The Paris Commune. Saturday, May 13. The Paris Commune decrees that in the regulations, for all supplies to be made to the municipal administration, it will include, in the tenders for these supplies, the minimum daily payments for the workers involved. This is a first step towards the introduction of a minimum wage to curb liberalism in the labor market so that only the advancement of techniques is the sole true factor in the fall of product prices and not the lowering of wages, as Léo Frankel, the "minister of labor" of the Paris Commune, essentially states. The National Guard of the Commune today had to abandon the fort of Vanves and withdrew through the underground tunnels towards Montrouge and Malakoff.
