Excerpt from Organization of Work Arras was not only the birthplace of his socialistic, but also of his journalistic career for two of his poems, Sur Mirabeau and Eloge de Manuel, were awarded prizes by the Arras academy and local newspapers published other bits from his pen. In 1834 he returned to Paris, wrote for various papers and finally in 1837 became the editor of the Bon Sens. The impressions received in Arras first came to light in this Bon Sens. He pointed out the evil effect of free competition on the working classes and went even so far as to devote a portion of his paper to all working men's news.

Blanc disagreed with the publishers because they were not in harmony with his ideas and the final break came when he demanded that the building of railroads be conducted by the state and not by private corporations.
