* — DESPERATE FIGHTING. FIFTY RIOTERS INJURED. (Received November 24, 9 a.m.) LONDON, November 23. There has been desperate fighting between the police and strikers at Peu-y-Graig and Ton-y-Pandv. The police in the main street subjected the strikers to sudden rushes. From sido alleys the rioters hurled stones and household utensils, and from verandahs poured boiling water oh to the heads of the police. The chairman of tbc Miners Committee vainly appealed to the rioters to desist- from violence, and narrowly escaped personal injury. Fifty rioters were injured. The absence of arrests has been a feature of the disturbances. The Times condemns the vacillating and foeble administration of Mr Winston Churchill, Home Secretary, in South Wales, which has, it says, given over South Wales to disorder and violence. Citizens are terrorised, shops plundered, and dwellings destroyed.
