The committee notes that "The latest goernment report on the wages of women in the stores in New York gives an average salary of $6.07; of these 7.9 per cent were women "adrift"; ie who had no working relatives who could help in any emergency. Of the women living at home, 84 per cent gave every cent to their families." The Committee was committed to passing legislation to help these workers and to help them organize unions as well.
