RIOTS THREATENED.
PUBLIC HOUSES CLOSED. London, March 16. Owing to the attitude taken up by the colliers out on strike, it is feared riots may ensue. Steps are being taken by the authorities to prevent any disturbance. The magistrates have ordered all public houses and establishments holding bottle licenses to be closed at once, and have billetted troops in the premises to preserve order. Twelve thousand colliers in the east of Worcester and south of Staffordshire refused to go out on strike with the general body of colliers.
