Cornelius P. Shea (September 7, 1872 – January 12, 1929) was an American labor leader and organized crime figure. He was the founding president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, holding the position from 1903 until 1907. He became involved with the Chicago Outfit, and although he was indicted many times, he usually escaped conviction. After a short prison term for attempted murder removed him from union affairs, Shea was appointed secretary-treasurer of the Mafia-dominated Theatrical Janitors' Union in Chicago. ==Early life== Cornelius Shea〔The press would later refuse to use his full name, calling him instead by the nickname "Con" to emphasize his alleged crimes. Many scholars and historians still do not employ his full name in books or papers.〕 was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on September 27, 1872, to James and Mary Shea, Irish immigrants. His father owned his own tipcart and collected garbage for a living. Shea attended public elementary school, then dropped out after the sixth grade to work for his father.〔"Shea, Head of the Teamsters, Has Risen From A Tip-Cart Man," ''Boston Daily Globe,'' December 2, 1906.〕〔"Shea Beaten By 10 Votes," ''Boston Daily Globe,'' August 10, 1907.〕 Little is known about Shea's life between 1884 and 1894. But at the age of 22, Shea married 19-year-old Mary "Minnie" Lyons, the daughter of Irish immigrants Patrick and Margaret (Reagan) Lyons. The Sheas married in Cambridge on May 27, 1895. The couple had five children. The three sons did not survive infancy, but the two daughters (Margaret and Genevieve) did.〔"Prison for Teamster Shea," ''Chicago Daily Tribune,'' July 24, 1908.〕
