General Roguet, commander of the 7th division…
November 1831 CE
The insurgents occupy the town hall.
At this point, the leaders of the workers are unsure as to the further course of action, having started the strike with the sole intention of making sure the fixed rate on silken goods was being applied correctly.
A few republicans in the group insist on using the momentum to form a governmental committee.
The committee does not make any definite decisions, due to a lack of agenda.
Not helping the committee's effectiveness is the canuts' refusal to have their insurrection used for political purposes.
