Reader’s notes

p. 237. 14 columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then six columns under "Valid votes cast in elections won" (Total / AFL-CIO unions / Teamsters / Other national unions / Other local unions / Total votes for no union) and the same six under "Valid votes cast in elections lost". The crop shows only panel "A. All representation elections"; the table caption carries a raised footnote marker 1, but no footnote text appears on this image (it is presumably printed after a further panel, e.g. a "B." section, that is outside the crop). The caption itself is omitted per instructions. Em-dash rules ("——") used for structurally inapplicable cells are transcribed as empty strings; printed zeros are kept as 0. In the "National v. National" row a stray leader dot sits immediately left of the value 33 in the "Other national unions" (elections won) column; it is a typesetting artifact, and the value is 33. All printed totals and subtotals were checked against their components and are internally consistent; nothing was computed or altered. The report prints "AFL–CIO" with an en dash in row labels and headings; transcribed with a plain hyphen.

p. 238. The crop is a continuation page: the caption carries footnote marker 1, but no footnote text is printed on this image, so `footnotes` is empty. The table is cut off at the bottom — section "C. Elections in RM cases" shows only its first four rows (AFL-CIO through Other local unions); its multi-union rows and totals continue on the following page. Dash rules ("——") used for nil entries are transcribed as empty cells, while printed zeros are kept as 0. The two centered panel captions "B. Elections in RC cases" and "C. Elections in RM cases" are given as label-only rows. Row labels are printed with trailing periods/leader dots (e.g. "Teamsters v. Local .", "National v. Local..", "Total RC elections."), which have been dropped. All arithmetic in the grid cross-checks: every row's components sum to its stated totals, and the 1-union/2-union/3-or-more subtotals sum exactly to "Total RC elections", so no misprints are suspected. In the scan the dotless-i rendering of "valid"/"unions" in the headings is a font artifact, not a different word.

p. 239. 14 columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then two six-column blocks ("elections won" and "elections lost"), each made of five "Votes for unions" columns plus a tall "Total votes for no union" column that sits inside its block. The crop opens mid-section: the rows above "1-union elections" (the individual-union detail lines of section C, Elections in RM cases) and that section's own heading line are on the preceding page, so the first six body rows have no section label on this image. The "D. Elections in RD cases" line is printed centered across the table body and carries no values; it is transcribed as a label-only row. Dash rules ("——") are rendered as empty cells throughout; printed zeros are kept as 0. A faint isolated speck sits just above the "8" in the first row ("1-union elections", elections won / Other national unions). It is page dirt, not a footnote marker, and was not transcribed; the value in that cell is 8. The only footnote marker printed on this crop is the "1" on the caption year, and the caption is excluded per instructions; the footnote text itself is retained. All row and column arithmetic checks out internally (component columns sum to their "Total" columns, detail rows sum to the "1-union elections", "2-union elections", "Total RM elections" and "Total RD elections" lines), so no printed value appears to be a misprint.
