795 of 795 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 140. The crop is the first page of a multi-page table: it ends after the "West North Central" division subtotal, so the remaining divisions and any grand-total line are not on this image. The stub heading carries footnote marker 1 ("Division and State^1"), but no footnote text is printed within the crop (it appears on a later page of the table), so `footnotes` is empty. Column structure: 15 columns. The four columns under "Number of elections in which representation rights were won by unions" (Total, AFL-CIO, Other national, Other local) and the four under "Valid votes cast for unions" share the same sub-heading wording; they are distinguished only by position, so the election counts occupy columns 2-5 and the vote counts columns 9-12. The division subtotal rows (New England, Middle Atlantic, East North Central, West North Central) are printed indented and set off by rules; their labels are transcribed as printed without the indent. Leader dots after state names were dropped. Internal checks: every division subtotal equals the sum of its member states in all 14 numeric columns, and in every row total valid votes cast equals votes for unions plus votes for no union, and union election wins equal AFL-CIO plus other national plus other local. No arithmetic inconsistencies or suspected misprints were found. All digits were legible; no doubtful cells.
p. 141. The crop is a continuation page (caption reads "—Continued"); column headings are reprinted on it and are transcribed above. 15 printed columns. The stub heading carries a raised 1 ("Division and State^1"), but no footnote text is printed under the table on this crop — the footnote appears on another page of the table, so `footnotes` is empty. The indented rows South Atlantic, East South Central, West South Central and Mountain are division subtotal rows; their labels are transcribed without the indentation. The table continues past the bottom of the crop: the Mountain division subtotal is the last printed line, and the Pacific division states that would follow are not on this image. The region above (the New England / Middle Atlantic / East North Central / West North Central divisions and Delaware's preceding states) is likewise on earlier pages. All arithmetic checks pass as printed: each state's valid votes = union votes + no-union votes, union total = AFL-CIO + other national + other local, and every division subtotal equals the sum of its states in all 14 numeric columns. No suspected misprints. No cells were illegible; the scan is clean, though the printed apostrophe-like dot accents (e.g. "Mississippi", "Wyoming") are scanner artifacts of the dotted i and are not transcribed as marks.
p. 142. This crop is the final (continued) page of Table 15A, so it shows only the Pacific division, the Outlying Areas and the grand-total line; the earlier divisions are on preceding pages. Column headings are reprinted on this page and are transcribed above. Fifteen columns: stub, total elections, four "won by unions" columns, elections with no representative chosen, employees eligible to vote, total valid votes cast, four "valid votes cast for unions" columns, total votes for no union, and eligible employees in units choosing representation. "Pacific" and "Outlying Areas" are indented subtotal lines set off by rules; their indentation is not reproduced in the cell text. The scan renders several i/ti ligatures imperfectly (e.g. "Califorma" for California, "Hawau" for Hawaii, "Virgm" for Virgin, "Division" as "Divlsion"); these are read as the intended words. All printed subtotals and the Pacific/Outlying Areas lines are internally consistent with their component rows; the grand-total line includes rows from earlier pages and was not checked.
