Children getting something to drink inside the State Relief Administration's Vermont District office, a crowd of older children and adults wait in the background. Outside the office, picketers had gathered to protest a, seemingly arbitrary, 40% reduction in the checks paid to unemployed relief cases taken care of by the S.R.A.
