Thomas H. O'Shea
Thomas H. O'Shea (1898–1962) was an Irish revolutionary and one of the founders of the Transport Workers Union of America (TWU), subway workers in New York City that expanded to represent members in other forms of transit nationwide. O'Shea was appointed the first President of the TWU in 1934 and later ousted and replaced by longtime TWU President Michael J. Quill. O'Shea subsequently spent many years battling reported Communism within the union culminating in his 1940 testimony before the House Committee on Un-American Activities chaired by Rep. Martin Dies of Texas and commonly referred to as the Dies Committee at the time.
==Early Years in Ireland==
O'Shea was born in Queenstown (now Cobh), County Cork, Ireland on October 21, 1898 son of a former Royal Irish Constabulary officer and Royal Navy clerk Patrick O'Shea and farm owner Mary Kirby. A school trained chemist, his Irish Volunteers activity during the Irish War of Independence began in 1915 with the 1st Cork Brigade and ended shortly after the Irish Civil War came to a close in 1923. He spent several months after the official end of the war engaged in guerrilla activities. During his time in the war of independence and the Irish Civil War, he conducted numerous raids against the British Army, RIC, Black and Tans and Royal Defense Corps and manufactured land mines and grenades, using them with frequency. As the Irish Volunteers morphed into the Irish Republican Army, O'Shea was incarcerated 5 times during the wars he led a hunger strike at Wormwood Scrubs (HM Prison) in London from April to May 1920, escaped from Cork Male Prison with 30 men in August 1922 and led a 2nd hunger strike in October 1923 at Mountjoy Prison that, despite Irish Free State media suppression, spread across Ireland with 8000 jailed strikers participating. The 4th arrest was immediately after release from Mountjoy at Sinn Féin Headquarters during Dennis Barry's funeral. He escaped Cork Court House two weeks later. On May 9, 1924 he was arrested for the fifth and final time but released shortly thereafter in a general amnesty.
