WELSH STRIKERS
BURN A SLAUGHTERHOUSE.
TO AVENGE A SUPPOSED WRONG
(Received Last Night, 5.5 o'clock.)
LONDON, March 25. Tho Clydach Vale strikers set fire to a slaughterhouse. They dragged a cart belonging to a butcher named Jones to the top of a hill aid hurled it down against the ruins.
The rioters alleged that Jones and his brother showed the police a shortcub across the mountains, thus enabling them to turn the rioters' flank on Thursday. The allegations, however, were untrue. (Received March 25, 8 a.m.) LONDON, March 24.
Mr W. E. Harvey (Labour M.P. for North-east Derbyshire), representing the British Miners'. Federation in the Clydach Vale district; says he was never so badly treated in his life, and that if disputes are conducted on such lines there will be an end to all trades union movements in the near future. The financial crisis in connection with tho South Wales Miners' Federation is acute. Despite a special levy of 2s per month and the British Federation's contribution of £3OO weekly, there is a weekly deficit of £SOO. This is being taken from the reserve fund, the original £120,000 for relief pay being exhausted.
