Dean of the French labor movement for forty-five years, L�on Jouhaux (July 1, 1879-April 28, 1954) was born in Paris, heir to the radical beliefs of his grandfather who had fought in the Revolution of 1848 and of his father who had been a part of the Commune that had controlled Paris for a brief time in the aftermath of the Franco-Prussian War. Seeking higher wages, L�on's father left his low-paying municipal job in 1880 to join the labor force of a match factory in Aubervilliers. L�on attended primary school there until the age of twelve; studied at the Lyc�e Colbert on a scholarship for nine months before he was taken out of school when his father's earnings were stopped by a strike; spent a year at the Diderot Vocational School, again abandoning his studies to help support himself and the family. In 1895 at the age of sixteen, he entered the match factory, and even before becoming a full-fledged union member, prepared the minutes of the union meetings. After a period of military service in Algeria, from which he was recalled because his father had gone blind as a result of years of working with volatile white phosphorus, Jouhaux returned to work in the factory. In 1900 he participated in his first strike, a protest against the use of phosphorus, was blacklisted, and dismissed. Unable to find steady employment, he held a succession of jobs in a sugar refinery, a fertilizer plant, and on the docks, meanwhile attending classes at the Sorbonne, and the Universit� Populaire at Aubervilliers.
