash rules ("------") in a cell are rendered as empty strings; printed zeros are kept as 0. Spaces the typesetter left after digit-grouping commas ("8, 044") have been closed up.

p. 266. The crop is a continuation page: no column headings are printed on it, so header_rows is empty. The grid has the stub plus 13 numeric columns, read off the column rules of the top "2-union elections" line (102,075 ... 8,556). Structure confirmed arithmetically throughout: column 2 = cols 3+4+5+6, column 8 = cols 9+10+11+12, and column 1 = cols 2+7+8+13. Every printed subtotal ("1-union elections", "2-union elections", "3 (or more)-union elections", "Total RC elections", "Total RM elections") reconciles both down its column and across its row, so the assignment of each value to its column should be reliable. No printed total appears to be misprinted. Blank cells: in the detail rows the empty cells are printed as dash rules (------), transcribed as "". Their placement mirrors exactly between cols 3-6 and cols 9-12 (a union type carries a dash in both groups when it is not a participant in that pairing), which is what I used to resolve the few cells where a 0 and a dash rule are hard to tell apart at this resolution — notably "AFL-CIO v. Natl. v. Natl." column 12 (read as a dash rule, matching the dash in column 6 for that row) and "Natl v. Local v. Local" columns 9-10. Doubtful marks: in "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO" there is a small raised tick immediately before 191 in column 2, and in RM "AFL-CIO v. Teamsters" a similar tick immediately after 9 in column 7. Neither is a legible footnote marker and no footnotes are printed under the table, so I read both as scanning specks and transcribed the bare values 191 and 9; both are confirmed by the column sums (23,670 and 15). Row labels: the abbreviation "v." is inconsistently printed — several labels show "v" with no period ("AFL-CIO v. Teamsters v Natl.", "AFL-CIO v Teamsters v. Local", "Natl v. Local v. Local", "AFL-CIO v Local", "Teamsters v Natl.", "Natl v. Local", "AFL-CIO v Teamsters v Teamsters"), and "Natl" appears without a period in those same labels. I transcribed each as it reads on the page; worn type means some of these periods may exist but be invisible at this scan resolution. "C. Elections in RM cases" is a centred section line inside the body (no values), kept as a row. The rows above it finish the RC-case section carried over from the preceding page. Stray ink marks sit outside the right-hand rule beside the "AFL-CIO" row and below "411" in the "Total RM elections" row; they are page artifacts, not data.

p. 267. This crop is the continuation page of Table 14 and contains only panel D ("D. Elections in RD cases"); panels A-C are on earlier pages. The centered section line "D. Elections in RD cases" is transcribed as a label-only row.\n\nThe scan renders the digit 3 very much like an 8 in several places. Three cells/labels were resolved as 3 on the basis of the table's own arithmetic, which is exact everywhere else: the subtotal label "3 (or more)-union elections" (follows "1-union" and "2-union"); "Total RD elections" / Teamsters, elections won = 1,139 (590 + 503 + 46); and "Total RD elections" / Total votes for no union, elections won = 2,343 (2,305 + 37 + 1). If the printed glyphs were in fact 8s, those three would read "8 (or more)-union elections", 1,189 and 2,843.\n\nAll row and column totals in the panel add exactly as printed; no misprints detected. Cells printed as a dash rule (------) are transcribed as empty strings; printed zeros are kept as 0. A stray ink speck sits just left of the 0 in the "Teamsters v. Natl." row, Teamsters column of elections lost; it is not a footnote marker.
