Reader’s notes

p. 142. 14 columns. The crop cuts the table off after the "Other national unions" row of panel B ("Elections in RC cases"); the rest of section B and any further sections continue on the following page, and no footnote text is printed on this crop (so `footnotes` is empty even though the caption carries a raised 1 and the "Total elections" heading a raised 2). Many data cells hold a printed double hyphen "--" (the typesetter's no-data rule, as distinct from a printed 0, which this table also uses). Following the rule that a dash rule is an empty cell, every "--" has been transcribed as "". Affected cells, by row and column: AFL-CIO (section A) — Other national unions, Other local unions, In units won by: Other national unions, In units won by: Other local unions; Other local unions (A) — AFL-CIO unions (both the "Elections won by unions" and the "In units won by" groups); Other national unions (A) — AFL-CIO unions (both groups), Other local unions (both groups); AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO; AFL-CIO v. Local; AFL-CIO v. National; Local v. Local; National v. Local; National v. National; the five 3-or-more-union rows; and the AFL-CIO, Other local unions and Other national unions rows of section B. Where a 0 is printed instead (e.g. "AFL-CIO v. Local v. Local", AFL-CIO unions = 0; "National v. Local v. Local", Other national unions = 0), the 0 is kept. "A. All representation elections" and "B. Elections in RC cases" are centred section lines spanning the table; they carry a label and no values. The section-B AFL-CIO label is printed without leader dots, unlike the others; this has no effect on the text. All printed subtotals and the "Total representation elections" line add up exactly from the detail rows in every one of the 13 numeric columns, which corroborates the digits as read. Nothing is illegible.

p. 143. Crop is a continuation page ("—Continued" in the caption): it opens mid-table with the "1-union elections" subtotal of the RC section, the individual 1-union detail rows having been printed on the previous page. The bottom of the crop is cut off — the RM section continues past the last transcribed row ("AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO", 4 / 50.0 / 2 ...); further rows and any footnote block are not on this image, so `footnotes` is empty even though superscript markers 1 (caption) and 2 ("Total elections") are printed. Dash convention: many cells carry a printed short dash "--" (meaning none/not applicable). Following the rule that a dash rule is an empty cell, these are transcribed as "". The table distinguishes these from a printed "0", which is kept as 0 — e.g. in "AFL-CIO v. Local v. Local" the AFL-CIO-unions column shows 0 while the other-national column shows "--". "C. Elections in RM cases" is a centered section line spanning the full width, with no values. All visible internal arithmetic checks out (the 2-union, 3-union, Total RC and RM 1-union subtotals equal the sums of their component rows in every column), which supports the column assignment; no misprints detected.

p. 144. The crop is a continuation page: the caption carries marker 1 and the "Total elections" heading carries marker 2, but no footnote texts are printed on this image, so `footnotes` is empty. The first three body rows (AFL-CIO v. Local, 2-union elections, Total RM elections) finish section C (elections in RM cases), which begins on the previous page; the "D. Elections in RD cases" banner row is centred across the full table width and carries no values. Empty data cells are printed in this report as a short dash rule "--" (the report's symbol for none/not applicable); following the dash-rule convention these are transcribed as "", while a printed "0" is kept as "0" — the two are visually distinct throughout the image and no data cell is truly blank. All totals check out as printed: the 1-union, 2-union, Total RD and Total RM lines sum correctly from their components in every column. Image is clean and fully legible; no cell is doubtful and nothing is cut off by the crop except the footnote block below the table.
