Former Resident Here Men, toned for Staff of COm= missioner Tone - Sur= prise OccasiOned Here as He Is Said to Be Sup= ported By Local Officials
MUCH COMMENT
 OVER SITUATION

William Monagan of Hamden, formerly of Waterbury, was prom inently mentioned here to-day as one of the candidates for a place on the staff of Labor Commissioner elect Joseph Tone of New Haven. Com- nient on Mir Monagans candidacy was very apparent locally this morn ing due to the report, which was later verified, that he has received the endorsement of some Waterbury democratic leaders.
 This city has several seeking one or more posts on the staff of Labor Commissioner Tone. Therefore, with these local democratic leaders endorsing a former resident rather than Waterbury man, an unusual situation is created, it is felt, judging from comment heard.
 Town Chairman John H. Crary, when talked with to-day, stated that h. had written letter to MT Tone, recommending MT Monagan very highly. In the letter MT Monagan's record as a democrat in Waterbury when he lived here is pointed out ard his excellent character is also praised.
 MT Crary when talked with, how ever, explained that he merely rec commended MT Monagan for appoint mont providing the appointment is recognized as being rendered the democrats of Hamden. He stated that Waterbury has several of it's own candidates who should be talk en care of first before it must get behind any former resident.
 Reports to-day were also to the effect that few well known demo- crats of Waterbury have endorsed Mir Monagan and feel that he should be given the post on the staff of Mir Tone because of his local con- nsctions and regardless of the possi- bIlity of actual residents of the city being pushed out of the list of ap- pointees now being formulated by the labor commissioners elect.

 Unable to account for the phenomena to the satisfaction of curious wives, some of the men telephoned to their foreman. Mike Furcy. His explanation of the color scheme was something like this:
 The men spent the day loading 400 tons of INT into tho hold of the S. s. Nitro and the tinging of their hair was due to the minute particles of the explosive in the air in the ships hold. He said they had been paid double for their time, $14.A5 per day and that for that amount most men "would be willing to have their noses painted green"
