Geographic Distribution of Representation Elections Held in Cases Closed, Fiscal Year 1981

p. 224. Single-panel table, 17 columns (stub plus 16 numeric columns). The stub heading carries a raised "1" footnote marker, but no footnote text is printed on this crop (it presumably appears at the end of the table on a later page), so `footnotes` is empty. The crop is cut off at the bottom: the table ends mid-division with Florida, the last of the South Atlantic states, and that division's subtotal row (and all remaining divisions) fall on the following page. The "212" and the running head "Forty-Sixth Annual Report of the National Labor Relations Board" printed vertically at the right edge are page furniture, not a table column, and are excluded. Arithmetic cross-checks: every printed division subtotal (New England, Middle Atlantic, East North Central, West North Central) reconciles exactly with its member states in all 16 numeric columns, and for each state row the union "Total" equals the sum of its four union components, total elections equals won-by-unions plus no-representative, and total valid votes cast equals votes for unions plus votes for no union. No discrepancies found. One value worth flagging as unusual but transcribed as printed: South Dakota's "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" reads 38 (small relative to its 948 eligible voters); it is consistent with the West North Central subtotal of 8,800, so the small figure is as printed rather than a misread. Scattered stray dots in the stub column (beside Rhode Island, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida) are residual leader dots and were dropped.

p. 225. This crop is a continuation page: no column headings are printed on it, so header_rows is empty. The grid has 17 columns (stub + 16 numeric columns), counted from the column rules and confirmed on every data row including the final total row. The table opens mid-way with the regional total line "South Atlantic"; the individual South Atlantic states (and all preceding regions) are on the previous page and are not in this crop. Likewise the grand total "Total, all States and areas" cannot be checked against this crop alone because the earlier regions are off-image. Arithmetic cross-check (not applied to any cell, only used to gauge reading accuracy): every regional subtotal shown here — East South Central, West South Central, Mountain, Pacific and Outlying Areas — equals the sum of its listed states in all 16 numeric columns as transcribed. No misprints detected among the visible rows. Minor legibility points, all resolved with confidence by the subtotal checks: Alabama column 5 reads "4" (East South Central column 5 = 8 = 2+1+4+1); Tennessee column 13 reads "2" and column 14 reads "11"; Idaho column 3 reads "1". The faint stray marks in the stub beside Kentucky, Mississippi and Alaska are printing specks, not characters, and were not transcribed. No footnote markers are attached to any row label or value in this crop; the lone footnote "1" belongs to the caption/column headings on the earlier page.
