By eighteen, he immigrated to the United States and found work as a coal miner, but was blacklisted from the coal industry in Pennsylvania and Ohio for union organizing.

After being blacklisted, he moved to Indian Territory to find work and unionize miners.

At some point in his life, he lost both legs in a mining accident.
