We regret to have to record a very serious outbreak

of labour troubles in the South Wales coalfield. In spite of the efforts of the Union officials, sporadic and unauthorised strikes have broken out in a great many collieries, and it is stated that by the end of the week many thousands of men will be out of work. It is possible, however, that the strike may end as rapidly as it has begun. The Welsh labour troubles have been accompanied by a considerable amount of rioting.
