Today in Labor History June 6, 1832: French monarchist forces put down the June Rebellion (AKA the Paris Uprising of 1832). The uprising, lasting from June 5-6, involved Republicans trying to overthrow the monarchy. The uprising played a prominent role in Victor Hugo’s “Les Misérables.” In addition to anger over the persistence of the monarchy, the population was furious over their poverty and the vast wealth gap between the classes. Crop failures, food shortages and high inflation also contributed to the uprising. And a cholera outbreak earlier in the year had killed over 18,000 Parisians (over 100,000 French, in total). Also preceding this rebellion was the Canut workers revolt in Lyon.

“The Society of the Rights of Man,” a Jacobin organization, led the uprising. They had a well-organized army and they were supported by workers of many nationalities, including Polish, Italian and German refugees. Initially, the rebels were victorious, conquering major portions of Paris. However, on the night of June 5, 20,000 National Guardsmen, bolstered by 40,000 regular army troops, surrounded the rebels and ultimately put them down by June 6.

Today in Labor History May 26, 1755: The French authorities caught and executed Louis Mandrin, the French Robin Hood. He had led an army of 300 smugglers in a rebellion against the Fermiers, or tax collectors. This made him incredibly popular with the masses because the Fermiers would tax them far more than the king required and pocket the extra. Mandrin would also buy products in Switzerland and sell them in France without paying any taxes, making them much less expensive. However, when he was caught, the authorities publicly tortured him and left his body on display to teach the masses a lesson. The people left sympathetic notes beside his body and a legend was born.

Mandrin was referenced in Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables.” Books and films were made about his life, including the 1924 silent film, “Mandrin” and the book, “Captain Mandrin.”
