Reader’s notes

p. 185. Nine columns: stub plus four paired Number / Percent-by-type column groups (Total, By employer, By union, By both parties). The stub column carries no printed heading. Decimal points: this scan drops small baseline/above-baseline dots throughout (visible as dotless i's in "Stipulated", "Regional Director-directed", "union", "Objections", "definitions"). The percent cells therefore appear as "100 0", "32 8", "60 5" etc. with a gap where the decimal point is printed. I have transcribed them with the decimal point restored ("100.0", "32.8", "60.5"), since these are percent-by-type columns summing to 100 and the dot is certainly printed but not reproduced. For the same reason I could not confirm terminal periods on the two footnotes, so they are transcribed without one. In the "Expedited elections" row the four percent cells hold an em-dash rule, transcribed as "" per instruction; the four Number cells each hold a printed 0. Stray ink specks sit in the margin left of the "By union" Number cell on the "RM cases" row and left of the "By both parties" Percent cell on the "Board-directed elections" row; these are scan artifacts, not footnote markers or digits. Arithmetic as printed: "All representation elections" percents sum to 100.0 (32.8+60.5+6.7); "RC cases" gives 34.8+62.9+2.3 = 100.0; "RM cases" 16.7+50.0+33.3 = 100.0; "RD cases" 25.0+47.4+27.6 = 100.0. Counts also reconcile (515+24+76 = 615; 11+461+0+134+9 = 615). Nothing appears misprinted.
