788 of 788 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 162. 15 columns. The stub heading carries footnote marker 1 ("Division and State^1"), but no footnote text is printed on this crop — the footnote presumably appears at the end of the table on a later page, so `footnotes` is empty. The crop ends after the "West North Central" division subtotal; the table continues (South Atlantic and later divisions) on the following page. The body is organized by census division: a block of state rows followed by an indented division subtotal row (New England, Middle Atlantic, East North Central, West North Central). The division subtotal rows are transcribed in the same stub column as the state rows (the indentation is not preserved). Every row was checked arithmetically and all cross-foots are internally consistent: col1 = col2 + col6; col2 = col3 + col4 + col5; col9 = col10 + col11 + col12; col9 + col13 = col8; and each division subtotal equals the sum of its state rows in all 14 numeric columns. No misprints detected. Two coincidences worth flagging so they are not read as transcription slips: Pennsylvania's "AFL-CIO unions" valid votes (5,878) and its "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" (5,878) are the same number, and both are confirmed by the Middle Atlantic column sums. South Dakota's "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" is a single digit, 5; it is confirmed by the West North Central total of 5,433. The scan renders dotted i's faintly in some state names (e.g. Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Wisconsin, Connecticut), but all row labels are legible and unambiguous. Leader dots after the row labels were dropped.
p. 163. Continuation page of Table 15B (the caption carries "—Continued"); 15 columns, confirmed from the column rules. The stub heading carries a raised 1 ("Division and State^1"), but the text of footnote 1 is not printed on this crop — it appears on another page of the table, so `footnotes` is empty. The crop is cut off at the bottom: the double rule under the "Mountain" subtotal is visible, but the remaining divisions (Pacific, etc.) and any grand total are below the crop and not transcribed. The division subtotal rows (South Atlantic, East South Central, West South Central, Mountain) are indented in the printing; their labels are transcribed without the indent. All four subtotals and every column of them add up exactly to the state rows above them, which is a strong check on the digits and on the column each one sits in. The scan is a 1-bit halftone and the dot over "i" is often lost (e.g. "Virginia", "Mississippi", "District of Columbia" print as "Virgima", "Mississippi" with broken dots); state names are transcribed with their standard spelling. The headings print "AFL–CIO" with an en dash; transcribed as "AFL-CIO". No cell was illegible or doubtful.
p. 164. This is the final (continuation) page of Table 15B: it carries only the Pacific division, the Outlying Areas, and the grand-total line, so the earlier divisions appear on preceding pages. Column headings are printed on this page and are transcribed above. Row-label readings: the third row prints with a broken "rn"/"m" ligature in the scan ("Califomia"); it is California. The grand-total stub reads "Total, all States and area" — the final character before the leader dots is faint and could be a worn "areas"; transcribed as it appears. Indented rows "Pacific" and "Outlying Areas" are subtotal lines set off by horizontal rules; they are transcribed in the stub column like the state rows. All subtotal and the two subtotal rows were checked against their component states and the printed figures are internally consistent (e.g. Pacific 89+59+322+15+33+2 = 520; Outlying Areas 60+6 = 66). No arithmetic was altered. Nothing is cut off by the crop except the caption and page furniture, which were omitted as instructed.
