WELSH MINERS' STRIKE
VIOLENT ATTACKS ON THE POLICE. PRIMITIVE BUT TERRIBLE METHODS. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. London, November 23. The fight with the strikers at Panygraig and Tonypandy was a desperate affair. The police in the main streets were subjected to sudden rushes by strikers from side alleys. The rioters hurled stones, household utensils, and boiling water from verandahs on to the heads of the police.
The chairman of the Miners' Union vainly appealed to them to desist from violence, and narrowly escaped personal injury. The absence of arrests is a feature of the disturbance. The Times condemns Mr. Churchill's vacillating and feeble administration in South Wales, which is given over to disorder and violence. Citizens are terrorised, shops plundered, and dwellings destroyed.
