Book Description
Busy practitioners will benefit from this first practical guide to international trademark treaties with specific instructions for how to use treaties to obtain and enforce trademark rights throughout the world. International Trademark Treaties with Commentary organizes and clarifies the
confusing multiplicity of international trademark treaties, with up-to-date information on the purpose of each treaty, substantive rights and procedures covered, enforcement provisions, member countries, and how you can use it in designing your trademark strategies.
A few international trademark agreements, such as the Madrid Protocol and the regulations governing the European Community Trademark, provide fully-developed filing and registration systems; others are mere statements of intent to form integrated economic communities with harmonized trademark laws.
Most of the agreements provide substantive and/or procedural guidelines for protecting trademarks in member countries, and although only a few have enforcement provisions, which may or may not have been enacted into law in the member countries, even those which provide for no direct enforcement can
be used for guidance and a general understanding of what type of protection to expect in each country. You'll benefit from knowing the standards set by these international agreements used by negotiators, arbitrators, and mediators as a source of general principles to apply in deciding specific
trademark disputes.
An overview of international trademark treaties places them in context within the global community's ongoing efforts to harmonize the world's standards for protecting trademarks
The current membership list for all treaties, allowing the practitioner to find treaties relevant to specific situations in particular jurisdictions
Full discussion of enforcement provisions
DBL How international trademark law has evolved over the last century, and how it is likely to develop in the future

The relationship between industrialists Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick is an illuminating window on American capitalism as well as a fascinating study of how a strong partnership can give way to vicious acrimony. Les Standiford tells the story of the two men in Meet You in Hell, a book that draws its title from Frick's angry rejoinder to Carnegie's late-in-life attempt at reconciliation. Carnegie and Frick, in Standiford's estimation, represented all that was good and bad in American capitalism. They were self-made men, rising from blue-collar backgrounds to become titans in the burgeoning American steel industry, some of the wealthiest men in the world, and loyal partners, even if they were always somewhat short of being actual friends. But they were also pivotal figures in the infamous Homestead Steel strike, where Frick, acting on implicit orders from Carnegie, dispatched hundreds of private security guards into a testy labor situation, resulting in mayhem and death on all sides and forever casting a pall over the history of American labor relations. While Carnegie and Frick's acumen in getting rich is given due credit, Standiford also tells of the workers who were exploited or killed in that same effort. Standiford presents Carnegie and Frick without prejudice, demonstrating their fierce competitiveness, short tempers, business savvy, and troublesome character flaws. The reader also comes to realize that, although there were some negligible differences, the two men are so similar and so powerful that a falling out was inevitable. Meet You in Hell is a valuable insight into the ideas and personalities that shaped American industrialization as well as an interesting parallel to a contemporary economic reality where American jobs, particularly in the manufacturing sector, are threatened and often lost to overseas labor. --John Moe
Book Description
Here is history that reads like fiction: the riveting story of two founding fathers of American industry—Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick—and the bloody steelworkers’ strike that transformed their fabled partnership into a furious rivalry. Author Les Standiford begins at the bitter end, when the dying Carnegie proposes a final meeting after two decades of separation, probably to ease his conscience. Frick’s reply: “Tell him that I’ll meet him in hell.”
It is a fitting epitaph. Set against the backdrop of the Gilded Age, a time when Horatio Alger preached the gospel of upward mobility and expansionism went hand in hand with optimism, Meet You in Hell is a classic tale of two men who embodied the best and worst of American capitalism. Standiford conjures up the majesty and danger of steel manufacturing, the rough-and-tumble of late-nineteenth-century big business, and the fraught relationship of “the world’s richest man” and the ruthless coke magnate to whom he entrusted his companies. Enamored of Social Darwinism, the emerging school of thought that applied the notion of survival of the fittest to human society, both Carnegie and Frick would introduce revolutionary new efficiencies and meticulous cost control to their enterprises, and would quickly come to dominate the world steel market.
But their partnership had a dark side, revealed most starkly by their brutal handling of the Homestead Steel Strike of 1892. When Frick, acting on Carnegie’s orders to do whatever was necessary, unleashed three hundred Pinkerton detectives, the result was the deadliest clash between management and labor in U.S. history. WHILE BLOOD FLOWED, FRICK SMOKED ran one newspaper headline. The public was outraged. An anarchist tried to assassinate Frick. Even today, the names Carnegie and Frick cannot be uttered in some union-friendly communities.
Resplendent with tales of backroom chicanery, bankruptcy, philanthropy, and personal idiosyncrasy, Meet You in Hell is a fitting successor to Les Standiford’s masterly Last Train to Paradise. Artfully weaving the relationship of these titans through the larger story of a young nation’s economic rise, Standiford has created an extraordinary work of popular history.

The more things change, the more they remain the same........2007-09-01
Bought this for my son, graduating with an economics degree; gives an interesting perspective on past economic crises, the movers and the shakers who bear some resemblance to those calling the shots today. very readable and enjoyable as per my son.
A decent account of Carnegie, Frick & Homestead.......2007-01-24
The book is fairly well-written & is easy to read. As far as it goes, it is an accurate account of the often tumultuous relationship between Carnegie & Frick, focusing of course on the Homestead Strike.
Standiford does a reasonably good job of fleshing out the personalities of the key actors in the drama. While hardly a definitive study of the period, this book would serve well as an introductory work into this particular subject.
A Terrific Balancing Act..........2006-09-13
I just returned from Pittsburgh when I found this book at a local bookstore. Interested in learning more about the Homestead lockout/strike of 1892, I purchased this book and was never disappointed. Very readable... and entertaining. The author has a gift for bringing to life people and events that surely could have been dull and boring. I thank every steel worker who ever worked at Homestead, for every ride at Kennywood Amusement Park and for every steel framed skyscraper/construction that exist in my own New York City home! I thank the author for revealing the 'war that goes on within us' that was exhibited in the personalities of Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick. Thank you.
Great read!.......2006-07-09
Meet You in Hell is well-researched and well-written. I enjoyed it very much and have been recommending it to my patrons who like non-fiction.
A poorly titled book, poorly researched and poorly written.......2006-05-31
Les Standiford's Meet You in Hell is ostensibly a history of the "Parnership that Transformed America" between Henry Clay Frick and Andrew Carnegie. The problem with this book begins there. Its center is the Homestead Strike and labor unrest in an industrial giant and the beginning of organized labor in the face of very powerful and often ruthless business organizations. The author states upfront his goal was to "focus upoon the thread of a relationship (between Carnegie and Frick)and have restricted my attention for the most part to matters pertaining thereto". I was expecting a true look into the partnership between the two such as No Ordinary Time by Doris Kearns Goodwin (where she brilliantly wrote of Franklin and Elenor Roosevelt's relationship and the effects it had on public policy as well as their own lives). I was sadly disappointed.
This book is a short, if disjointed read. Just over 300 pages and it isn't until the last 50 that Standiford turns his attention to the relationship between these two very powerful and driven men. The bibliography should be read before one even reads page one. It is one and a half pages, most undergraduate college papers have done greater "research". The author at times seems to derail himself in the rare instances where he might capture the reader's attention. In discussing in detail the Homestead Strike he states, at the beginning of a chapter, "Had this been a modern-day standoff, with Frick in close touch . . . by cell phone and Carnegie observing the scene via CNN satellite feed . . . ". This incredibly obvious note was nonscensical. All history would be different if communications were instant rather than weeks and even months just a relatively short time ago. Either Standiford is not qualified to write history (certainly a possibility if you see his creditials) or he thinks his readers daft.
This book is only slightly interesting if you would like to learn more about the Homestead Strike and, even there, it adds no real insight. I finished it only as I was determined to learn more about Carnegie and Frick and, importantly, their parnership. I did not. I would caution that any serious readers of history not make the same mistake I did thinking that something could be learned by reading this pithy writing. It cannot.
Most succinctly put, books about history should be written by qualified historians. This one was not.

Survivor: The American Steel Industry.......2007-09-06
Reading this book is a little like watching a reality TV show: two overbearing captains of industry stuck together in a bubble, unwittingly entertaining the public. Though there is little new revealed in "Meet You in Hell," Les Standiford's biography of this infamous business partnership, its value is how the book wonderfully tracks, in tandem, the two robber barons. There are already a dozen biographies of these men, but this book is the first to train its camera solely on the relationship, both business and personal. That's a great leap forward. Thank you, Les Standiford.
Excellent Read.......2007-08-04
After moving to Pittsburgh I toured Frick's mansion, Clayton. I find it to be so interesting that I picked this book up from the bookstore on the way home.
It turned out to be a fascinating read and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The author is able to make the history come alive and make the personalities of Carnegie and Frick identifiable.
Immediately after I finished I gave it to my wife and she loves it too.
And if they'd liked each other, then what?.......2007-05-28
Apart from retelling some ancient gossip, it's hard to figure out why "Meet You in Hell" was written.
That the rise of the American steel and (in a supporting role) coke industries changed the way we live is not news. That the partnership between Carnegie (steel) and Frick (coke) was bitter was, so far as anything this book shows, immaterial to that. The outcome would not have been different if they had gotten along well.
There is an enormous literature about steel and the different approaches of the American and British makers, the consequences of having the foundries concentrated so far east as Pittsburgh when the demand was moving west, metallurgical innovations etc. "Meet You in Hell" is innocent of all that.
A lot of time is spent ruminating over Carnegie's well-known inconsistencies about being rich. How that changed America is not explained. Standiford makes much of the "facts" that Carnegie was the richest man in the world and the most spectacular philanthropist -- neither of which was actually true.
Nor it is explained why Carnegie's philanthropy, which arose from ideas he was forming before he met Frick, had much to do with the partnership. Had Carnegie gone bust -- as might have happened -- Rockefeller would have given away twice as much, and Rockefeller's philanthropy also was based on what he decided in his young manhood.
For a time, while reading the book, I thought Standiford was going to do something with the Homestead strike of 1892, which really was a watershed in the way Americans behave. However, he doesn't do much to explain how labor conditions were trending before the Homestead violence, nor how they did so afterward. Besides, although Carnegie and Frick were feuding about lots of things, they were as one during Homestead.
"Meet You in Hell" adds nothing to what has long been known about Carnegie and Frick. If the intention was to introduce the episode to a new generation that never heard of either man, then the book is short on background.
Overall, A Good Period History.......2007-02-01
Les Standiford's work is, overall, a good period piece evoking the culture and events of late nineteenth century industrial America. He retains a critical perspective without damning his subjects as "robber barons," etc., seeing them in the context of their times and their essential humanity - even when behaving inhumanly.
There are a few inaccuracies, inconsistencies, irrelevancies, and just plain head scratchers: as on page 29, where he states: "In the wake of Ireland's Great Potato Famine, the family sold everything and came, as so many of their fellow Scotsmen did, to America." While this is factually true, one wonders what the Irish potato famine had to do with Scottish immigrants, particularly the Carnegies of Dunfermline. The relevance to the subject remains obscure, unless there's a connection that Mr. Standiford is not sharing with his readers. (?)
In general, though, it's a good read, and a good introduction for the general reader who's just learning about the era, the fruits of which are still part of the life around him: from the 19th century buildings which yet remain in northern US cities, to the remnants of American industry, and the great financial institutions of Wall Street.
Fascinating history, very readable.......2006-08-05
I grew up in Pittsburgh, went to the Carnegie Library and Museum, and my dad's first office was in the splendid Frick Building. Obviously this very readable nonfiction history of Henry Clay Frick and Andrew Carnegie appealed to me for those reasons initially, but it is fascinating on so many levels.
Both men rise from poverty as an immigrants in the US to become the wealthiest men in the US and probably the world. The book is interesting in its coverage of labor issues, the first labor unions, and the srike fiasco at Carnegie's Homestead works which virtually broke unions in the US for 30 yrs. Anyone in the business world will be interested in the story of how one of the greatest and largest US corporations, US Steel, came into being. It was a time in the US when JP Morgan, Andrew Mellon, and others first came into being, and it affected our country more than you realize!
If you enjoy well-written nonfiction that reads like fiction, and that enlightens you while managing to be entertaining as well, you will really love this book.

Paul Krause calls upon the methods and insights of labor history, intellectual history, anthropology, and the history of technology to situate the events of the lockout and their significance in the broad context of America’s Guilded Age. Utilizing extensive archival material, much of it heretofore unknown, he reconstructs the social, intellectual, and political climate of the burgeoning post-Civil War steel industry.
Customer Reviews:
Disaster on the labor front.......2006-09-11
This is a concise and well-illustrated account of the deadly strike at the Carnegie Steel works at Homestead, Pennsylvania, in July 1892. When workers' wages were cut despite huge financial gains raked in by the industry because of high tariffs, the Amalgamated Association of Iron & Steel Workers called a strike at the Carnegie mill for July 1. Management decided to treat the strike almost as an outright war on their business, and when Pinkertons were called in to quell the strikers, violence broke out on July 6 in which a number of men were killed. Industrialist Henry Frick was nearly assassinated, and soon troops were brought in to restore order.
This book tells the story through contemporary newspaper reports and magazine articles, congressional testimony taken after the event, excerpts from memoirs and other books - all accompanied by many illustrations and photographs. Short essays by modern historians dealing with the technology of steel making, political issues, foreign groups working in the mills, and changes in the laws, among other topics, put the events in perspective. These were dark days on the labor front, and this book captures the mood and immediacy of the strike magnificently. Highly recommended.
Great Firsthand Sources Make this Book a Fascinating Read!.......1998-12-30
The River Ran Red tells the story of the Homestead Strike of 1892 using firsthand sources (for example exerpts from Carnegie's speeches, local and national papers and even memos from H.C. Frick). This book comes alive more than any other book on the strike because it is told by firsthand sources, not a stuffy historian's view.

Lockout : the story of the Homestead strike of 1892: A study of violence, unionism, and the Carnegie steel empire
New York Times Book Review May 23, 1965
Big Steel Won the Battle
Review by Eric F. Goldman
The anarchist Alexander Berkman left his restaurant and his mistress, traveled down to Homestead, Pa., fired two shots point blank at the Carnegie steel manager, Henry Clay Frink. Pvt. William L Iams of the Pennsylvania National Guard heard the news, shouted "three cheers!" and was sentenced by his commanding officer to hand by his thumbs until he was unconscious. Strike leaders were arrested for "treason," a labor sympathizer hired a cook to put arsenic and croton oil in the food of scabs, and workers fought Pinkertons with rifles, cannons and dynamite.
The homestead steel strike of 1892 was certainly one of the most savage labor battles in the history of the United States. It reflected the deep cleavage that had developed in American life by 1890's and it affected all labor-management relations for decades to come. The details from an engrossing story and Leon Wolff, author of the fine historical works, "In Flanders Field" and "Little Brown Brothers," does it full justice in this imaginatively researched and vividly written volume.
The noisy issue in the strike was wages, but a more fundamental question was whether the Carnegie Steel Company was going to continue to deal with the union, the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers. Still more basic was the issue that racked all aspects of American life in the 1890's: Was business to operate solely to make as much money as possible or did it bear some responsibility for helping to bring about a decent way of life for its employees?
Andrew Carnegie, the principal owner of the Homestead operation, had written quite specifically of his respect for unions and his general concern for labor. But during the strike he kept right on vacationing in Scotland and did nothing to soften the policy of his company. He left the direction of the firm's actions to Henry Clay Frick, a pale, humorless, harsh minded man)"In all the world he had not one friend," M. Wolff writes.) who early in life had dedicated himself to the relentless pursuit of profits. The union leadership was quite capable of naiveté. The whole country was filled with a bedlam of movements of discontent. The result were a brutal strike-one reflected in angry feelings across the nation.
At first, the clash was technically a lockout. When Frick tried to land about 300 Pinkertons men under cover of darkness on the Monongahela River side of the plant, the outraged workers opened fire with every weapon available. This and ensuing event led to about 35 deaths-including at least two suicides-and wholesale destruction in the area. When the lockout turned into a strike, Frick remained totally rigid and in time the striking workers drifted out of town or came to work like so many whipped animals. The union was destroyed. Strike leaders were blacklisted in the whole industry. At Homestead the 12-hour days, seven days per week, with a24 hours stretch period every second week, was restored for all classes of workers.
Mr. Wolff makes every effort to be fair. ("Lockout" is one of the most impartial labor histories we have.) But objectivity required that he describe the pathetic condition of the workers, the iron policies of Frick and the soaring profits made by the company as a result of breaking the strike. It also required his description of the strange behavior of Carnegie. Mr. Wolff comments: "The actions taken by the Carnegie company were in gross violation of the pro-labor principles he himself had stated for so many years. He was-or appeared to be-the hypocrite supreme.
The reader shares fully the irony of Mr. Wolff's little story of the aged Carnegie, regal in his Fifth Avenue mansion, turning to a secretary and asking, "How much did you say I had given away, Poynton?"
"$324,657,399"
"Good Heaven! Where did I ever get all that money?"
Curiously enough, "Lockout" does not sufficiently emphasize an important aspect of the Homestead strike. It was one of the major events of the 1890's which, because of their very bitterness, helped undo men of the Frick mentality. It was an alarm bell not only to the humane but to the pragmatic. Memories of the strike helped leaders like President Theodore Roosevelt make plain to the larger public that if some restraints were not put on the money-driving of the more ruthless, the whole American system of free economy might well give way to some variety of Socialism.
Whatever its minor flaws, "Lockout" is not only absorbing but highly encouraging reading. In our own era, every other spring may bring troubles between labor and management in the steel industry but a repetition of the Homestead is inconceivable. "Lockout" makes clear, as only rich history can, just how far toward sanity and decency we have traveled.
Book Description
A polygon is a dead parrot. Respiration is composed of two acts, first inspiration and then expectoration. They gave William IV a lovely funeral. It took six men to carry the beer. This priceless collection of ill-digested juvenile learning, first published by Viking in 1931 as Boners (compiled and edited by "Alexander Abingdon"), was an enormous bestseller for over half a century and contains what are among the earliest published drawings by the unmistakable Dr. Seuss. Redesigned and repackaged with a vintage look, Herrings Go About the Sea in Shawls is a must for the legion fans of Dr. Seuss, and the gift of choice on any occasion, for anyone with a sense of humor--earthy, cerebral, subtle, or sublimely silly!

Amusing and cleverly illustrated.......1999-03-27
I own an original copy of this wonderful publication entitled The Omnibus Boners. It was copyrighted in 1931. I loved it as a small boy and refer to it often for the delightful quotations. It is a wonder filled collection of what actually go's on in the juvenile mind. The writings are genuine and as an amusing sidelight, they expose the changes in our educational standards since 1931. Dr. Seuss' illustrations are sometimes reminiscent of his later publications like Horton, Cat in the Hat, Grinch, etc..
