RIOTING IN WALES.
FIGHTS WITH THE POLICE. STONES AND BOILING WATER. By Telejrapii.—Press Association. —Oopyrieb^ London, November 23. Desperate fights between the strikers and police at Pen-y-Graig and Ton-y-pandy occurred yesterday. The police in the main streets were subjected to sudden rushes by the strikers from side alleys. The rioters hurled stones and household utensils, filled with boiling water, from the verandahs on to the heads of the police. The chairman of the miners' committee vainly appealed to the men to cease violence, but he was unheeded and narrowly escaped personal injury. Fifty rioters were injured. The absence of arrests is a feature of the disturbances. The Times condemns Mr. Churchill's vacillating and feeble administration, which has resulted in disorder and violence, citizens being terrorised, shops plundered and dwellings destroyed.
