	Paris Commune - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Paris Commune was proclaimed on March 28, although local districts often retained the organizations from the siege.

		The Commune was assaulted from April 2 by the government forces of the Versailles Army, and the city was constantly bombarded.

		The Commune took a whole series of social measures: "the abolition of the nightwork of journeymen bakers, the prohibition, under penalty, of the employers' practice to reduce wages by levying upon their workpeople fines under manifold pretexts." But, Marx said, "the great social measure of the Commune was its own working existence.
