Industrial Distribution of Representation Elections Held in Cases Closed, Fiscal Year 1996

p. 161. The crop shows only the manufacturing portion of Table 16; the table continues (nonmanufacturing industries and the grand total) on the following page(s), so the body ends with the "Manufacturing" subtotal row. The stub heading carries a superscript 1, but the footnote text itself is not printed within this crop, hence `footnotes` is empty. In the "Miscellaneous manufacturing industries" row, a stray comma-like speck follows 1,111 in the "Total votes for no union" column; it is printer noise, not part of the number, and the value is transcribed as 1,111. All rows check out internally (won + no-representative = total elections; AFL-CIO + other national + other local = union totals; union votes + no-union votes = total valid votes cast), so no misprints are suspected.

p. 162. Continuation page of Table 16 (the "—Continued" caption is on the image); column headings are reprinted here, so they are transcribed. 15 columns: stub, "Total elections", the four "elections won by unions" columns, "no representative chosen", "employees eligible to vote", "total valid votes cast", the four "valid votes cast for unions" columns, "total votes for no union", and "eligible employees in units choosing representation". The table is cut off at the bottom of the crop: "Miscellaneous repair services" is the last row printed on this image (its descenders are slightly clipped but the label and all values are legible), and the services-group subtotal and any later industrial groups continue on the following page. The stub heading carries footnote marker 1 ("Industrial group^1"), but no footnote text is printed within this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. The Construction / Wholesale trade / Retail trade / Finance, insurance, and real estate / U.S. Postal Service block is set off by rules but has no printed subtotal line; nothing is missing there. "Mining" and "Transportation, communication, and other utilities" are indented subtotal rows and are transcribed with their printed indentation dropped. Verification: every internal check passes as printed — elections won + no-representative = total elections in all 27 rows; union votes + no-union votes = total valid votes in all rows; AFL-CIO + other national + other local = the union totals; and both subtotal rows ("Mining" over its 4 components, "Transportation, communication, and other utilities" over its 6) reproduce exactly in all 14 numeric columns. No misprints detected. Minor typographic points: "AFL-CIO" is set with a dash that scans as an en dash; it is written with a plain hyphen here. Several numbers are printed with a space after the comma or inside the digits (e.g. "1 10" in Educational services, "Other local unions"), and are written closed up as instructed. A few stray ink specks sit beside values (e.g. before 832 in Communication, "Total" valid votes for unions, and before 27,463 in the transportation subtotal); they are printer noise, not footnote markers or digits.

p. 163. This crop is the final page of a table continued from earlier pages (the caption carries "—Continued"), so the body begins mid-list of service industries; the "Services" subtotal row and the "Total, all industrial groups" row cover industry rows printed on the preceding pages that are not in this image. The column headings are reprinted in full on this page and are transcribed above. The table is printed as a single panel, 15 columns wide. "Number of elections in which no representative was chosen", "Number of employees eligible to vote", "Total valid votes cast", "Total votes for no union" and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" are tall single headings spanning both heading levels, as are the stub heading and "Total elections". All cells are clearly legible. Stray leader dots appear just left of the "17" and the "0" in the "Public administration" row; they are leader-dot/speckle artifacts, not digits or markers. Internal arithmetic checks out in every row (union sub-columns sum to the union total, and union total plus votes for no union equals total valid votes cast; elections won plus elections with no representative equals total elections), so no misprints are suspected.
