795 of 795 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 177. The crop ends mid-table: the last printed row on this image is Utah, part of an unfinished Mountain division block (no divisional subtotal line for it appears here), and the table continues on the following page. No footnote texts appear on this crop, although footnote markers are printed in the caption (Elections^1) and in the headings (Division and State^2, Total elections^3); the marker on the caption is omitted per instructions, and the heading markers are retained. Column structure: 15 columns. Two spanner headings each cover four columns — "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 second Total / AFL-CIO unions / Other national unions / Other local unions. Headings that wrap with end-of-line hyphens were rejoined ("elec- tions" = elections, "no rep- resenta- tive" = no representative, "employ- ees" = employees, "choos- ing rep- resentati on" = choosing representation). Apparent misprints, transcribed as printed: for Colorado the total valid votes cast (1,624) exceeds the number of employees eligible to vote (1,322); the same holds for Idaho (101 vs. 96) and Utah (135 vs. 107). Also as printed, Mississippi shows 1,186 eligible employees in units choosing representation against only 1,291 eligible to vote in all elections while only 12 of 15 elections were won, which may be inconsistent but is reproduced verbatim. Nothing was computed or corrected.
p. 178. Suspected misprint: California, column "Number of employees eligible to vote", is printed "1,6263" with the digit-grouping comma one place too far left; transcribed exactly as printed. The Pacific division subtotal in that column (41,742) less the other Pacific states implies the intended value is 16,263, so the digits themselves are certain and only the comma placement is wrong. The crop continues Table 15B from the preceding page, so no column headings would have been reconstructed had they been absent — they are in fact reprinted here and are transcribed. There is no grand total row and no footnote block in this crop; footnote markers 2 (Division and State) and 3 (Total elections) appear in the headings but their texts are printed elsewhere. Rows "Mountain", "New England", "Outlying Areas" and "Pacific" are division subtotal lines, printed indented and set off by rules; "Mountain" sums states mostly carried over from the previous page, so only Wyoming of its members appears here. Verification: the New England, Outlying Areas and Pacific subtotals reconcile exactly with their member states in all 14 numeric columns, confirming that each value sits under the correct column.
p. 179. This is a continuation page (the caption carries "—Continued"), so the body begins mid-table with the South Atlantic division; earlier divisions appear on the preceding page(s). The final "Total, all States and areas" row is the grand total for the whole table, not a sum of the rows shown on this crop. Column headings are printed on this page and are transcribed as two levels: a top band ("Number of elections in which representation rights were won by unions" over four columns; "Valid votes cast for unions" over four columns) and a second level of "Total / AFL-CIO unions / Other national unions / Other local unions" under each band. The tall single headings (stub, "Total elections", "Number of elections in which no representative was chosen", "Number of employees eligible to vote", "Total valid votes cast", "Total votes for no union", "Eligible employees in units choosing representation") are repeated in both levels. The last column heading is set with line-break hyphens as "Eligible employ-ees in units choos-ing rep-resentati on"; it is joined here as "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". The three division subtotal rows (South Atlantic, West North Central, West South Central) and the grand-total row are indented in the original; indentation is not preserved in the cell text. The stub is printed "District Of Columbia" with a capital "O", transcribed as printed. All three displayed division subtotals check out as exact sums of their listed member States in every column; no misprints were detected in the portion shown.
