He worked in the Pittsburgh coal mines before becoming secretary of the United Mine Workers of America in 1888. He worked to improve working conditions in the mines and factories before being appointed Commissioner of Immigration at the Canadian-American border in 1898 and in 1905 Commissioner of Immigration at the Port of New York, headquartered at Ellis Island. He was a tireless campaigner to prevent immigrant abuses and exploitation, and his policy was 'Objection to entry into the United States should be made solely on the ground of personal or individual inadmissibility, and never on the basis of nationality, race or creed.' He later went on to become a successful businessman, owning Watchorn Petroleum and Alma Oil, before retiring to Redlands in California, and partly as a result of his staunch Methodism became a major philanthropic donator to churches and charities in the US and UK.
