801 of 801 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 149. The table has 15 columns: stub, "Total elections", a four-column spanner "Number of elections in which representation rights were won by unions" (Total / AFL-CIO unions / Other national unions / Other local unions), three tall single columns ("Number of elections in which no representative was chosen", "Number of employees eligible to vote", "Total valid votes cast"), a four-column spanner "Valid votes cast for unions" (same four sub-headings), then "Total votes for no union" and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". The stub heading carries a superscript footnote marker 1 ("Division and State^1"), but no footnote text is printed within the crop, so `footnotes` is empty; the note text presumably sits below the cut or on a continuation page. The crop ends with a double rule under the "West North Central" subtotal. The remaining census divisions (South Atlantic, East/West South Central, Mountain, Pacific) and the national total are not on this image, so the table is cut off and continues elsewhere. The indented division rows (New England, Middle Atlantic, East North Central, West North Central) are subtotal lines; their indentation is not reproduced in the labels. All cells are legible; as a check, every state row's union-win components sum to its "Total", total elections equal wins plus no-representative elections, union votes plus no-union votes equal total valid votes, and each division subtotal equals the sum of its states — all consistent as transcribed, so no misprints were detected.
p. 150. Continuation page of Table 15B (15 columns, 2 heading levels). The stub heading carries a raised 1 ("Division and State^1"), but no footnote text is printed on this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. The crop ends after Nevada, in the middle of the Mountain division: that division's remaining rows and its subtotal line fall on the following page and are not shown. The three subtotal lines ("South Atlantic", "East South Central", "West South Central") are printed indented and set off by rules; their labels are given as printed. All printed values are transcribed as printed; as a sanity check only, every column of each of the three subtotals equals the sum of its division's states, and each state's total elections equals (elections won by unions) + (elections with no representative chosen), so no internal inconsistency was observed.
p. 151. This is a continuation page: 15 columns, headings printed in full, but the body begins with the indented "Mountain" division subtotal line whose constituent State rows appear on the preceding page. The "Pacific" and "Outlying Areas" rows are likewise indented division/area subtotals. "PuertoRico" is printed as one word, without a space, and is transcribed as printed. All cells are crisp; the arithmetic of the Pacific, Outlying Areas and grand-total lines is internally consistent with the State rows shown, which supports the column alignment.
