524 of 524 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 180. 16 columns: stub, "Total elections^2", six columns under "Elections won by unions", "Elections in which no representative chosen", six under "Employees eligible to vote" (the last four of which sit under the second-level band "In units won by"), and "In elections where no representative chosen". Crop/continuation: the crop holds only section A ("A. All representation elections"); the table evidently continues past the bottom of this image (a further section and the footnote texts for the markers 1 on the caption and 2 on "Total elections" are not shown), so `footnotes` is empty. Section line: the panel head is printed as "A" followed by a wide gap and "All representation elections"; the period after the "A" is not legible in the scan (the same light-punctuation loss seen elsewhere on this page), and I have transcribed it as "A. All representation elections". Faint punctuation in the percent column: "45 6" (1-union elections), "71 9" (AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO) and "100 0" (National v. National) are printed with the decimal point dropped by the scan; transcribed as 45.6, 71.9 and 100.0, each confirmed by the ratio of won to total elections in the same row. Row labels: the period after "v" is missing in several labels in the scan (e.g. "AFL-CIO v Teamsters", "Local v Local", "AFL-CIO v AFL-CIO v National"); these have been written uniformly as "v." The AFL-CIO hyphen is set as an en dash in the original and is written here as a plain hyphen. Em-dash rules (used where a union could not win a given column) are rendered as empty cells; printed zeros are kept as 0. Note the inconsistency as printed in the two 3-or-more-union detail rows, where the "Other local unions" cells are dashes while the "3 (or more)-union elections" subtotal prints 0. All subtotals, the grand total and the percent-won values check out arithmetically against the detail rows as transcribed; no misprints detected.
p. 181. Continuation page of Table 13; it carries only panel "B" (Elections in RC cases). Panel A and the table's footnote texts are on the preceding page, so `footnotes` is empty even though footnote markers 1 (caption, excluded) and 2 ("Total elections^2") appear. 16 columns, confirmed from the column rules: stub, Total elections, six columns under "Elections won by unions", "Elections in which no representative chosen", six columns under "Employees eligible to vote" (Total, In elections won, and four under the spanner "In units won by"), and "In elections where no representative chosen". The centered section line is printed as "B" followed by a wide gap and "Elections in RC cases"; the period after "B" is not legible in the scan and has been supplied. Decimal points in the "Percent won" column are faint or dropped in several cells of the scan (printed as "62 7", "70 0", "97 0", "78 6", "100 0"); they are transcribed as 62.7, 70.0, 97.0, 78.6, 100.0, consistent with the surrounding values and with the won/total ratios. The "v." in the two-union row labels is inconsistent in the print: a period is visible after "v" in "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO", "AFL-CIO v. Teamsters", "Teamsters v. Local", "Teamsters v. Teamsters", "National v. Local", "National v. National", "Local v. Local", but not in "AFL-CIO v National", "AFL-CIO v Local", "Teamsters v National", or the first "v" of "AFL-CIO v AFL-CIO v. National". Transcribed as printed; the missing periods may simply be lost in the scan. Long dash rules (em-dash fills) are rendered as empty cells per the transcription rules; printed zeros are kept as 0. Note that cells for the same concept sometimes carry a dash and sometimes a 0 within the same row block (e.g. "Teamsters v National" has 0 under Teamsters but a dash under AFL-CIO unions). All printed subtotals and the grand total are internally consistent: the 1-union, 2-union and 3-or-more blocks sum to their subtotals and the three subtotals sum to "Total RC elections" in every numeric column. No misprints detected.
p. 182. 16 columns. The crop is a continuation page (caption reads "—Continued") and carries panels C and D only; it is cut off immediately below the "2-union elections" subtotal of panel D, so the rest of section D (3-union lines, "Total RD elections") and any footnote block are outside the crop. No footnotes are printed on this image; the caption's superscript 1 and the "Total elections^2" marker refer to notes printed elsewhere. The scan drops or badly fades many periods. In the "Percent won" column only 26.0, 100.0 (Teamsters v. National row), 31.4, 25.5, 17.6 and 50.0 render a clear decimal point; the others appear as "13 0", "0 0", "19 8", "100 0", "25 3", "28 6", "16 2", "75 0". All are one-decimal percentages and are transcribed with the decimal point (13.0, 0.0, 19.8, 100.0, 25.3, 28.6, 16.2, 75.0); each is consistent with won/total for its row. Likewise the periods in the section lines "C. Elections in RM cases" / "D. Elections in RD cases" and in the "v." of the versus-row labels are faint or lost in the scan but are transcribed as the printed style. Doubtful cells: panel D, row "AFL-CIO v. Local", last column ("In elections where no representative chosen") shows only a small stray mark; read as 0, which is what the row (2 elections, 2 won) and the 2-union subtotal of 10 (all from the AFL-CIO v. Teamsters row) require. Panel C, row "Total RM elections", column "Other national unions" has a stray comma-like speck before the digit; the value is 1. Em-dash rules and leader dots are rendered as empty cells; printed zeros are kept as 0. All column and row totals in both panels cross-foot correctly as printed; nothing was computed or corrected.
p. 183. This crop is the tail of a continued table (caption reads \"—Continued\"): it carries the full column headings but only one body row, the \"Total RD elections\" line; the preceding RD rows are on the earlier page. The \"Percent won\" cell prints as \"29 0\" in the scan — the decimal point is faint/dropped by the scanner — and is transcribed as \"29.0\" to match the one-decimal convention of this column; if a reader needs the literal glyphs they are \"29\", gap, \"0\". The scan renders many \"i\" characters without their dots (\"Participating\", \"unions\", \"elections\"), a known artifact of this printing; headings are given with normal spelling. The leftmost stub area carries several stray ink specks from the facing page, which are not part of the table.
