Reader’s notes

p. 166. Fourteen columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then six columns under "Valid votes cast in elections won" (Votes for unions: Total, AFL-CIO unions, Teamsters, Other national unions, Other local unions; plus "Total votes for no union") and the same six under "Valid votes cast in elections lost". "A. All representation elections" is a centered section line spanning the data columns; it is transcribed as a label-only row. Its "A." lettering implies a part B of this table continues on a following page, which is outside this crop. The many long em-dash rules used for not-applicable cells are transcribed as empty cells, per instruction; printed zeros are kept as 0. In the row "Teamsters v. Local" the "Other national unions" cell under elections won looks blank rather than dash-ruled, and in "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. Local" and "AFL-CIO v. Local v. Local" the "Other national unions" cell under elections lost is similarly faint; either way those cells are empty. The caption carries footnote marker 1, but no footnote text is printed within this crop (the image ends just below the "Total representation elections" line), so `footnotes` is empty. Arithmetic check (not used to alter any cell): every row's four components (won-for-unions total, won-for-no-union, lost-for-unions total, lost-for-no-union) sum to the printed "Total valid votes cast", every union-detail column sums to its printed "Total", and the three subtotal rows sum to the printed "Total representation elections" in all 13 numeric columns. No misprints detected. "AFL-CIO" is printed with an en-dash-like hyphen; transcribed with a plain hyphen. Hyphenated headings ("Team-sters", "Other na-tional unions") were rejoined.

p. 167. The crop is a continuation page: section A is not on this image, and section C is cut off after its "1-union elections" subtotal (the 2-union and 3-or-more-union blocks and the RM total continue on the following page). The caption carries footnote marker 1, but no footnote text is printed on this crop. Dash rules ("——") stand for "none" throughout and are transcribed as empty cells; printed zeros are kept as 0. The distinction between a dash rule and a printed 0 is legible everywhere I checked. Two stray ink marks, read as scanner artifacts and not transcribed: a small dot immediately left of "354" in the "3 (or more)-union elections" row (Total valid votes cast column), and a small dot immediately left of "29" in the section C "Other local unions" row (last column, Total votes for no union under elections lost). Neither reads as a footnote marker, since markers in this report are raised and these sit on the baseline. "National v. Local v Local" is transcribed as printed, with the period missing after the second "v". All subtotals and totals were cross-checked against their components and every one of them adds correctly: the 1-union, 2-union, 3-or-more-union and Total RC election lines in section B across all 13 numeric columns, and the 1-union line in section C. No misprints found.

p. 168. Continuation page: the crop opens in the middle of the RM-elections section (the 1-union rows of that section and the section banner "C. Elections in RM cases" fall on the preceding page), so the first four body rows belong to the RM block that ends with "Total RM elections". The banner row "D. Elections in RD cases" is printed centred across the data columns and carries no values; it is given with its label in the stub and empty cells elsewhere. 14 columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then two six-column panels ("...elections won" and "...elections lost"), each made of five "Votes for unions" columns plus a "Total votes for no union" column. Em-dash rules ("——") that mark not-applicable cells are transcribed as "" throughout; printed zeros are kept as 0. In several rows a dash and a 0 sit in adjacent columns (e.g. "AFL-CIO v. Local" in both sections, "Teamsters v. Local v. Local"), and the 0 was placed by aligning it to the column rule rather than to the neighbouring entries. The footnote line is clipped by the bottom edge of the crop: only the upper portion of the glyphs is visible. The reading "1 See Glossary for definitions of terms." is the best fit to the visible letter shapes and matches the superscript 1 on the caption, but it is partly inferred. Arithmetic checks pass on every subtotal and total: 7+49+3=59 and 1-union + 2-union sums reconcile for RM; for RD, 29,119+798+469=30,386, 8,356+742+465=9,563, 6,983+352+329=7,664, 1,208+100+32=1,340, 86+290+104=480, 4,697+15+4=4,716, 5,368+10+0=5,378, 258+10+0=268, 10,698+31+0=10,729. Row-wise the four 1-union rows also reconcile (e.g. AFL-CIO: 6,983+3,988+3,956+7,207=22,134). No misprints detected.
