791 of 792 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out. 3 cells break a sum: 'California', column 10: prints 6,630, columns 11 to 13 add to 6,330; 'California', column 9: prints 13,897, the subtotals in columns 10 to 14 add to 14,197; 'Pacific', column 10: prints 11,407, rows 'Washington' to 'Guam' add to 11,707.
p. 172. The stub heading carries a raised footnote marker ("Division and State^1"), but no footnote text is printed within this crop, so `footnotes` is empty; the note presumably appears at the end of the table on a later page. The crop ends after the "West North Central" division total: the remaining divisions (South Atlantic, East/West South Central, Mountain, Pacific) and any grand total are cut off and continue on following pages. The division subtotal rows (New England, Middle Atlantic, East North Central, West North Central) are printed indented and set off by rules; they are transcribed as ordinary rows in reading order. Blank spacing lines between the divisions are not rows and were not transcribed. All four division subtotals were checked against their component states and every column foots exactly as printed; no suspected misprints. No illegible or doubtful cells — the scan is clean, apart from the usual dotless-i artifact of the typeface (e.g. "Illinois", "Michigan"), which was transcribed as normal text.
p. 173. The crop is cut off at the bottom: the Mountain division block (Montana through Nevada) ends with Nevada and its "Mountain" subtotal row, plus any remaining divisions (Pacific) and the footnote text, fall below the crop. The stub heading carries a raised 1 ("Division and State^1"), but the corresponding footnote is not printed on this image, so `footnotes` is empty. This is a "—Continued" page of Table 15B, so the table also continues above the crop (New England through East North Central etc. appear on the preceding page). Arithmetic cross-checks all pass as transcribed: each division subtotal (South Atlantic, East South Central, West South Central) equals the sum of its member states in every one of the 14 numeric columns, and in every row "Total votes for no union" equals "Total valid votes cast" minus "Valid votes cast for unions: Total". No misprints detected. Two cells worth flagging for legibility, though both are confirmed by the arithmetic: Delaware "Other local unions" under valid votes cast is 1 (266 = 265 + 0 + 1), and Utah "AFL-CIO unions" under elections won is 0 with 1 in "Other local unions" (total 1).
p. 174. The crop is a continuation page: it opens with the "Mountain" division subtotal row, so the individual Mountain states appear on the preceding page. Column headings are printed on this page and are transcribed. Doubtful cell: California, "Valid votes cast for unions — Total". I read the printed figure as 6,630, but it is internally inconsistent: the row's own components (5,850 + 260 + 220) sum to 6,330, and the Pacific subtotal 11,407 in that column equals the sum of the state values only if California is 6,330 (the state totals as read sum to 11,707). The glyph in question (second digit, 3 vs 6) is not fully legible at this scan resolution; it is transcribed as read and should be verified. All other columns of the Pacific and Outlying Areas subtotals reconcile exactly with their component rows. Guam shows only 3 elections but 2,660 employees eligible to vote and 2,277 valid votes cast, with just 180 eligible employees in units choosing representation. These figures look anomalous but are confirmed by the Pacific subtotals (28,521 and 24,618), so they are transcribed as printed. The stub heading "Division and State" carries footnote marker 1; it is recorded as "Division and State^1" in both heading levels.
