The men appear to be chipping away and removing compressed snow and ice from the cobblestones. Note the pile of picks and shovels lying in front of the lumber company, possibly for volunteers to use. Interestingly, a coat hanging in the centre right of the picture appears to be hanging from a faint white line which traverses the picture, and is more visible under magnification.
