Martin Patrick Durkin
Martin Patrick Durkin (March 18, 1894 – November 13, 1955) was a U.S. administrator. He served as Secretary of Labor from January 21, 1953 to September 10, 1953, where he was the "plumber" of President Dwight Eisenhower's "Nine Millionaires and a Plumber" cabinet.
==Biography==
Durkin was born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 18, 1894, the son of James J. Durkin and Mary Catherine (''née'' Higgins). At the age of 17, Durkin became involved in the plumber's and pipe fitter's union.〔 On August 29, 1921, Durkin married the former Anna H. McNicholas. They had three sons: Martin Patrick, Jr., William Joseph and John Francis Durkin. He eventually became president of that union, and then served as Director of Labor for the State of Illinois from 1933 to 1941. He worked closely with the President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins.
Durkin served as the Secretary of Labor during the Eisenhower administration. A Democrat among Republicans, he unsuccessfully pushed for his revisions in the Taft-Hartley Act. This led to his resignation after less than eight months in office, the shortest tenure of any Secretary of Labor.〔https://www.dol.gov/oasam/programs/history/durkin.htm〕
He died in Washington D.C., from complications of cancer surgery. He was interred in St. Mary Catholic Cemetery in Evergreen Park, Illinois.〔http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=Durkin&GSiman=1&GScid=107988&GRid=22904247&〕
