That looks like crocheting.

This is part of Hine's series of "National Child Labor Committee" photographs. I understand from original captions for this photograph that the subjects are creating Irish lace, which I believe uses crochet techniques.

This child labor series is very interesting. This was all going on just 100 years ago. I lived in Somerville for several years. There is no Warren Street in Somerville now. There is a Warren Ave but it seems like an unlikely location for this kind of activity. South Street seems right.

There is, in fact, a Warren Street right around the corner from South Street, though it may be located in Cambridge? It's on the city line. See Google Maps here: 39 Warren St, Cambridge. There even seem to be a couple of brick garages on the street that could date from the 1910s.
