Union Leader
Tobin Dies at 83
INDIANAPOLIS, <#)—Daniel J.
Tobin, Irish immigrant boy who
became head of the biggest Amer
ican labor union, died Monday
night of high blood pressure and
heart disease.
The president of the AFL Team
sters Union from 1907 until 1952
was 83 years old but didn’t know
the exact date of his birth in Ire
land’s County Clare.
Tobin was a close friend of
President Franklin D. Roosevelt
and headed the labor division of
the Democratic National Commit
tee in each of FDR’s election cam
paigns.
He fought Communism, urged
his followers to consider the strike
only as a weapon of last resort,
and advocated merger of the AFL
and CIO. He was a man of strong
opinions in his 45 years as head of
the teamsters, but his conception
of craft unionism finally was
swallowed up by the unlimited
jurisdiction policy of Dave Beck
of Seattle, who succeeded him.
Tobin came to the U.S. in 1890
and made $11 a week on one of
his first jobs. The Teamsters’ Un
ion paid him $30,000' a year and
traveling expenses, and provided
a winter home for him in Miami
Beach, Fla. He also had a summer
home in New England in addition
to his permanent residence in
Indianapolis.
When he became president
emeritus, he and Beck each were
given salaries of $50,000 a year.

Geneva Meeting
(Continued trom Page One)
evaluate its results against the
background of his vast knowledge
and abhorrence of war and his
dedication to the cause of a just
and durable peace.”
Dulles said he thought that the
Geneva meeting had not been
“wholly barren.” And he ex
pressed hope for better results in
the future, saying that after long
years in international diplomacy
he is not “easily discouraged.”
“The government and people of
the United States,” Dulles told
Molotov, “want to develop better
relations with the Soviet nation.
“Our hope for the future derives
from our belief that the Soviet
government will sooner or later
come to see that the advantage for
it in better relations with the
Western powers Is far better than
local and passing advantages
which ii could gain at the price of
forfeiting the good relations which
at the summit conference the So
viet rulers seemed to want!”
Dulles covered the discussions
here point by point with summar
izing comments beginning with
the problems of German unifica
tion and European security.
He said the Russian refusal
“even to contemplate free elec
tions in East Germany” serves to
highlight “as no words could the
situation throughout eastern Eur
ope.”
“If the so-called German Demo
cratic Republic,” he said, “cannot
stand the test of a peoples’ choice,
no more than can the regimes im
posed on the peoples of eastern
Europe.”
