818 of 818 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 239. The caption marks this as "Page 1 of 3", and the body is cut off by the page break: the last printed row is Massachusetts, part of a New England division whose remaining States and divisional subtotal continue on the following page. There is no "Total" line on this image. The indented rows East North Central, East South Central, Middle Atlantic and Mountain are divisional subtotal lines (set off by double rules); their labels are transcribed without the printed indentation. Column 1 ("Total elections"), column 7 ("Number of employees eligible to vote") and column 14 ("Eligible employees in units choosing representation") are printed without digit-grouping commas throughout (e.g. 11840, 35071, 49432, 17693, 25028), unlike the vote columns, which do use commas; both styles are transcribed as printed. All printed row and column arithmetic I checked is internally consistent (won + no-representative = total elections; union votes + no-union votes = total valid votes cast; AFL–CIO + other national + other local = union totals; State rows sum to each divisional subtotal), so no misprints are suspected. All cells were legible; no doubtful digits.
p. 240. This crop is page 2 of 3 of Table 15A, so the body is a continuation: the New England division's earlier States (and whatever divisions precede them) are on the previous page, and the division that begins with Delaware/District Of Columbia (South Atlantic) is cut off after North Carolina and continues on the next page. The division subtotal rows "New England", "Outlying Areas" and "Pacific" are printed indented and set off by horizontal rules; they are transcribed with their own wording and no indentation marker. All cells are clearly legible; no doubtful digits. Every row's printed figures are internally consistent (component union columns sum to their "Total", and union total plus "no union" equals total valid votes), so no misprints are suspected. The last column's heading is printed hyphenated across lines as "Eligible employ-ees in units choos-ing rep-resentati on" and has been rejoined as "Eligible employees in units choosing representation". "AFL–CIO" is printed with an en dash.
p. 241. This crop is the final page (page 3 of 3) of Table 15A; the divisions and States preceding "South Carolina", and the earlier part of the South Atlantic division, are printed on the two previous pages. The column headings are repeated on this page, so they are transcribed here. The stub heading carries a superscript footnote marker 1 ("Division and State^1"), but no footnote text is printed anywhere in this crop, so `footnotes` is empty; the note text presumably appears on an earlier page of the table. Two columns are typeset without digit-grouping commas throughout — "Number of employees eligible to vote" (e.g. 1485, 2413, 22309, 13957, 192958) and "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" (e.g. 1670, 12993, 3604, 96150) — while the other numeric columns use commas. These are transcribed exactly as printed, with no commas added. Heading wording restored from line breaks: "Total elec-/tions" = "Total elections"; "Number of elec-/tions in which no represen-/ta-/tive was chosen" = "Number of elections in which no representative was chosen"; "Number of em-/ployees eligible to vote" = "Number of employees eligible to vote"; "Eligible employ-/ees in units choos-/ing rep-/resentati/on" = "Eligible employees in units choosing representation" (the last break, "representati"/"on", is printed without a hyphen). "AFL–CIO" is printed with an en dash broken across lines; written here as "AFL-CIO". No misprints detected. Every arithmetic relation in the table checks out: the three division subtotal rows (South Atlantic for the rows shown, West North Central, West South Central) and the grand total equal the sums of their component States in all 14 numeric columns; within each row, wins Total = AFL-CIO + other national + other local, total elections = wins + no-representative, union votes Total = AFL-CIO + other national + other local, and total valid votes cast = union votes + votes for no union.
