680 of 680 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 149. The crop shows only the manufacturing portion of the table, ending with the "Manufacturing" subtotal rule; the nonmanufacturing section and the footnote texts (the stub heading carries a raised "1") are not on this image, so `footnotes` is empty. The stub heading reads "Industrial group" with a raised 1 marker. "AFL-CIO" is set with an en-dash-like hyphen in the headings; transcribed with a plain hyphen. In the "Ship and boat building and repairing" row a small ink speck sits just left of 311 in the last column ("Eligible employees in units choosing no representation"); it is not a footnote marker or digit, and the value is 311. All fifteen columns were cross-checked arithmetically: every column of the 21 industry rows sums exactly to the printed "Manufacturing" line, and the within-row identities (won + no representative = total elections; union votes + no-union votes = total valid votes cast; AFL-CIO + other national + other local = union totals) hold throughout, so no misprints are suspected.
p. 150. The crop is a "—Continued" page: column headings are printed, but the table body continues past the bottom edge of the image. The last transcribed row ("Museums, art galleries, botanical and zoological gardens") sits on the bottom margin and its digits are slightly clipped at the baseline, though all are legible; further rows and the services subtotal fall on the following page. The stub heading carries a raised "1" (transcribed as "Industrial group^1"), but the footnote text itself is not printed within this crop. Structure: 15 columns. Two spanner headings cover four columns each — "Number of elections in which representation rights were won by unions" over Total / AFL-CIO unions / Other national unions / Other local unions, and "Valid votes cast for unions" over the same four sub-headings. The remaining headings are tall single-level headings repeated in both header levels. "AFL-CIO" is set with an en-dash-like rule between AFL and CIO; transcribed with a hyphen. Row ordering/indentation: "Mining" and "Transportation, communication, and other utilities" are indented subtotal lines, set off by rules. The block Construction / Wholesale trade / Retail trade / Finance, insurance, and real estate / U.S. Postal Service has no subtotal line printed. "Local and suburban transit and interurban highway passenger transportation" is printed over two lines with an end-of-line hyphen ("transporta- tion"), joined here. Arithmetic verification (not corrections — nothing was altered): every row's won-by-unions Total equals the sum of its three union columns, Total elections equals won + no-representative, and valid votes cast equals union votes + no-union votes. Both subtotal rows ("Mining", "Transportation, communication, and other utilities") equal the sums of their member rows in all 14 numeric columns. No discrepancies found, which corroborates the column assignment.
p. 151. This crop is the final page of Table 16, continued from earlier pages: the body opens mid-list with the last three service industries, then the "Services" major-group line, "Public administration", and the grand total. The three indented rows ("Services", "Public administration", "Total, all industrial groups") are printed indented and set off by rules, as in the original. The scan carries two stray ink marks that are not part of the data: a small comma-like mark in the heading band above the stub, and a bracket-like mark ")" at the left edge of the "AFL-CIO unions" (elections won) cell of the "Public administration" row, just before the value 10. I read that cell as 10 and treat the mark as a scanning artifact, not a footnote marker or digit. "AFL-CIO" renders in this 1-bit scan with a wavy hyphen (AFL~CIO); it is the standard AFL-CIO hyphen. All printed row and column arithmetic checks out internally (e.g. 1,451+78+136=1,665; 1,665+1,907=3,572; 78,253+4,129+5,961=88,343; 88,343+97,411=185,754), so no misprints are suspected.
