A BANNED MEETING
MR. KIRKWOOD'B PROSECUTION.
LONDON, 11th November. The House of Commons concluded the roport stage of the Electricity Bill. On the motion for adjournment Mr. D. Kirkwood (Labour) raised the question of banning a meeting on behalf of the miners in Derbyshire on Sunday, also the question of his threatened prosecution for making speeches calculated to create a coal shortage. He said the prosecution was due to a personal feud between himself and the Home Secretary.
Captain Mackwood, on behalf of the Home Office, assured Mr. Kirkwood that the last thing the Home Secretary desired was to see him locked up. He was sure that Mr. Kirkwood would receive a fair trial, and wished him the best of luck. The House then adjourned.
