Industrial Distribution of Representation Elections Held in Cases Closed, Fiscal Year 1977

p. 319. The crop ends just below the "Manufacturing" subtotal rule; the table continues on the following page(s) with the nonmanufacturing industry groups and the grand total. The stub heading carries footnote marker 1 ("Industrial group 1"), but no footnote text is printed within this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. Doubtful cells: in "Miscellaneous manufacturing industries", the last column ("Eligible employees in units choosing representation") is read as 5,877 — the leading digit is smudged and could conceivably be an 8 (8,877), though 5 fits the glyph and the column total better. In "Primary metal industries", the two adjacent valid-vote cells 1,373 (Teamsters) and 1,412 (Other national unions) are tightly set but legible. Checks on the "Manufacturing" subtotal: the five won-by-unions component columns (1,160 + 511 + 172 + 98 = 1,941) agree with the printed Total, and 1,941 + 2,396 = 4,337 agrees with total elections. The valid-votes components (87,650 + 23,636 + 19,479 + 10,197 = 140,962) also agree, and 140,962 + 153,879 = 294,841 agrees with total valid votes cast. Nothing was computed into the grid; all cells are as printed.

p. 320. Continuation page: no column headings are printed on this crop (the table's headings are on the preceding page), so header_rows is empty. The grid is 17 columns (stub + 16 numeric), confirmed from the column rules and from the arithmetic structure, which holds throughout: col1 = col2 + col7; col2 = col3+col4+col5+col6; col9 = col10 + col15; col10 = col11+col12+col13+col14. These identities were used to check every row and every subtotal, and all cells verify except the five noted below, which are transcribed exactly as printed. 1. "Membership organizations", column 14 (the fourth of the four columns that sum to col10, i.e. the one holding 1,796 in "Educational services" and 1,052 in "Business services"): the cell appears blank in the scan and is transcribed as "". It is almost certainly a dropped/failed impression rather than a true blank: the row needs 61 there (230+2+0+61 = 293), and the "Services" subtotal for that column (10,322) also requires exactly 61 from this row. No digits are legible, so nothing was entered. 2. "Communication", column 12 (the one totalling 43,081): reads 197 in the scan. Both checks fail by 90 with that value — the row gives 6,750+197+24+3,106 = 10,077 against a printed col10 of 9,987, and the "Transportation, communication, and other utilities" subtotal of 4,912 for this column requires 107. The printed value may be 107 with the 0 reading as 9, or 197 may be a misprint; 197 is transcribed as seen. 3. "Mining" subtotal, column 12: printed 643, but the four mining detail rows sum to 634 (478+6+29+121) and the row identity also requires 634 (1,495+634+970+22 = 3,121). Looks like a transposed-digit misprint in the subtotal; 643 transcribed as printed. 4. "Construction", columns 11-14: 1,376+634+268+221 = 2,499, but the printed col10 is 2,311 (which is independently confirmed, since col9 4,845 = col10 2,311 + col15 2,534). The row is internally inconsistent by 188 as printed; all six cells are transcribed as they appear and none looked doubtful individually. 5. "Business services", column 7: reads 173, but col1 (346) minus col2 (174) gives 172, and the "Services" subtotal of 797 for column 7 also requires 172. Transcribed as 173 as seen. Minor scan artifacts, not transcribed: a stray short dash sits just left of the 0 in column 7 of the "Museums, art galleries, botanical and zoological gardens" row (treated as a printing mark, cell entered as 0); the 0 in column 6 of "Automotive repair, services, and garages" carries a stray tick; the 897 in column 11 of "Metal mining" and the 56 in column 12 of "Motion pictures" are partly broken glyphs but are confirmed by their column sums. A small ink mark sits in the right margin beside the "Transportation, communication, and other utilities" row, outside the table body. Row groups are separated by double rules (mining group, construction/trade/finance/postal group, transportation group, services group) but no section-label rows are printed; the stub rows "Mining", "Transportation, communication, and other utilities", "Services", "Public administration" and "Total, all industrial groups" are subtotal/total lines carrying values.
