It was then the union says, that Bailey noticed the overalls had been stained or dyed with"a perfect shade of green," or"an Irish green to better describe it."
"If you were watching this for the first time you would think this is a mistake or a bad joke," the union said."You see the dye is orange, and its initial color on the surface of the river is orange, and you would think to yourself what 'heathen would do something like this.'"
