London, July 24

The Cardiff strikers, including a formidable hooligan element, made a concerted attack on a skating rink used as tho quarters of the imported Metropolitan police.

Tho riot continued throughout Saturday night. The police drove the mob from the street, but the use of broken bottles and baas filled with stones necessitated truncheon chargos. The police, also struck dozens of strikers with their fists. Many shop fronts were wrecked and windows in private houses were broken. Twenty police were seriously hurt. Mr Ben Tillet, speaking at Victoria Park to the transport workers' organisation, said they had more power to stop food supplies than all the Dreadnoughts in the world. They were today conferring with a capitalisation representing a thousand million, and there must be no hesitation to ask all the transport workers to support tho London stoppage.
