930 of 930 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 229. The crop is the first page of the table and is cut off after the "West North Central" division subtotal; the remaining divisions (South Atlantic onward), any grand total, and the text of footnote 1 (marker printed on the stub heading "Division and State") are not on this image, so `footnotes` is empty. The division rows (New England, Middle Atlantic, East North Central, West North Central) are indented subtotal lines printed with full values; they are transcribed as ordinary rows. "Minnesota" is printed as "Minnesota." — the trailing dot is the first leader dot and was dropped. Arithmetic cross-checks all hold as printed: in every row the four union columns sum to the "Total" of each spanner, "Total" won + "no representative chosen" equals "Total elections", and each division subtotal equals the sum of its states. No misprints detected; no cell was doubtful.
p. 230. Crop shows a continuation page of Table 15B (17 columns). The stub heading carries footnote marker 1 ("Division and State^1"), but no footnote text is printed on this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. The crop is cut off at the bottom: "Utah" is the last fully printed row, and the Mountain division subtotal and any remaining divisions/rows fall below the crop edge. Rows are printed in blocks separated by blank space, with the division subtotal lines (South Atlantic, East South Central, West South Central) indented; no section-title rows are printed, so none are included. Row label spelling: the Tennessee row appears to be printed with an indistinct final letter ("Tennesse"/"Tennessee"); transcribed as "Tennessee". Internal arithmetic checks pass for every data row and every subtotal shown (union sub-categories sum to the union totals; union total + no-union votes = total valid votes; state values sum to each division subtotal), which supports the digit readings and column assignments.
p. 231. This is a continuation page: the table body begins mid-way through the Mountain division (only Nevada and then the "Mountain" subtotal are shown), but the full column headings are reprinted on this page, so they are transcribed. 17 columns: stub, "Total elections", five columns under "Number of elections in which representation rights were won by unions", "Number of elections in which no representative was chosen", "Number of employees eligible to vote", "Total valid votes cast", five columns under "Valid votes cast for unions", "Total votes for no union", and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". Arithmetic cross-checks (used only to confirm column alignment, nothing was altered): the Pacific subtotal equals the sum of Washington through Guam in all 16 numeric columns; the Outlying Areas subtotal equals Puerto Rico + Virgin Islands in all 16; and in every row the "Total" won-by-unions column equals AFL-CIO + Teamsters + Other national + Other local, as does the "Total" valid-votes-for-unions column. No printed value appears to be a misprint. Scan-quality items: the period punctuation in "U.S." and the terminal period of the footnote are faint/broken in this 1-bit scan and have been rendered in their standard form. The caption's small raised "1" after "Division and State" is clear. California's "Other national unions" valid-votes cell (92) is unusually small relative to its neighbours but is confirmed by the Pacific column total (175+147+92+6+394+0 = 814).
